Lois Lame

If yesterday’s strip made you gag, you better be sure to have a barf bag close at hand before you check out today’s strip.

Batiuk takes Sunday off again, filling the space with another comic book “tribute”. Last month we had Les and Cayla as Superman and Superwoman; today they’re Supe and Lois Lane, on an Action Comics cover from 1955 (spoiler alert: the story ends with Lois awakening to find that her marriage to Superman was only a dream).

But what’s really pukeworthy here is that two minutes into his marriage to Cayla, Les has to bring up his “first wedding” to Lisa. A noted author once said “Endings have to be earned.” You know what else has to be earned? The respect and the good will of your audience, if you expect them to let you get away with “writing” sappy, facile garbage like this.
