It’s not about liking (or not liking) “normal kids”. It’s that this story line is NOT entertaining. I wouldn’t pay to read about my son’s childhood, and I wouldn’t pay to read this either.
Beth works at some swanky resort where Gil gets his (almost) annual coaching award. He sees her just once a year, yet they’re both smitten (in an unrequited sort of way).
Why do all the characters in this strip — even Coach Gil to some extent — look so much alike? It is hard most days to know who is who. Maybe have them wear prominent name tags, please? The “story lines” (and I use that term lightly) sure don’t help us any with the identifications, as they jump around randomly.
I really don’t like the “edgy” artwork. Combined with Henry’s well-meaning-but-weak story-telling, it makes this once-glorious strip a sad mess.
