Sunday comics do not, and should not, equal the real world. Ever. Under any circumstances.

May I ask why not?

[conuly]

There is a reason they're called the funnies. I ask you, is this funny? Do you find it humorous or amusing?

Sorry, I am culturally unfamiliar with Sunday comics and therefore did not know that they're called "the funnies" or that their sole purpose is humour. That's why I asked.

[conuly]

Okay. We're good, then.

They don't have to be funny, but it's a little depressing to go read your comfort food and find it taken over with war.

I guess so. I'm accustomed to newspaper cartoons being political/satirical which would explain why this 'toon didn't hit me as it did you. But I can now appreciate that it would annoy you.

I should hope I wouldn't mind it in political cartoons, or even a normal newspaper comic that's usually more political than plain humor - but foxtrot tends towards really low-key, innocuous humor. Very jarring.

I don't know, I think it's one of the best Foxtrots in awhile. Very thought provoking.

At least it's better than the usual, "F1rST POST!" war, or "Foxtrot real sucks lately, I'm not going to read it anymore". But yeah, It would be nice if he stuck to funny.
