Apartment 3-G continues to be boring as poo poo.

I'm only posting today's, but trust me, you missed nothing.

Lynn wrote this strip in the early '80s, when language was slightly different. Not to say she didn't get it slightly wrong, though.

Hey, y'know what else was set in the early '80s and late '70s, when the language was slightly different, and yet got many things slightly wrong? JOHN DARLING!

In today's installment, John is still interviewing a Nuclear Regulatory Commission dude about the Three Mile Island mess.

There isn't a gently caress YOU big enough for this. Seriously, gently caress Batiuk. What bad thing would happen if he let him take the loving job?? Someone actually has happiness?

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

There was literally no goddamn reason for that plotline save to have fate take a dump on one of the cast regulars. For a guy who's so hung up on being an ~artist~ (because I'm not about to pretend every bullshit thing Les does isn't Batiuk jerking himself off over how great his comic is) he sure doesn't seem to understand how to make plot points feel important. Funky Winkerbean isn't everything wrong with comics, or anything trite like that, but it is one of the few strips in this thread that makes me think newspaper editors are morons for choosing to run such dreck in the first place. I can't even stop reading it because I'm just so fascinated by its sheer wretchedness (See also: Intelligent Life).

Come on, you guys. If he were Jungle Patrol, don't you think somebody on the base might recognize him?

Gunther can feel absolutely free to go gently caress himself at any time. That said, it's kind of weird to call the person you are on a date with "Mr. Gray." Maybe she's doing some kind of a freaky 50 Shades roleplay.

I wonder if this little place on third actually exists outside the apartment. Or if Lu Ann has a jacket.

Yeah, it does. My old man is exactly like that, and it got to the point that holiday get-togethers were just so loving traumatic, that my family and I just quit. That was, like, two years ago. Honestly, I think he's happy it turned out that way. My in-laws are awesome though. Whatever.
