Yeah, Wizard of Id and BC used to be pretty dang funny.

Say, Washingtonians, have you seen the horror that is Reply All?  It's like a horrible webcomic, but it's syndicated and looks even worse in print than it does online!  I don't know how this happened.

Oddly enough, the motherfuck*ng Phantom is really good.  It's an action comic, it's drawn well, it's got real story arcs, and it features the motherfuck*ng Phantom, who is awesome.  A story arc's wrapping up, wherein the motherfuck*ng Phantom (who is awesome) has just rescued his wife from being imprisoned after her death was faked, and is now about to go have a chat with Chatu, the guy who did all that.  It's about to get real.

Dick Tracy's just had an artist/writer transplant last week, and at the very least is competently drawn now.

Brewster Rockit: Space Guy is more hit than miss, I think.  It at least manages to be current without trying too hard.

Hear me out on this one - Sally Forth is kind of good now.  Francesco Marculiano has taken over as writer and it has a sneaky unexpectedness to it.

So yeah.  I don't get the newspaper.  I miss what comics were, and what they are isn't worth the time, money, or dead trees to me.

I just looked at this for only the second time since they started it and remembered why I never look at it.

Yeah, it's like one of those desperate old-media attempts to be "with-it" without getting what the web is about. It's not enough for the art to be bad, you know?

Is Cul de Sac syndicated nationally, or is it just a Washington thing.  It's good.

So why does the Post not seem to have it in their comics section? The hell?

It's on page 2 of Style with Doonesbury in the print edition, and in the magazine on Sundays. This is better placement than with the dreck on the comics pages.

I haven't seen a print edition of the post in 10 years so I'll take your word for it. Right now the Post seems to just be showing a Sunday strip from like 2 years ago.

I just subscribe to the Cul de Sac blog.  Once a week or so he'll link to all the previous week's strips, with commentary, and he'll post old "Richard's Poor Almanac" stuff.
