I hate the comics that are serious. "Funky Winkerbean" is trying too hard. All the characters have cancer, drink too much, are violent, whatever. I guess the writer is trying to bring out the humor in serious life problems, but I find it distasteful.

I once found an old Andy Capp compilation book from when the strip first started. It was full of domestic abuse! Andy would get drunk and beat Flo, and she would cry, and it'd be funny. 'Sup with THAT???!!!
