Comics That Aren't Funny
This is in the same vain as a previous post, but it will focus specifically on comics that aren't funny.
1. Non Sequitur: Apparently, nonsensical liberal rants accompanied by poorly drawn big-headed freaks are just plain hilarious, and when I say hilarous, I mean I'd rather have most of my limbs removed than read it.
2. The Born Loser: Yep, sure is.
3. Dennis The Menace: Oh, that Dennis, always getting into trouble with innocent misunderstandings and a complete lack of comic timing and... well, a sense of humor, period.
4. Baldo: Apparently, the author of Baldo got his knowlege of teen culture from radio broadcasts put out by Dr James Dobson in the early eighties (or possibly pre-revolutionary France).
5. Opus: Is this one even supposed to be funny? I always thought it was more the "not" kind of funny rather than the "real" kind of funny.
6. Jump Start: Apparently, I'm not supposed to claim this isn't a good cartoon. After all, it stars black people. I may get into trouble with the ACLU.
7. Rose Is Rose: Probably the least-funny cartoon ever made. Sometimes, after accidentally reading it, I curl up into a ball and cry, asking God why such a horrible thing must exist in this world.
8. Family Circus: Boy! Golly gee, those kids are so cute! Always asking questions about stuff... So innocent, so angelic, so... wait a minute, it's not funny! It's supposed to be a comic strip, not a "gushy-love-strip."
9. The Lockhorns: I regularly read The Lockhorns out loud to my dog, and she instantly cowers in the corner, shivering from fright in a puddle of her own urine. Seriously, I think they're using it as a torture device in Iraq.
This is officially going to be my last post of the year 2004 because most of the people who read this are in town now anyway. So, to those of you now in the Springs, I'll see you around. For those of you outside Colorado Springs (yeah right), I promise I'll be back January 1st, 2005. See you then!

Hilarious! Thanks for not putting Peanuts, Far Side or Calvin and Hobbes on the list...they're my favs.
Number 9 made me think of Ron White - when he talks about his wife cooking the first meal in their new house, and he can't eat it so he gives it to his dog...and the dog starts licking his butt...good times
How do you feel about Get Fuzzy? Seems like a comic that matches up with your sense of humor...
I hadn't heard that particular White bit, bit it kinda does sound like it...
I love "Get Fuzzy" because it's a comic that's actually funny.
Doonsbury is undoubtedly the worst.
