Yeah, the cartoonist definitely has this coming, I don’t blame those guys one bit for smacking him with some pies. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Overboard as it is now (in 2016), but at this point, the strip is nothing but endless variations of the same handful of jokes about Captain Crow’s crew being a bunch of slackers who actively avoid doing any work and the women treating them as complete losers while simultaneously being unable to actually say it to their faces. Louie’s appearances being the occasional break from the routine (except when they aren’t).
I see things differently and am really enjoying these strips. A while back i wrote that i thought it was a good idea Chip decided to do away with the dating angle and yet i still found myself amused most of the time by subsequent strips along those lines. But then again maybe i’m just easily amused (lucky me!).
But it seems to me that variations on themes are common in comics and sitcoms too for that matter. And the 2016 version of Overboard has it’s share. For how many times have we witnessed Louie and the wolves howling together? Or Charlie and his vegetable garden? Or Charlie chasing oversized rabbits out of said garden? And then of course there’s Nate and his flying rodent squadron working around the clock to make sure he sticks to his diet.
At times i get tired of those storylines but more often than not i enjoy them. Just as i do here.
