“Gag” Strip Seems Particularly Appropriate

Posted by Dorian in vintage

This is a classic example of the tendency of Golden Age gag strips to spoil the entire joke in the name of the strip.

    I like it. It’s not spoiled if you realize the lady was the true focus of the strip. She’s completely oblivious to his double entendres (even the cash register remark) until the last panel when she spontaneously develops telepathy, and then can barely choke back her vomit. They should have made her a superhero and ran with it.

    The first panel, by itself (OK, with the title) is actually funny. Then it gets run into the ground. Then it gets mulched and used as fertilizer to grow gag-trees which are then mulched and run into the ground.
