Can someone (ANYONE) explain the appeal of Nancy? The BoingBoingers seem to think it’s sweetly Beckettian, but that’s just projecting meaning where there is none. It’s not even Tolstoian; there are no holy idiots in Nancy, just idiots.
BoingBoing can be extremely amusing, yet it also has a tendency to disappear up its own arse sometimes. That said, BB *did* have some recent posts about the gaping maw of suckitude that is Marmaduke, so perhaps they *do* have *some* judgement. Oh, and look for the half-suit to show up in an Adam cartoon shortly.
Now if we could only get rid of Dolly, Jeffy, Billy, and Our Grandpa Who Art in Heaven…
“The universe is fundamentally absurd.” I love that line. Great cartoon, and far more realistic than the original.
Exactly. “Please set me free. You make me hate myself.” The mantra of every Cathy reader unable to break free…
Huge improvement over the original. ;)
Agreed. Cathy is the Nancy of the Nineties.

Have you seen the HP Lovecraft/Family Circle mashup? Pure comedy gold and a vast improvement on the original.

Can you ever bash Cathy enough? I think not!
