Maybe David Rees' promise to self-cancel Get Your War On when Bush left office wasn't such a good idea. His new comic is here, and it is amazingly unfunny.

that comic's been running longer than get your war on, and yes, it's never been funny.

So was Get Your War On.

My new filing/fighting technique is unstoppable is old. And was never funny. Honestly, GYWO wasn't usually that fun, but the few gems in it made up for a lot.

What? You people are crazy. My new filing technique is unstoppable is sometimes dumb, but 88% hilarious.

"DAMN! It's just files!"

Brilliant.

mnftiu has some moments of sublime genius, as did GYWO.

The Stranger's comics have always sucked, and the sucking continues. Despite the hipster art and themes, these comcs are no better than Haggar the Horrible.

Ha ha, the crow drank too much and shot the monkey again, ha ha ha. Boy that never get's old!

How about publishing some comics that don't suck, such as This Modern World and Basic Instructions.

Has anyone seen "Garfield minus Garfield"? You should check it out... pretty damn funny

mnftiu (hence the url) has been around since at least 2000 or so. And it was only ever funny in a very surreal way.

Maybe it's because he is an Obama cultist and doesn't want to admit Obama is a slave of Zionism just like Bush. Maybe he doesn't want to have to address stuff like how Obama ordered a bombing in Afghanistan that killed 18 civilians the other week...

stuff like that.
