The ubiquity of uninteresting and unfunny comic strips

I feel like I’m seeing these more than ever before and they’re mindblowingly popular, with ridiculous adoration in their comments.

Am I right that this is a thing more than before, or have my recommendations been ruined by @The_Respected_User’s posts to the GTPOSM thread?

There’s probably more of them in a sense, but also it’s just that back in the day the only way you’d come across them would be in a newspaper. Those kinda three/four panel punchline comic strips have always been 95% garbage.

That makes sense, I guess the part that I find most surprising is not that they exist, but how liked they were. Back in the newspaper days they got to create that shit without critique.

Maybe you just don’t have a sense of humour

Every other post on my facebook feed seems to be these kind of things. Always look at them though.

They’re so fantastic to me

I can’t function without my daily Doonsebury!

There’s no user generated content on Facebook these days, so if I log in there my wall is full of this crap. Don’t really see em anywhere else though.

Probably you’re hovering over them while getting annoyed by them, and so the great algorithm in the sky keeps feeding them to you.
