This comic strip is one of the laziest around. Look at the secretary in the first five panels. Nothing more than a cut and paste job. And then there are the inane ones with guy who tells unfunny, obtuse jokes which are used whenever they can’t come with an idea. This strip can’t hold a candle to Pearls Before Swine.
Parrots would’ve made a better pun.
