She was positively glowing, when she left them for her other appointment- which was probably to meet with some friends that are considering adopting a baby, so she could tell them that the kid was homely, unintelligent, and would probably grow up to be a serial killer- but it was really noble of them to Maude Findlaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370484496614447605.post-76214001912215022942010-10-28T10:05:48.997-04:002010-10-28T10:05:48.997-04:00There has been a lot of criticism over the years a...There has been a lot of criticism over the years about the art work in this strip, most of it deserved. There were a few glimpses of genius when Scott Hewlett was attacked by the drug mafia, but this is about it. If you want to see a strip with great art work, but with a goofy, but very intellectual and somewhat disconnected text, read Zippy the Pinhead by Bill Griffith.
