...I just didn't want it.
I think WayLay has officially moved from "Weekly comics I'll check if I'm bored" to the realm of "Comics I actively pass over". Yup, we're talking about the same realm as Garfield, For Better For Worse, and Luann here.
I used to appreciate the little smile "Story Minute" would bring, including those clever ironic snake-biting-its-own-tail bits, but WayLay has descended over the last two years. Unlike Keith Knight and Tom Tomorrow, Carol Lay seems to be moving a more abstract direction, and though I can respect it, I don't really care to read it. It certainly doesn't entertain me at all.
Maybe Salon should consider one of the other excellent semiregular webcomics around.
