playa hatin' (or, let's get a few things straight)

[rone]

Penny Arcade is not funny.
Dave Barry stopped being funny around the time Reagan left office.
Achewood is not funny.
The Onion was funny until they started repeating themselves sometime around `97.  They'll occasionally have a good zinger, but most of their stuff is telegraphed to hell and back.
Jerk City is not funny.
Sinfest is funny until you realize it's a adolescent ripoff of Bloom County with the main character being two-thirds Milo, one third (Watterson's) Calvin.
Something Positive is not funny.
David Letterman is funny only when compared to Jay Leno.
McSweeney's is not funny.

Where do you stand on Pokey the Penguin?

The only part of Pokey the Penguin that I find at all amusing is the cartoonist's difficulties with the English language, and even that is not very funny.

It's random and it's crap... i dunno. There's just not a lot there to work with.

I don't stand on Pokey. I jump up on down on that fucking penguin's skull, until it's all mooshy. Then I turn on the blender and make a penguin smoothy.
