The Comics Curmudgeon rocks! My only complaint about the site is that the comments, which are often as funny as or funnier than the entries, build up so quickly it’s hard to read all of them. Oh, and that it made me start reading Mary Worth with the whole Aldomania thing.

Of course, such a storyline might not involve enough suffering for Batiuk’s taste …

I laughed out loud when I looked at today’s strip. That’s a bizarre one.
