Dogs and Verbage!

I've been remiss (because I've been treating Sundays as "forget we own a computer day") to mention that "Non-Sequitor" has been absolutely brilliant in its story of Basil and the city of Atlantis. You just don't see that kind of whimsy in the funny pages every day. Which is why, I suppose it's only on Sundays.

That strip can be forgiven for its verbosity since it usually has more of a point than a punchline. However, other strips were quite wordy today, including "Hagar The Horrible" and "Luann". Sometimes you don't want to read a book. Sometimes you just want to laugh without accompanying eye-strain.

There was also an odd little 'L'-shaped block of dogs in the pages today - "Beetle Bailey", "Fred Basset" and "Mother Goose and Grimm" were all very much "Dogly."

The customer service tech plotline in "Baldo" (depicting them literally as clowns) has been uproarious, but today's featuring the hispanic clown was a total gem!
