Sitcom-adjacent jokes
Rex Morgan, M.D., 5/20/25
On Sunday, June got the mail, and told her sons that the family had gotten a wedding invite, and they were like "You get free cake at a wedding! That's the reward for sitting through the boring parts!" Then yesterday and today, she also told Rex about the invite, and he gave the exact same response. This would've been a perfectly serviceable bit if it had played out over a minute or so in a sitcom, but it works significantly less well in a continuity strip, where it takes three days and at the end you have to remind people what happened over the previous two days, in case they never read those strips, or just forgot about them.
