OK, I think it's about time we had another Mallard Fillmore thread.
That piece of crap comic strip is the reason why I don't read the funnies in my local paper. It's unhumourous, nasty and poorly drawn. I wouldn't MIND a right-wing strip if it actually had some FUNNY STUFF and was drawn by a real talented artist. But, come on. MF (which also stands for MotherF**cker) is a piece of CRAP.

Commence discussion of why Mallard Fillmore is a piece of shit neo-con waste of newspaper space.

1. They run it in our local paper right above "Boondocks"
I've thought about writing a letter to the editor to complain (not only is MF nasty and unfunny, it's appallingly ignorant and misleading) but I have a feeling that if they dropped it, we'd also lose Boondocks and/or Doonesbury.

3. They DON'T show The Boondocks in my local paper.
And Doonesbury is relegated to the editorial section. (My paper's the Fargo Forum)

Sad, sad world.

2. I don't understand MF at all
I think Mallrd is there to shut the Cons up about Doonsbury.

4. After Jeff MacNelly died ...
... the conservatives just kind of decided that the humor thing was better left to Libbruls.

Add that to intelligence, charm, manners, literacy, honor and fair-play.

At least Mallard Fillmore quit smoking cigars. There was way too much competition.

5. He's harping on "metrosexuals" now
It is not even remotely humorous. I mean, sometimes I can look at a conservative joke and see how it is humorous, but the last two weeks of MF have been unbelievably awful.

6. If Hannity had a comic strip
That no-talent would do Mallard.

I sometimes think it isn't drawn, but done with rubber stamps.

It has no humor at all.

A waste of ink.

Here it is across from Doonesbury.

7. "I sometimes think it isn't drawn, but done with rubber stamps". LOL!!!
And I WISH they would put Doonesbury in the funnies across MF with Boondocks on top. But, that's just my wish...
