I'm glad *somebody* has stated this point finally! It's clear from the thread that people have slightly varying opinions about what constitutes a crutched character comic strip or not, but it's all in the ballpark. And as much as I think avians are usually fun designs, I really get tired of seeing those same three Fillmore poses all the time. ;P
The sunday comics in general are vastly unfulfilling, and I wrote 'em off some years ago. I am also drawn to enjoyable visuals (thus lured by those crutch characters now and then), but after a many many attempts to glean something of value from even a tempting strip, I just lose interest and move along, too.
Besides, there's so much good online comic stuff, I hardly have time to drop a $1 on a newspaper fulla wasted space. Unless I need the coupons. :>
good point, sir!
