    She looks like a bad copy of the portrait on a $100 bill.

    I’m giving this one a 3 due to an intellectual honesty that will not allow me to lie and bash this comic every day even though Buddy is a slow (gifted?) former pushbroom salesman who (obviously) died years ago, the government covering it up by reposting his cartoons.

    Now… this may be funny by accident and indeed I think I have evidence to that effect, but it’s still funny to me (a 3 remember, don’t get carried away) based on my earlier criteria that a joke must do at least one of the things on my list.

    This would barely satisfy
    [c.) knowing someone/something like the character/situation] and
    [f.) at least smiling mildly or being amused at all.]

    The problem is that it’s not a caricature - this is quite exactly the way two older women might talk/joke with eachother. It’s not even a particularly winning line if said in a real conversation. Were it delivered wittily in an unplanned moment it would evince the slightest chortle… drawn here in premeditation it has lost all but trace amounts of comedy.

    @farleftside: aging isn’t exclusive to women so I didn’t take it personally.
