What ever happened to “The Darwin Awards”, where we made fun of people who died from their own stupidity? Now we’re just trying to protect stupid people, and that makes all of us, as a species, dumber.
Oh cripes, let’s not get into a political debate. A drunk George Washington just threatened to kick a couple of guys in their private parts…Can’t we just enjoy that?
I’m surprised Wade isn’t afraid that his floaty is alive and singing. He’s afraid of everything else, but he’s cool with the one thing that would freak most characters out?
Ah, why’d they switch positions between cells 2 and 3? They trade places….Besides, this idea of stupid people into the sun is very much like several of the Pearls Before Swine theories proposed by Rat. There’s the Box O’ Morons, where all stupid people are in a box, or the Isle O’ Stupid People, where all stupid people are pushed off a cliff, only to trampoline onto a deserted Island.
P.S.- There could be a sequel. The Stupid People could be saved by an alien race, who comes to worship them as gods. Then, years later, the stupid people/alien offspring would return to Earth, armed with advanced alien technology…In order to take their revenge on the planet that exiled them…
I have to say, your posts are portraying you as a know-it-all jerk who wishes to flame at a successful cartoonist who was merely making a joke. Other cartoonists make fun of Stephen Pastis, and he has mentioned several times that he is on good terms with some other syndicated cartoonists. Since you are claiming to not be a cartoonist yourself, why do you need to be so aggressively upset at today’s strip. If you don’t like it, pass by or stop reading it, but don’t try to incite a flame war between yourself and other readers over something that really doesn’t affect you anyway. Just grow up and deal (P.S- You claim to be a comedy writer, as a fellow writer, and a lover of comics as well as regular books, I would like to add a quote from one of my favorite authors: “If you hate my books, please feel free to buy as many copies as you would like to burn. There will be a discount if you order in bulk.”)
Reminds me of the Pearls Before Swine strip where one of the crocs decides he wants to look more like a newt, so he goes to the vet and asks to get…“Newtered”
