And Now a Tip... From Jeff Gannon

I gotta tell ya, that Doonesbury is almost as funny as Cathi or Marmaduke.

Well, okay, not Marmaduke. I mean, Marmaduke has this huge dog in it. He's like, I don't know, friggin' enormous or somethin'.

Now that's comedy. Big, huge dogs who think "funny" thoughts.

Has Doonesbury ever actually been funny? Or has it always been like the later films of Woody Allen-- ie., the cultural elite approves of Doonesbury, so everyone pretends they find it funny, in order to not be look unhip or lacking a refined sense of humor?

Would seem to be another case of "preference falsification" to me. Seriously. Yeah, the character "Duke" is based on Hunter S. Thompson. Pardon me for asking-- but so fucking what? Is that a joke in and of itself?

And don't get me started on "Boopsie."

Now, if you'll excuse me, the kids have tied their wagon to Marmaduke's tail. Man, are they in for the ride of their lives...

PS: This will be the first and last time I ever post a stupid Doonesbury cartoon.
