Losing More Laughs

Last March I lamented the loss of some of my favorite comic strips. The Boondocks, Fox Trot, and Big Top had all come to an end. And now I come to find out that another comic strip that I’ve become attached to in order to fill this comic void ran its last strip this past Saturday. Lucky Cow is no more.

Cartoonist Mark Pett has decided to pursue other ideas in other forms instead of continuing with Lucky Cow. The humorous happenings in a Lucky Cow fast food franchise actually got funnier as the strips kept coming in. With Claire trying to avoid work, Leticia the vegetarian working to sell the burgers, and Neil the loveable idiot, there were many characters to enjoy.

Yet another bit of fun taken from our everyday lives. What’s going to be left on our comic pages? The unfortunately unfunny stalwarts such as B.C., Cathy, or Shoe?
