5. The Star Tribune
made some changes to the comics page and brought in Mallard Fillmore. It's nothing but Right-Wing inspired cliches.

7. The only thing funny about Mallard Fillmore is that the
rightwingers think it's payback for Doonesbury.

8. Appeals to the RW types.
It's simple enough for them to understand.

Straw Man: I'm so glad I support gay's rights to boil unborn children!
Mallard: Wow, you really are stupid/evil/ignorant/whatever
Straw Man: I know! Tee Hee!

Repeat ad nauseum.

9. the run it next to Doonesbury in my paper...
and one day a year or two ago both strips were addressing the same issue (I forget exactly what, maybe John Kerry or WMD or something) but I was struck by the subtle satirical wit of Doonesbury and the strident, in-your-face, hit-you-over-the-head treatment of Mallard Fillmore.

I swore that day that the 10 seconds a day I spent reading that idiotic strip were too valuable and I have since trained myself to look past it.

Take my word and don't waste your time!

10. Dammit! They didn't actually go and do it?
Good thing I have no subscription to the Strib, or I'd cancel it.
I think I'll actually write them a letter anyways, explaining that I'll never pick up their paper again.

11. Ugh
that is a HORRIBLE strip. I read it in other papers while travelling (usually the Grand Forks Herald). It is so BORNING, with no humor or real point whatsoever.

I give Prickley City more credit for a right wing strip with some humor every now and then.

12. At least they run the Boondocks as well
The Boondocks has to be the funniest comic strip ever, and it bashes Bush harder than anything else in the newspaper.
