The whole point of this discussion is that a COMIC strip has no business preaching or even supposedly “teaching” us about the law. That’s not its function under any condition whatsoever — we read it for HUMOR, and/or for a STORY, not to hear the author beat her liberal drum. The person who writes the strip is desperately confused about what her job is. And she’s goig to lose a LOT of readers in the process of rediscovering what her strip is supposed to be all about. I for one will NOT be preached to in a comic strip, and I know I’m not alone! Let what’s-her-name (I’ve already forgotten) go on MSNBC and achieve false sainthood as a liberal AUTHOR of a liberal BOOK on how she thinks we’re all too stupid to obey the law without her ragging on us about it, and too dumb to know the difference between comedy and propaganda. Then see how well THAT book sells . . . even to other liberals. They are not ALL stupid!
I’ve been reading Stone Soup for years, but NO MORE! The LAST thing I need in the morning is another lecture from a liberal! NUTS! I refuse even to look at it anymore, and I KNOW others feel the same way. Why doesn’t Jan Eliot just write a liberal book instead? Lecture people who think they NEED her liberal non-wisdom rammed down their throats? She might even sell one or two.
Meanwhile, that’s NOT what “comics” are supposed to be all about.
