POLICE
Policeman: I'm sorry, we can't arrest your shadow....
Man: Why?! It's been following me for years! It's got to stop! I have a right to some privacy!
Of all the Far Side wannabes that have emerged in the last 20 or so years, Wumo might be the stupidest and most worthless of the bunch. The “jokes” seem to have been written by a not-very-intelligent computer. Then, to make matters worse, they now have a 2nd “strip” which has hijacked a large portion of the free “Metro” newspapers available at subway stops in NY/Bos/Philly. It’s called TruthFacts and is a daily “parody” chart or diagram that is devoid of humor, reeking with obviousness, and seems to have been assembled by the laziest high school students imaginable. As someone who is part Danish I say: “Go back to Denmark, you worthless hacks.”
Because, sadly, it took over the space of a better comic in my daily paper (where I must see it every day) and their even more worthless strip replaced the letters column, of all things, in the free Metro papers…all in all, an unpleasant triumph for mediocrity!

Reminds me of a situation a while back when a guy was able to get a restraining order against someone who was actually his parole officer.
