"a good thing"? It was a mid joke in the first place, and the comic strip long ago forgot how the joke even works. The dude who makes it is shady about his abortion beliefs. Maybe it was too much of a mediocre thing?

I miss the days when every minor celebrity in the world didn't broadcast their political and social opinions

I don't understand the comics.

It's the same joke. Explain a simple or basic situation, but with more words.

I love the show, it's great!

The first episode was pretty good. I feel like a lot of people forget how many shows took some time to get into their groove.

Wasn't this the premise behind The Coneheads?
