Getting over it....
Tom Davidson - would you write that Keith Knight needs to "just, you know, get over it already" when he does a strip about race relations? Asshole.
If every comic by Knight were an extended allegory on race relations, sure. (Heck, I'm already getting tired of certain tropes in "Tom the Dancing Dog.") I'd say the same thing about "Boondocks," but for the argument that "Boondocks" is about race relations; it'd be like saying that Jim Davis should just get over his lasagna issues. If Lay has decided that "WayLay" is going to be about how much it hurts to trust men, that's entirely her right -- but as someone who remembers her former versatility, I can't help missing it. I think her catharsis is important to her, but I'd like to see her work through it sooner rather than later.
(In related news, I will never forgive Batiuk for what he's doing in "Funky Winkerbean" right now.)
