They call them the funny pages, the comics, if you have a newspaper, well who has a newspaper anymore,

but surely you remember these, at least they still have a second life online as comic strips.

I used to remember these as a kid picking up the newspapers and flipping through.

I always liked you know Ziggi, Wizard of Id, those are the good old days, right?

Today on Free For All Friday, I want to talk about three unfunny comic strips.

So these are comic strips that are not funny.

Some of them, maybe by design or it's just it's a premise that is very

thin and well-worn that doesn't work. So that's what I want to talk about today. Think

about your favorite comic strips and it's quite possible maybe one of them will be one of

the three that I want to talk about today. Welcome to Council Trent

podcast. These is free for all Friday Monday Wednesday's we talk

apologetics and theology but on Friday we talk about whatever I want to talk about.

And today we're going to talk about three unfunny comic strips.

If you like these comic strips by the way, don't tar and feather me, don't burn me at the stake.

Humor is somewhat of a subjective thing, right?

You might enjoy these comics.

I don't particularly enjoy them and I found a lot of other people online

who are not fans of them as well. So here's the first one I want to

get into and that would be Marmaduke. Marmaduke is a newspaper comic strip revolving around the Winslow family and their great Dane, their huge dog, Marmadook.

It was drawn by Brad Anderson from June of 1954 to 2015. So what's that 61 years of Marmaduke? All right? And here is what one

review says of the comic and why most people don't find

Marmaduke very funny. Each and every Marmaduke strip boils down to the same joke.
