100 Words: Which newspaper comic strips do you like and why?
I love newspaper comic strips. My
tastes have changed over the years along with the strips featured. Pearls
Before Swine, Dilbert, and Speed Bump all offer wise philosophical commentary
disguised as silliness, of course. In a recent strip, Dilbert says, “I can’t
tell the difference between good ideas and bad ones. There are smart people on
both sides of every idea. What rational process do you use to determine who is
right?” To which cynical lay about Wally replies, “I label the people who disagree
with me ‘idiots’ and call it a day.” Who doesn’t do that? Guilty as charged.
