Meanwhile, at the Slum of Art...
My father always says, "The easiest thing in the world is to be a cynic." I guess that's why I started this blog. I saw how many people seemed to criticize this strip, failing to appreciate how amazingly difficult it must be to tell a story two panels a day (seven on Sundays). Then when my local paper, the Washington Post, stopped printing it, I knew something had to be done. I think of this blog as my own version of the Santa Royale Museum of Art, a place to preserve a great masterpiece, epic in its scope, infinitesimal in its execution, so that it may be preserved and celebrated, if not in this generation, perhaps in my grandchildren's.
I'm happy to see the "new" Dawn is so much more optimistic than the old one. Whereas she now says we live in a cruel world, she no longer feels it's brutal.
ReplyDelete"People tend to criticize what they don't understand." I admit it. That pretty much sums up my response to Mary Worth.

ReplyDeleteI could've told you, Dawn, that
ReplyDeleteThe world will merely yawn at
Those as pitiful as you
Everyone lives, or lived, in modern times.
ReplyDeleteWho's playing the part of Halan in today's panel? I can't quite place the face. wait...could it be Edward James Olmos from his Miami Vice days?
ReplyDeleteComing next, maybe: Harlan will "speak of the pompitous of love."
ReplyDeleteHarlan is such hoot! What a fun guy to spend time with. I'm sure romance is just around the corner for Dawn and him.
ReplyDeleteI apologize. My previous comment may have been a bit over the line of good taste. I'll rein it in.
