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

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.

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.
