Ballard Street is a daily one-panel by Jerry Van Amerongen that offers glimpses into the lives of the people that live in a particular suburban neighbourhood. In practice, it reads like a man having a new yorker caption contest with himself and losing.

Still better than Bizarro.

This is very true, though I still wonder who the Evanses expect us to be siding with. If they are aware of how their title character is coming off and it was intentional, then that's fine. They don't have a great history of being able to tell which of their characters are and aren't being utter dicks, though, so it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I don't understand who this boring rear end fight is supposed to entertain.

This joke also works if it just returns to Quill. I am sure that was not intentional because it is actually mildly amusing.

I think they tried to tell two jokes, and failed at both.

The achievement is a bit less impressive when you realize that Wawa is only in six states, so it's not like it was a massive road trip.

They do have great sandwiches, though.

There is a US 202 that goes through some northeast states, but I'm not sure if that classifies as a true "Interstate."

Carillo operates out of the Valley of the Sun, or he used to, so probably AZ 202.

edit: Chandler isn't really parallel but I can imagine scenarios.

Are people mad about the mere mention of S J W in Dilbert? I would be certain that the character was the butt of the joke and meant to look like a complete tool if it weren't for the fact that PHB is interviewing him, and his one character trait is usually "wrong about everything". The dialogue seems pretty against Officer Murphy there. This feels a bit like Dick from the internet or whatever.

The strip is still guilty of being bad for other reasons ie bland, boring, dumb

The dumbest guy in the office is shown "owning" the "SJW" and you think it's a burn on the PHB? Not likely.

No one seems too mad, just disappointed.
