Laugh In

today . . . i discovered Laugh In (or here or here). aparently a very popular show from 1968 - 1973, i actually discovered it through a little blog i like about obscure comic strips. the show evidently spawned a short lived strip, which didnt go over as well as they'd hoped, because the comedy was largely dependent on the timing of the show.

well, i watched the show (thank you YouTube, bringer of all things groovy), but it was so corny. . . and one of the funniest things was to watch the evidence of blatant stereo types, so indicitive of the day - the only black guy i saw espoused the virtues of "grass", the only girl's attention was gotten with a smooth "hey baby" and most of the girls were totally brainless. i think i actually liked the comic strip better! it was, at least, better than 80% of comic strips today, anyways. which leads me to lament: WHERE HAVE YOU GONE BILL WATTERSON!?

so, here's a comic strip, ripped off from that other site. you can go watch the clips yourself.
