This explains a lot

Two panels from Sunday's Zits :
right-handed writer looks like a claw
It led to a "rather text than write"joke, but I'm still stuck on - no, not his mom's horrible grimace, though that's pretty tacky. It's the fact that in ten years she hasn't noticed that he writes with the entirely typical left-hander's curled up hand. No wonder they don't communicate well!

1. Yeah, but he's writing with his right hand, not his left.

2. I think the problem with trying to write a long-term comic strip about a couple's relationship is that you either do the same jokes over and over and over and ov..... ("The Lockhorns"), or you wind up with these stupid "Oh, c'mon, she'd have noticed that years ago!" situations.

That's why I gave up on the comics pages when I left DC for NY.

Oh... that and the fact that the WaPo had three pages of daily comics, and the NYT has none.

1. True. But she still should have noticed it.

2. C'mon on - you don't read 'em on the web?

I moved from DC to NY in August '88, which pre-dates the web. So I gave up on most cartoons before I had a chance to make the web transition.

I do read xkcd and Dilbert on the web, but that's all. And I've never even heard of "Zits" until now.
