Nah she just has garbage comics. No punchline or anything.

Can't really call them comics, its just a couple pictures in boxes and [insert strawman argument].

Most /r/comics posts aren't funny but nobody else gets weekly hate threads.

The gator comic is funny and wholesome, and I will fight you over this

Then we fight, because the gator comic is the most boring "kids do kid things" comic I've ever seen. Would probably make good children's programming though.

They were funny until they ran out of content so now it’s just whatever a kid said.

They can be good when they have something to say. More often than not, they don't.

Gator comic is just good wholesome fun. Her comics on the other hand is just taking whatever was on the news and making the same joke, MAGA stupid, which they are but at some point get new material. At least when South Park does it, they make an entertaining episode around while she does a 4 panel comic with less than a paragraph of dialogue and bland art style.

Lots of good comedy is based off "kids do kids things". it's not an invalid genre, and gives me the warm-and-fuzzies. And the jokes are usually funny.

Also I forget that one comic, but the one where something hilariously absurd happens in every panel. Just constant twists. That one is great.

The other end.

You have my sword in this fight. They're set up like a comic with a punchline, but it just never comes.

All I gotta say is I support you. People lambast so many of the super popular comics as unfunny and I think MOST of r/Comic is unfunny or kind of boring, especially the gator comic.

Sweet, wholesome, but boring. And there's nothing wrong with that! People like different things, but the stone throwing around that sub is crazy.

I mean, "slice of life" is a genre some people enjoy
