Again, we see the nagging punchline problem. These guys just don't know what one is. Chris Muir comes in last again today. It's ham-handed, the set-up in the first panel is sloppy, but at least there's an attempt at some sort of internal rhythm. So
Day By Day is today's least lame conservative comic.
State of the Union and
Gaggle, both employing the TV convention, are nearly tied for lameness. It seems pretty lame--and, frankly embrassing--for them to harp on Sandy Berger when the Republicans are going through such a massive ethical crisis on several fronts, but I'm going to give the nod to Union because you can just tell that Carl Moore think he's really put out a zinger--whoa, just look at how flustered Kerry is.
Mallard Fillmore wins. First, because it continues the super-lame "artist talking to his character" routine (again I ask, what is clutching that pencil; are those claws?), and second, because Bruce Tinsley actually manages to turn the strip into a little bout of self-pity. Waaaaah!
