There once was a man named Lester,
that wacky comic strip jester!
He wrote jokes in haste,
used copy and paste,
then said, "gently caress it! Let it fester."

For dinner he's enjoying corn, a pile of salt, and a small puddle of motor oil.

He's over for dinner at Mary Worth's house. Beige blobs for everyone!

Except Wilbur. Wilbur is too good for beige blobs.

He gets a white rectangle.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN NANCY EDIT

1.
You find yourself on an internet forum for comic strip nerds. Poster Wanamingo has just made the following post:

Would you like to joke about Sluggo killing himself in a gruesome way, or make a crass comment about these children having sex?

If child suicide seems more appealing to you, go to section 2.
If you would rather discuss adolescent masturbation, go to section 3.

2.

You have died. Please return to section 1.

3.

You are a horrible person. Please re-evaluate your life choices.

Coming Soon to CBS, It's Jockman and Nerdman

one runs a lot and does a leg press
the other stays home playing his NES
it's Jockman and Nerdman

one has difficulties functioning as a social entity
'cause he's 30 and still hung up on his high school identity
and so does the other one
it's Jockmaaan and Nerdmaaan

It's very last scene of The Graduate. All it needs is some Simon and Garfunkel playing over it.

hello dorkness, my old friend
I've come to be with you again
spent some time in Peru that showed
that though I turned into a macho
drank a beer, rode a bus and grew a beard
still I feared
without maternal guidance

Mostly I put the writing in Mary Worth down to Karen Moy just not putting in any effort, since Joe Giella clearly isn't going to, so why bother? But this has got to be intentional. There's no way she actually thinks that she's writing Adam as anything but a creepy stalker, right?

I remember that YOUNG HUNKY WORKAHOLIC LONER that Mary set up with the YOUNG SHY ROMANCE WRITER WITH OVERBEARING MOTHER who sounded exactly the same*, so this is probably exactly how she thinks young men in love should talk to their betrothed.

*"So you write romantic stories? Maybe you'd like to live a romantic story... With me!"

I'd like it if more strips had unnamed ancillary characters in the last panel going "Well said!" "Oh, nicely put!" "What a good joke!".

With the added bonus of maybe reducing Gunther's Oedipal complex.

Not so much reducing as redirecting, but anything's a plus at this point I guess.

This storyline's so odd that I went through the archive to try and figure it out... I think Margo's been cursed?

That person she's talking to is her soon-to-be step-mother, if Margo can get the marriage off the ground in her role as a wedding planner. Diane is... someone who's opposed to that, who is believed to have magic powers. But it's hard to figure out because the Margo's just been stalking the streets of New York yelling at strangers, which I think is her regular deal.

When I was a kid I didn't realize that not all strips had to have punchlines in them, and I just assumed all drama strips had weird jokes I couldn't understand. I've found Apartment 3-G and a lot of other soap strip work very well when you imagine they're just disconnected strips with strange punchlines you just don't get.
