Philosophical Friday: Ugliness

WuMo, 2014-06-11.
God, this comic is hideous. Not in a Reply All kind of way where it's just pure ineptitude, this looks like it's meant to be ugly. And I mean every single WuMo strip. Reply All can get away with looking like arse because it's actually funny, but the example above is as close as WuMo ever gets.

And it is close, it's almost good enough to be one of the less funny F-Minus strips. Of course, in F-Minus there wouldn't be a caption telling you it was a blood bank, that would be conveyed through, I don't know, putting the Red Cross logo on there or something. I'm pretty sure Tony Carrillo could draw a recognisable mosquito too, so the entire label would be unnecessary. And the manager would have one of those F-Minus grumpy faces. That's how you do this joke.

Even then though, WuMo would still be hideous.

How is that even an easier shot? And does every cartoonist play golf?



Finally, here's a selection of Office Hours panels, a comic from the 1960s.
