Man, there used to be a day when I looked forward to the Sunday morning paper so I could check out the Sunday comics. Ohhhh buddy, but not now. Its amazing that these "comics" (the term is used loosely as they are almost never, in any way, funny) are still running. Its the same crap over and over. Nothings changed since the mid eighties at least, probably longer, I just cant remember that far. Are there no up and coming cartoonists out there to take up the slack? Or has Disney snatched them all up to animate subliminal porn into movies to corrupt the youth of America? To illustrate my point of shitty comics, let me cite a few examples. First off, theres the whole "Mary Worth" style of soap opera-like comics. How in the hell? As if television soaps aren't bad enough they have to go dumping this shit into the papers? wow, I can hardly wait another week to see what will happen in the next four frames of her life.... Then theres "Mark Trail," the rugged outdoors man who,every week, shares his epic cartoon wisdom of the great American outdoors with the commoners like myself. Damn shame he wont answer my letters about the great American fuzzy beaver... Then theres "Garfield". I know what you're youre thinking.. "oh, come on, I love Garfield... blah blah blah" yeah, I hear you. I was also once a former Garfield fan. But have you checked it out anytime in the last 4 or 5 years? Its time Jim Davis threw in the towel. If I see another 3 frames of that fat orange cat sitting three, only to smack a spider with a rolled up newspaper in the last frame I swear im going to pack a Ryder truck full of fertilizer, drive to Washington D.C. and fertilize all the plants there. yeah man. and whoh, how bout if Garfield kicks Odie off the table one more time, cuz that just gets funnier every friggin time I see it. Seriously Jim. give it up. And then theres "The Family Circus", or UTTER CRAP, as I like to call it. Thank god bill Keane has been pumping this sappy, never funny, totally lame, crap out for the past 30 years. The sad thing about this is that there are really only about two individual comics which are modified slightly and then recycled like the papers they're printed on. You've got the ever entertaining "watch the stupid kid take the longest path possible between two points because I swear its funny" strip, and the "stupid, retard, grew up under the power lines kids spouting their lame ass insights into the world" strips. If I were the parents of the kids in the strip I would have to kill myself for raising such totally moronic tools. Either that or kill off all the kids, bury then under the porch, and try to start over, perhaps laying off the methamphetemines during pregnancy. The down side to the family circus is that its only one frame long, which means that you cant avoid it. What the hell happened to good comics like Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side?!?!

ahhh, a prime example of the "comedy"
that is the Family Circus.... you see,
now thats comic genius there. I mean,
the kid tried to sit on a basketball and fell
over. It just doesn't get any funnier than that.
You may ask yourself, "how much more
retarded can these kids be?" and the
answer is none.... none more retarded.
This passes for comedy in America?? For real Jim, your comic makes the baby Jesus cry. Just throw in the towel and give it up....now. I'm serious man.
