Judge Parker was national AFAIK, but I always thought it was a pale ripoff of Mary Worth - and in its early days, the only way to tell JP women apart was by hair color ---

Quoth **anyrose** : > [@](#): > > Judge Parker was national AFAIK, but I always thought it was a pale ripoff of Mary Worth - and in its early days, the only way to tell JP women apart was by hair color I never read any of them, so I can’t judge quality, but I’m just amazed that the voting is as lopsided as it is, out of a relatively small field. EDIT: Even if there are other fans here, most of them probably know that there aren’t very many of them, and so they chose something more mainstream (by SDMB standards) for the points. ---

I thought FBFW already ended? I don’t read the newspaper comics anymore, but I remember hearing about how it was ending a while back. Also, the only reason I thought of Mary Worth was because of this: > **[Shortpacked! - Blog -](https://www.shortpacked.com/2011/comic/book-12/08-this-is-so-babies/justabunchofsentence/)** > > Shortpacked! is a webcomic about people who work in a toy store and tell jokes about Batman. ---
