You know what you two need? A little comic strip called, ‘Love Is…’ It’s about two naked eight-year-olds who are married. — Homer, “A Milhouse Divided”
Whoo boy, is this one ever bad. I guess the question is: if you had a currency machine that generated a tidy income, but you had to sit by it eight hours a day mindlessly cranking a wheel, how many years would you do it?
And, let’s say your family don’t like wheels, they like banal comic strips about Ziggy Stardust’s freakish children…
I spent thirty minutes reading these comics this morning, and my sense of sarcasm is pretty much tapped. I think you’ll get the idea without my help. Here are some highlights of the last year’s output. Keep in mind this strip has been running 6 times/week for the last forty years. Ka-ching!





Love(or at least comradeship) is when the owner lets you run a bar tab AND lends you 50 bucks.
Very few of these comics take place at a bar. I checked.
The innocent atmosphere that “Love Is” attempts with its wide-eyed, naked protagonists is more or less burned to ashes by the fact its copyright roundup usually contains more words than the comic’s text.
Well put, Oxford. Love is…a proud subsidiary of the Tribune Co.
