We'll note each day which strips has offered up the lamest comic. I guarantee you competition will be brisk.
Bruce Tinsley is fond of taking a dubious premise and spending all week lame-ing it up. This week's "Mallard" premise has been "Al Sharpton is jealous of Don Imus' popular radio show." Or something.
Moving on..."Gaggle," whose creator remains understandably anonymous, is often not a comic as such, but rather a two-second position paper with pretty colors and the worst caricatures ever. And so today we find "Gaggle" taking the unbelievable position that Chris Matthews is some kind of friend of Democrats. All in all, pretty lame, though as you'll see, par for the course.
Whatever its political pretensions, it's often hard to believe that Chris Muir slaves over "Day By Day" for any other reason than that he likes to draw women with big butts. Unlike "Gaggle," he usually at least attempts a joke (set-up, punchline, etc.), a task at which he is woefully inept. I don't know what poll he's talking about, but he seems convinced, lamely, that believing that Gore knows what he's talking about is untenable with believing he isn't an "expert." For example, I'm interested in Muir's thoughts on women's big butts, though I don't believe he has reached the level of "expert." I look forward to charting his progress.
Finally, we turn to "State of the Union." Let's see...There seems to be some sort of "trial" in progress. But wait a second, the jury is made up entirely of donkeys/Democrats. Were Moore to depict this scene honestly to reflect the "state of the union," of course, there would be a donkeys and a bunch of increasingly desperate-looking elephants.
It's close, but I'm going to have to go with Moore as today's lamest. More (and Moore) tomorrow...
