# \o/
why are comic strips in papers so painfully unfunny?

# because the poor bastard that draws them
has to come up with six strips a week - and a double length strip on Sunday.

# Calvin & Hobbes
the exception that proves the rule?

# Because they haved to be as generic and uncontroversial
as possible to avoid offending any readers.

Given how easily offended most newspaper readers seem to be, the results were inevitable.

And thus Charlie Brown was born.

I can't think of many exceptions but Calvin and Hobbes is one.

# I think Calvin and Hobbes is the exception
because Bill Watterson knew when to stop. Those cartoons were fucking aces.
