SOUTH DAKOTA!!!

It has been a while since I have snarked on the daily comics. I generally rely on someone else to do that. However, a few particular comic strips stood out today.

Mary Worth
I enjoy watching The Golden Girls, even when I should not. And those times come when the "girls" spend their time talking about their "pursuits" with men. And I generally do not feel that uncomfortable when they talk about it, even though part of the joke is that these ladies are all senior citizens and talking about stuff normally only teenagers gab about. So I don't think that this Mary Worth comic makes me uncomfortable because these are older characters talking about love "and stuff." I think it makes me uncomfortable because Mary Worth and her boyfriend Jeff are quite clearly not talking about playing on the Charterstone Condominiums Orchestra.

Slylock Fox for Kids
Meanwhile, this kids comic is completely horrifying in it's own right.

Apartment 3-G
Apartment 3-G, for those who are not familiar, takes place in New York City. Luann, the blonde, is excited because she gets to leave Manhattan to visit very sensitive grasslands in SOUTH DAKOTA!!! And no, Luann would not be joking. She has no "humor" capacity. She is completely, seriously excited about visiting rural wetlands in SOUTH DAKOTA!!! No offense to the SD, but, SOUTH DAKOTA!!! is just not that exciting.
