Johnny Carson once mentioned a former writer on his show who kept turning in things that sounded like jokes but weren’t. The example he gave was “it was so cold in New York City today, Mayor Lindsay was wearing buckles on his shoes.”
It often occurs that comments on comic strips appear to be making some well-considered point, but in fact merely state the obvious and have nothing meaningful to add to any discussion.

I once saw a cartoon short (probably made in the 1930s) that was exactly this hilarious.

This is way funnier than some of the wannabe funny comics these days.

From the title, I was expecting a Funky Wnkerbean strip.

Ha ha! The Jungian archtype in the first frame and the Freudian construct in the second. How do you do it?

Remember the comic strip “Henry”?
