      Yeah, there’s no redeeming quality to this strip. Matt Melvin is the artist and has a series of C&H strips like this and I think is trying to do over-the-top humor like this one but isn’t really getting it:

      If anyone thinks we should do a different posting order for the old ones (i.e. random from all of C&H instead of sequential), it’d be good to hear feedback here: https://discuss.online/post/17098553

        well, i’m not saying it shouldn’t be posted. these old C&H comics are kind of a time capsule. As long as we aren’t glorifying the mistakes of the past, those mistakes should be put on display ._.

      Unless there was something relevant politically or socially at the time so it would be a reference to that event at that particular time, maybe, which would be lost 20 years later. Otherwise yes, doesn’t make much sense.
