Kinda miss my old comic strips
Once upon a time, I used to cop the funny pages from whatever newspaper was laying around. Didn't matter if it was the daily or the Sunday. For a boy of 12, it was kinda like a soap opera, but funny, lighthearted, and enjoyable. Get to know the characters and their insecurities, their strengths and their delusions. Eventually I traded it for the front page, until I realzied how spunout and lopsided the writing could be and that I'd have to read two or even three or four papers to get a decent grip on the story. Now I use mobipocket to get the news delivered straight to my phone for free and I can get that, but I don't think they have a cartoon service. Makes me miss my old favorites, like this one that probably had Earl reaching for the best wrinkle cream he could find.
