So what else ya got?\u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EIf those are the only examples you have, then I'd say you were never a comics fan to begin with.  I'm inclined to believe that anyway, since holding up \"Calvin\" as an example isn't much of an argument.\u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EMany of the best-respected comic strips from \"the good old days\" weren't laugh-out-loud funny either.  \"Pogo\" and \"Li'l Abner\" were social satire, and were rarely rib-splittingly funny.  And \"Peanuts\", the grand-daddy of them all, was sweetly sentimental.\u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EAs for today's new strips, there's lots out there that are frequently funny (no strip EVER was always funny).  Check out \"Brewster Rockit\", \"The Duplex\", and \"Pearls Before Swine\" and give them a few days.  Many folks love \"Get Fuzzy\", although it's not my cup of tea.  But (and here's the key) just because I don't like it doesn't mean it's not good."},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1462848707564356665\/41927428987218984\/comments\/default\/8420959290135417310"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/1462848707564356665\/41927428987218984\/comments\/default\/8420959290135417310"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/finnfactory.blogspot.com\/2008\/05\/excruciating-demise-of-american-comic.html?showComment=1212422040000#c8420959290135417310","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Anonymous"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/blank.gif"}}],"thr$in-reply-to":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","href":"http:\/\/finnfactory.blogspot.com\/2008\/05\/excruciating-demise-of-american-comic.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462848707564356665.post-41927428987218984","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1462848707564356665/posts/default/41927428987218984","type":"text/html"},"gd$extendedProperty":[{"name":"blogger.itemClass","value":"pid-1179966406"},{"name":"blogger.displayTime","value":"June 2, 2008 at 11:54 AM"}]},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462848707564356665.post-2124395846614701093"},"published":{"$t":"2008-06-02T00:06:00.000-04:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2008-06-02T00:06:00.000-04:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"It's a true, albeit sad statement.
