BTW, I'm enjoying the twitter subscription thing. Seperate tab where I only get content from people I subscribe to, in this case it's only Adam's so far, but I'm liking how it work. Seems like a good way to get daily content like this. |

Not to me anyway. It's the same as the other one you described where Wally was in jail and has a Bing AI lawyer. Is it important to know why Wally was in jail to get the punch line or isn't there a punch line at all. I'm starting out with a preconceived notion that Adams is just exploiting an existing extreme right bias in his new subscriber base. Which is necessary to enjoy the comic now that it has forgone a well crafted twist. Maybe there is a twist, I don't know. Two of my favourite cartoons were a FarSide single panel where a farmer was entering a turkey pen with an axe. The text read "Now whooo's it gonna be". And amongst the turkeys was one with a longer neck and a worried look. The joke being that either Turkeys understand English, what the axe is for or that it was Thanksgiving soon. And that particular Turkey knew it had a long neck and stood out. It is just the typical FarSide absurdity. Another one which has always stayed with me as a classic was a BC comic tri-panel where BC (the titular caveman) was sitting on a boulder at sunrise with a snail on the left side. Middle panel was noon with the snail in center. Third panel was sunset with the snail on the right. It has taken a whole day for the snail to travel a short distance. BC says "What a waste, a whole day to go from there to there. The joke being that he hasn't actually moved from the boulder. Farside and BC were always noted for their absurdist observations which were universally able to be appreciated. Dilbert focused on Corporate and cubical life for its absurd observations. But what does Dilbert do now behind the subscription wall? |

I'm not going to rip off his strip and post it here. --- Quote ---Farside and BC were always noted for their absurdist observations which were universally able to be appreciated.
