I have a headache, I was hit over the head with today’s strip. Andy looks disgusted and he should look perplexed. Do the trio not know how to draw perplexed? Guess not.
A Benny Hill skit: A man walks into a place, holds up a sign that reads “This is a bank robbery.” The other man holds up a sign that reads “This is a fish shop.” That was funny, and had action. This one has no action (Andy’s hands are in the same peculiar position in the first two panels, and only his closed mouth is different. He should at least move back in his chair at the effrontery of being told that his drinking is somehow or other a problem!) This one has no humor, either.

Mahoney never has to draw anything any more it can all be cut and pasted from previous strips. Kelly used to spend hours drawing one daily strip. G&G once in a great while do come up with a good joke. Nobody compares to Walt Kelly.

Of the ones I bought today, the newest was 1982, the oldest 1965, but none in 1967-1970. (Of course some of the ones I have in the basement would qualify, but once again, no scanner, sigh.)
