We don't say it often enough, but Sally Forth is a really good strip. Look at the level of detail. Someone knows and cares what they're putting in their strip. Missing the Bullet Farmer's crazy treaded muscle car though

Anal Retentive Chronological Alert: The Eternal Rerun Machine is going to be jumping back and forth for awhile because most of July 1968 was a "Snoopy for president" storyline, and it's become obvious that they're setting that aside for next year.

One of the perks of running late is that I got to see the obnoxious discussion in the comment thread about why kids are so depressing these days. The answer, spelled out as bluntly as usual, is that every generation that isn't the Boomers is a cosmic dingleberry.

The downside is that none of that has anything to do with the fact that we're going to be spending a week at Les Moore's half-assed reunion. The upside is that none of that has anything to do with the fact that we're going to be spending a week at Les Moore's half-assed reunion.

What makes it all the worse is it's a pair of 8 year olds acting like they're in a soap opera. It's not cute for an 8 year old to want to go on a diet because she thinks she's fat, it's sad and weird.

There are terrible similarities I think between Working Daze and Holbrook's Fast Track comic. They both have this weird transformation fetish thing going for them, the boss who is some kind of terrible jerk but we're still supposed to like them (I think?) and also they both are bad. I couldn't think of a third reason so I just threw a fact in there.

They're both terrible at characterization, too. Holbrook and Zakour both seem to have a hard time going beyond "character has characteristic" jokes. Yeah, Working Daze is supposed be a gag-a-day strip, but when each character has only one gag that wears out really loving quick.

I'd also say that they both keep trying to put what they think is their "breakout" character out there in more media, but can't grasp that nobody cares because they can't do anything beyond the "character has characteristic" safe zone. Once you start writing novels and side stories and poo poo you need to stop relying on stupid one-off puns and actually write things.
