This strip runs in my local newspaper and is unfunny to the point that I sometimes have trouble figuring out what the joke is. And yet, I still find myself digging through the archives because it’s so bad I can’t stop reading.
Just thought I’d share~
Some of these are reminiscent of The Far Side on one of Gary Larson’s less-funny days. Others are complete non-sequiturs. I mean, many of them have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that animals are saying them.
You werent exaggerating at all. This should go into that thread about " Types of humor i do not get".
Oh, I’m not sure it’s humour at all.
That is indeed unfunny.
Meh.
More in the style of Family Circus -a relentlessly unfunny strip with incredulous staying power.
And this one rates at least a half-chuckle.
YMMV.
I must disagree with the OP here. Many of them don’t really have a joke. But some of them are somewhat funny in an interesting kind of way. There is definitely worse out there.
And you should know! 
I think it suffers from the same problem as the ??? Movie movies - the creator mistakes recognition for amusement.
I found a couple of them sort of amusing. The kangaroo mom holding a birthday party in her pouch and the St Bernard being charged corkage for his flask made me smile.
…well, I’m at least half certain.
So what *is *the punchline in the OP cartoon?
Which one? The cartoon shown by the OP’s link is random.
Oddly enough, Cartoon #1 is pretty good, but then it’s all downhill from there.
I wonder if that was his first one? Then someone read it, thought it was funny, and gave an off-the-cuff “Heh…you should be a cartoonist” – a suggestion which should’ve been highly ignored.
I’m of the opinion that Kathy is the most unfunny comic strip ever. The comic minlokwat linked to is pretty funny if you ask me.
Hehe. If you read lot of them (don’t ask), you notice that at least every 5th strip involves one of these 3 things:
The strip seems a bit juvenile but not any worse than most that are out there now. By that I mean it sucks but doesn’t stand out in its suckitude when compared to its peers.
Here are 5 successive strips that have them all. 
I guess your paper doesn’t have “Fred Basset”,then. :dubious:
This is what I was going to post. I don’t think “Fred Basset” even intends to be funny, frankly*. Which would make sense if it were a soap opera strip like Mary Worth or Apt. 3-G or Rex Morgan, but it’s not.
*Thus distinguishing it from strips like Mallard Fillmore, which are consistently unfunny, but which Tinsley obviously imagines are knee-slappingly hilarious. I don’t know if you have to be a drunk driver to think that or not…we don’t have a control group outside of Tinsley.
