If you don’t get it, one of the beliefs of the pseudo-science of homeopathy is that tiny amounts of supposedly medicinal materials are more effective than larger. The more watered down the “medicine” is, the better and more expensive.
it’s too bad they can’t retire the "legacy’ “zombie” comics, where the cartoonist is actually dead! Make room for new talent.For instance, “Dennis the Menace” isn’t still running, dear God, I hope . . .
@pschearer – yep – and if you work out the math of homepathics, it means that 1 does in 10 actually contains a single molecule of the original stuff. Where as some cartoons may have put forth 10 puns to get laughs, but unfortunately no pun in ten did.,,
It’s not necessary for a comic to be funny……It’s the irony that gets one thinking. The original cartoons (18th century) were all about poilitical comment with much p**s taking. For the thinking person today humour is not essential; something has to click – and there it is…..a sucessful strip. Pab would not be seen here if he had nothing to offer.
Sit-coms give it to you on a plate – satire gives one food for thought.
I always liked Mutts. Half a comic is its jokes, the other half is how well it’s drawn. Mutts is very good, and Calvin and Hobbes I just love. This one is wierd, but it’s very funny.

It’s also known as “Pandering to the elderly,” and it’s practiced well by Mutts, Cul-de-Sac, Baldo, and others.

Yes, a brilliant line.

Diffrent folks, diffrent strokes. I like Dennis. Vicki is not funny today.

I thought the right wing fundamentalists were trying to outlaw Homeopathic Comedy as a violation of their vision of Marriage.

@Big_Tex“Dennis the Menace” was very funny – even edgy – in it’s prime. I loved it.But that was half a century ago. Let it rest.

Did you hear about the man who forgot to take his homeopathic medicine? He died of an overdose.
