5. You think that's bad, what about Mallard Fillmore?!?
That cartoonist thinks it's the height of humor to call someone a bad name.

7. Yeah - but my paper runs Mallard Fillmore bt Doonesbury & Boondocks
I have to avert my eyes lest I ruin the start of my day wondering how anyone could mistake that for humor.

9. RW's attempting humor is like someone trying to kill a fly with a cruise
missile. They have absolutely no grasp of subtlety.

10. I think that's it
They think that to be funny, you have to hit the audience hard between the eyes right after telegraphing that it's coming.

That second panel is a dead giveaway of what's to come.

15. RW cartoonists
couldn't locate a joke if they tunneled through the vaults of Bob Hope and Milton Berle side by side.

They think wit was a beautiful Commie skater in the 80s.

Everything Bruce Tinsley scribbles winds up looking like a foot puppet.

Morans.

17. you know who's a rw dick? that hack who draws 'nancy'
he goes on hannity all the time whining about aaron mcgruder, who, unlike him is an original creator and not some hack with a hand-me-down strip

and hannity, of course, pretends he "loves nancy" just because the guys a wingnut.

what a liar-no one, not even freepers, likes nancy

19. The original "Nancy," drawn by Ernie Bushmiller, was brilliant.
It was the quintessential comic strip, a beautiful clean look and a one-gag format; adult minds in the characters of children. After Bushmiller's death it was passed around to a couple of different hacks, but of course it was never the same.
