Some rhetorical questions must be asked in a semi-public forum, and this is one of them: is there anyone who really thinks Sally Forth is funny?
Is it just my imagination or is this stale comic strip (about the boring soccer mom and her gadget-happy husband and their annoying daughter) no more than half a step above The Family Circus for sheer belly laughs? Does anyone really give a flying fuck about mom’s office politics, or about daughter’s fascination with this month’s (or more likely LAST month’s) pop culture phenomenon, or about whatever the hell dad does all day?
it’s not that they’re a white suburban middle class family. It’s that they’re a BORING, UNFUNNY white suburban middle class family. I would not go to dinner at their house. I might not even brake if I was about to run into their minivan…
There. It needed to be said, I’ve said it, and now I can move on to Foxtrot. I love Foxtrot…
Thanks for listening…
