Mostly suburban trauma

Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, 6/15/24

Today's Barney Google and Snuffy Smith punchline isn't bad exactly. It's a perfectly serviceable newspaper comic strip gag. There's no shame in writing it, or in publishing it. But it's not good, either, and it definitely doesn't merit the insanely smug expression Jughaid is aiming at us through the fourth wall in the final panel. Settle down kid, it's just a grape joke. Nobody's gonna remember it tomorrow, but they are going to remember how off-putting you're being.
