Today's Off the Mark was relatively funny, although that's not a very high honor when discussing comics. The problem is that it uses the wrong word--it should have been echolocation instead of sonar. It's true that what bats do is the same thing as sonar, but it's not called that with animals. Fortunately, the comic effect remains intact, but there's always that "if only" feeling.
Today's The Born Loser features the dog Kewpie (who knows how to pronounce that?), a frequent character in the strip. It appears the artist(s) has(ve) only actually drawn Kewpie once, and just continue to paste the same drawing whenever they need to--Kewpie only has one position and one facial expression. Why bother doing anything different if it might distract from the joke, right? And why bother using different jokes if you already have a few good ones? That seems to be Art and Chip's paradigm.
