this has to be the DUMBEST, MOST UNINTELLIGENT, UNFUNNY, and IDIOTIC comic strip that still exists in the newspaper today. It’s never once made me even come close to laughing and generally the concepts are something that you would expect from the 1950’s. DUMP THIS STRIP NOW.

This is the DUMBEST COMIC today that still exists in the newspaper. Why is this still around? It’s NEVER funny and it tries to be like the Far Side, which it never will be.e

Maybe it isn’t a “home run” everyday, but some of us still enjoy it. I’m sure it isn’t easy trying to come up with something funny everyday.

para gustos, los colores… nobody’s pointing an AK47 at you to read it… besides it is so intelligent that you can’t understand it

Actually this is the funniest one I’ve seen so far, (in 5 years) by this guy! I gave it a half a chuckle.

To Oto:
There is nothing intelligent about this strip (and never has been). It’s attempting to be the Far Side which it will NEVER be.
To JonD17: I favorited this comic just so I could come back and comment on it and see what fools responded to me.
The reason I see this is that I read the comics in my newspaper every day and this is right in the upper-left corner. I cannot avoid it. I’m subjected to this garbage in several newspapers I read and I don’t understand how it’s still published.
A good chunk of the comics today stink. The few exceptions are F Minus (hit or miss), Pearls Before Swine, Get Fuzzy, and Doonesbury (Oto, that’s intelligent for you, not this stupid crap). Today’s strip, yet again, proved how unfunny and unoriginal the author is. OMG PLAYSTATION WITHDRAWAL HAHAHAHA. That’s so original.
