Today schnookiemuffin asked me why I don’t read Dilbert anymore. My stock answer was, “It’s just too painful.” I decided that this doesn’t make a lot of sense so I managed to come up with a clearer reason today:
From earlier conversation:
I can’t read Dilbert because it just plain isn’t funny anymore. Too real. I go to comics to see outrageous things that are funny because they can’t happen. Not outrageous because they do…
Does anyone else get this? I mean I have no problem with UserFriendly (which I’m about 3 months behind on) or Helen or GPF (The latter 2 of which I really haven’t read in years)
Just more random short comments for the day
That makes perfect sense to me. Reading Dilbert, I wince more often than I laugh.
