Still No Kitty
Not much time to post tonight, but I did promise Kitty updates:
No Hillary, she left because you people negelcted her!!! And what secrets might Kitty tell, hmmmm? This intrigues me as much as anything else in this storyline. Will Sally Forth turn in to a "talking pet" comic ala Garfield, Mutts, and Peanuts??? Is this a way to easing us into thinking of Kitty as the main character? Starting next week, Kitty tells us the Forths' deepest secrets. Really? What are they? Ted and Sally are into S&M?
There's a rumor afoot (well, only on this blog as far as I know) that perhaps Kitty is off having kittens. As pointed out, that means we won't have Kitty's corpse as an upcoming frame, but does not negate the Forths' absolute lack of responsibility. In fact, I will go so far as to say it ADDS to their irresponsibility. They didn't get her fixed? Well, okay, I guess. But she never goes past the patio. When did she get knocked up? Did she and Tom Cat just do it right there? Entirely possible, but where were the Forths when all this was going on?
Remember this terrible "street slang" from Gil Thorpe?
Well, I gotta believe that Aaron McGruder is seeing straight through that:
HA HA HA! Take that Gil Thorpe, brah! Gil is sudsy, yo! Peace out, and don't be a playa hata!

Yo, that cracka Gil couldn't even do a push-up, bra! He's pretty whack, and it really ain't no wonder, bra! That kid straight up needs some real training, bra!
...Okay, I'm done.
Hey, isn't Ted a stay-at-home dad? I thought he was, and if so, there is absolutely NO excuse for their neglect of Kitty. Does he just sit around waiting for Sally to come home and completely ignore the cat? I mean, it's not like he has any friends (at least not any that we've seen), so he has nowhere to go. If Kitty is dying a horrible death, Ted should notice.
Maybe I could understand Sally forgetting about the cat, since she has a job. Not that it would excuse her, but at least she has some other responsibility to worry about and isn't home all the time.
But Hilary is probably on summer vacation, and Ted's home all day long!
Wait...Ted's a stay-at-home dad? I had no idea Sally Forth was so progressive.
If Ted's a stay-at-home dad what is he doing all day that he doesn't notice the cat's not eating? Or, you know, around. My dad's retired and he can report on every move our cats make throughout the day. He has poor eyesight, poor hearing, and multiple sclerosis and still manages to keep track of two cats. So, what's Ted's excuse? Is he just an idiot?
As for the Boondocks strip, I think it's directed at several other comics. In For Better Or For Worse there's a Jamaican kid named Duncan who uses made up slang, like "gig" and "roadside". As in, "That Becky's such a gig. She's roadside, man."
Today's Blondie was dumber than usual. How much money did Dagwood put into the machine?
I always thought Ted and Sally were a dual-career couple. But, true, we never see Ted at work, or hear anything about his work, so maybe that was just an assumption on my part. And, you know what happens when you assume? You make an ASS out of U and ME! HA HA HA HA HA! (Cribbing Ziggies ain't just for the comics).
Yeah, I do think the Macgruder strip was poking at all the comics in general, it's just that Gil Thorpe has very recently had the most egregious examples. Yo, rap-dogs?
Oooh. That Blondie WAS bad? Maybe I'll post on that when the Kitty Saga ends.
