In my opinion, "Mallard Fillmore."
Nothing but far-right talking points.

(5,909 posts)I knew this guy who hated that comic strip, and used to draw some pretty obscene shit on it. That was the funniest part of the stupid thing.

(12,132 posts)was glad to see it is hated by others as well. Before I quit reading the comics section of the paper completely it would ruin my day if I accidentally read the Family Circus. Well. ok. not my whole day. But a large part of the next ten minutes.
"Alright - who shit in the microwave?"
"NOT ME"

This is what comes to mind.
There are now some worse ones but as a kind it was most often the one that disappointed me more than any other.

Nothing but thinly-veiled evangelical conservative talking points.

Oh and then there are Mallard Footmore and Prickly City. Stantis draws nothing but playpen C & H and Bruce Tinsley's a drunkard.
Sorry to say, Garfield really IS better without Garfield.

(21,046 posts)Al Capp was a right wing shitbag. He's in the movie of John and Yoko's Bed-In, calling Yoko "Madame Nhu" and insulting her. He was quite racist and sexist. Good riddance.
He once put Joan Baez in his strip calling her "Joanie Phoanie".

(50,580 posts)It appears to me that it is drawn by a liberal pointing out how stupid conservatives are, and the conservative (that obnoxious cat) is SO stupid I can't bear to read it.
