Newspaper Comics

Is it just me or does anybody else find newspaper comics or cartoons annoying and tedious, yet we feel compelled to read them? You’ve already guessed the punch line in the first frame but you read on to the end anyway… and you were right…you predicted it. And you force a wan smile…Hmmm that was cute…well, not really…kind of stupid actually… and a little boring…Move on… next one… even worse….Oh well, can’t get that time back.
The one possible exception is when you were 7 years old, and you got some Silly Putty and flattened it against the comic to get the mirror image imprinted on the putty… and let’s face it, even as cool as this was, the thrill only lasted so long …After you do it once or twice, it really loses its allure…And who thought of this Silly Putty and who told us to do that with it??? Oh and Why does Silly Putty come in an egg? Really…Really?
