Comic strips that haven't been funny in decades, yet still continue to appear in the newspapers, and probably will do so forever.

Yes! Thank you, that was driving me nuts...

Not to get too off-topic, but much love for "Lulu Eightball"/Emily Flake! I loved her *Maybe my argument will make more sense if I run it through some of these sick effects pedals* comic so much I put it in a frame!
You can still buy "Lulu Eightball Vol. 2" direct from the publisher: https://atomicbooks.com/products/lulu-eightball-volume-2

I loathed "Nancy" back in the day, but it's actually pretty funny now.

Clever but not funny for me. Still a daily read, sometimes a hate-read. Bold move by Jaimes to make Nancy a self-absorbed asshole.

modern Nancy has had some really good strips but a lot of it seems too clever for its own good. I really liked the dadaist vibe of the Bushmiller strips.

one I used to like a lot was Get Fuzzy, it's wordy but generally funny

is that Comics Curmudgeon guy still going? I enjoyed that, not only because the guy really is keeping up with all these endless soap opera comic strips but also because it's kind of a remnant of the way the internet used to be

literally clowning Funky Winkerbean in a post today!

Comics Curmudgeon is still going, yeah. I wouldn't have heard of most of these if not for him! Got to say that Funky Winkerbean is one of the least appealing strips he covers regularly. I'd be sad if Mary Worth folded, I love following his commentary on it.

xp

His commentary is the only reason to have any interest at all in the "Mary Worth," "Judge Parker" and "Gil Thorp" universes.

Bold move by Jaimes to make Nancy a self-absorbed asshole.

She was like this in a lot of Bushmiller's best too!

Absolutely

self-absorbed but not an asshole imo, a big difference in degree then to now

I see her a little bit like Mattie Ross - convinced of her own certitude despite being constantly bamboozled

I wonder if Pete Bagge is a Tumbleweeds fan....

One of Funky Winkerbean's lasting legacies:
