How long can certain letter writers write the same letter about the strips being about the same topic?
It's the letters that are the same, monotonous message, not the strip.
The strip has a theme, like virtually all strips do, and I think it's remarkably fresh the angles he finds.
Name a strip, and I'll show you how it's the 'same note', repetitive.
Not every strip is for everyone's taste. The fact is, much of America is still falling for the things the strip dissects, and I see value to continue doing just that. I don't know how I'd come up with as many ways to say something on this topic, and think this is one of the best strips around.
Not only that, but it's pretty unique among strips for its technique. Doonesbury is good with the metaphor and sarcasm, Boondocks with the acidic commentary, this strip has its own style of illustrating a type of thinking which is common but rarely directly identified and put into the spotlight, which so helpfully exposes it.
Lay off the same repetitive letters every week. We get your point. You like the strip or you don't.
Let those of us who do enjoy it peacefully for a change.
