   But she also needs to be funny. Not just Luann, but many of the characters have been matured beyond their comic premise: Brad (who is now respectable and competent), Toni (who has lost all her mystery and air of danger), Les (who has calmed down and developed some silver lining), Tiffany (who has lost her glamour and exaggerated self-confidence), etc. etc. This would all be fine if the point was to turn the strip into a soap opera. But absurdity is the strips bread and butter, but these days all the absurdities peter out.

   Very brave to ridicule the blandness of your own comic invention. Years ago Luann had a lot of character. It’s like the strip is complaining “I cleaned up my character and now I can’t do a think with her.”

   It’s been a long time since this strip tackled a serious issue. Can the funnies handle family planning and abortion? I’d be disappointed by an unwanted pregnancy arc where those options aren’t even on the table.

   The stippling of the ledge varies. Has this never happened in Garfield. Or is your emphasis on the number four?

   I myself was focused on the use of “literally.” Growing up, my mother constantly used the word to mean “figuratively.” As in “there were literally millions of people in the line at the DMV.” So I spent years confused about what the word means.
