This "comic" really pissed me off...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

I call the WP at least once a week to bitch about this ridiculous addition to the comics section.
Dammit, when I read funnies, it's because I want to laugh not get angry! :grr:

[MrCoffee]

1. That made me laugh. Sorry.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

3. I guess you like this one too?

[MrCoffee]

6. That's pretty funny too.

[Richard Steele]

7. Now that's a much better example of why to dislike that comic.

I can laugh at humor that pokes Dems...if it's funny.

That isn't.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. I'm sorry, but I'm laughing.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. Like this one?

Grey hair isn't just for seniors, y'know.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. No. That one is not cool.

Hey, I found another couple grey hairs yesterday. It's kind of starting of freak me out. Thank God I dye my hair anyway.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. I used to dye my hair.

I don't have much gray...In fact, you have to look pretty hard to find it.

I decided to stop the pretense. I yam what I yam.

[Roon]

16. I found a grey hair in my moustache a couple of months ago

I plucked it and haven't gotten another one since.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. Mr GoG's been grey since he was in his early 30s.

When we first started dating, I made a comment like, "I'm glad you don't use that Grecian Formula crap."
The next day, we went out again, and I noticed a bottle in his trash can...

[Roon]

32. LOL

I wouldn't mind being grey now, I turn 39 in a couple of months.

[Blue_Tires]

39. don't worry

i've been going grey since my mid-20s--now i just shave my head bald and be done with it!

[Avalux]

23. That one ISN'Tfunny.

OK - I've decided I don't like this strip at all, even if I initially thought the one in your OP was funny.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

36. If you don't see a huge difference between the two strips,

your head is in the sand.

One strip can be funny and have absolutely no impact on another strip, even by the same author.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

44. I guess I just don't watch enough crap TV...

I don't find the first one any funnier than the second.

[Richard Steele]

5. Doonesbury did a similar strip 20 years ago...

About how the "boomers" pretty much define social norms.

The last panel was:
" So how will we know when it's finally over?"
"TIME will run a piece on the hot new Funeral Parlors"

I laughed at that one also. Sorry.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. Maybe it's because he's such a rabid thug.

Doonesbury may not always make me laugh; but Trudeau never makes me want to puke.

[Richard Steele]

13. Yes, I saw the one you posted above. It's not funny, just mean.

Of course, 'demeaning' is the same as 'funny' in the Rabid Repub mind.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. There was also one where he compared abortion to murdering a 12 year old

Sorry...Try as I might to see the humor in today's, I just don't.

He sounds like a spoiled ass brat and I wish the hungry crocs in Pearls Before Swine would eat the little girl for Thanksgiving dinner.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. As a Gen X-er, I'm laughing.

Sortry!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. That's only fair, as I laugh at the whole Gen X concept.

:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. And I offer my meta-laugh at your laughter!

meta-:P

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. Googol meta-laugh

:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. googolplex meta-laugh

:P

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. googolplex to the infinityplex power meta-laugh

:toast:

[4morewars]

30. That was a nice volley guys !

:applause:

I enjoyed that, it was kinda like a reading orgasm.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

48. Was it good for you?

:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. googolplex to the infinityplex power plus infinity meta-laugh

:youbeenpunkedsmiley:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

49. ...

:smoke:

[Avalux]

10. Don't yell at me - I think it's hilarious.

When I saw Dennis Hopper doing a money commercial and somehow tying flower power into it I was revulsed. It's great as a parody of that and similar commercials (WAY too many of them).

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. I guess I missed the commercial

I tend to tune those out...

[skygazer]

12. Actually, that's rather funny

Sure is a big step above Mallard Fillmore which is never, ever funny. And it's got Prince Valiant and Rex Morgan beat all to hell.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. I'd rather read Rex Morgan

Hell, I'd rather read Nancy.

[tigereye]

25. hmmm

I haven't seen too many Xer cartoons that make fun of boomers to that extent. Most cartoons seem to be pretty progressive or left leaning. That just seems kind of mean-spirited. I think it's been done better.


If you want a great (x-er or younger) laugh, assuming you haven't seen it, this cartoonist always makes me howl... he makes fun of everyone.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. Those are good...

Thanks for the link! :toast:

[tigereye]

33. as an old punk, I find them funny

but they strike a satiric chord about every day life as well; except for the zombies.... ;)

:hi:

[Suich]

28. That comic pisses me off on a regular basis.

I've sent about 10 e-mails to the Seattle Times about it but, alas, it's still there!

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. ..like a rust stain.

sigh

[Montauk6]

34. Sorry but I only get freaked out by Chicks

[anarch]

40. now that shit is just hilarious

:rofl:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

35. It's funny because it's true.

The whole "70 is the new 40" thing has gotten old. We're not buying it.

[cwydro]

41. well I don't know about 70 being the new 40

but 70 sure isn't what it used to be...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

45. I'm glad you aren't...I haven't heard anyone make the ridiculous claim

except for those who gripe about a "Me" generation in a tone that implies they're better.

And grey has been considered sexy by some long before "Baby Boomer" became a catch phrase.

[xchrom]

37. damn right i'm self absorbed.

it's the only life i've got -- i'd better be absorbed by it.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

46. I think most human beings are self-absorbed...

Interesting that this thread received far more response than this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5718271&mesg_id=5718271

I didn't even need to tweak...

[cwydro]

38. made me laugh too...

:rofl:

[anarch]

42. meh...I prefer this comic:

[grace0418]

43. I fucking hate that comic. It's hideously drawn and it's so stupidly RW.

The one you have in your OP is actually the funniest one I've seen (it's a very low bar). Most don't even make sense. The rest sound like a Bill O'Reilly attempt at humor.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

47. O'Lielly probably coaches him.
