The Private War of Beetle Bailey
I've long given up on expecting newspaper comics to make me laugh, but I don't really expect them to make me cry, either:
Although I can't really think of a more exquisite hell than eternal life on the comics page, condemned to repeat bland, nonspecific jokes until the last newspaper subscriber dies of old age. Cheer up, Beetle. It can't be too much longer now.
I'm sorry this post is so bleak. I don't know what happened.
To change the mood: what's the least funny comic strip in the paper these days? It doesn't have to be from your local paper; just give an example of the worst newspaper comic you've ever seen. I'm working on a post with all of mine, since there are too many to name here. I'll just say that strangely enough, Mary Worth isn't as bad as you'd think, while Spider-Man is far, far worse.
