    I think it’s beautiful. I believe it’s the original author’s son who kind of inherited the brand and still collects a paycheck so now he’s gone really abstract and avant-garde with these theme weeks and weird anti-joke panels.

      It’s a symbol of how broken print media is that once you have a position there are no quality checks, no competition, or consequences.

      These comics aren’t avant-garde they’re just meaningless, he’s not pushing any envelope or frontier it’s just lazy unfunny junk because that’s what all the cartoons have become.
