Dustin, 5/31/24

Look, I get -- believe me, I get -- that it's hard to mine jokes every single day out of a single premise, and sometimes when you're doing a daily newspaper strip, you need a mechanism by which you can say "OK, this admittedly bad joke I thought up/heard/read in an email forward is my punchline today, idgaf, it'll be funny if I have a stupid person say it." But if you have to have two of these mechanisms, like "Dustin's stupid friend" and "the stupid people who call into Dustin's mom's radio show,” that says something about where you're at and it isn't great.
