Containment Breach

It's a magical Tuesday. Why is it magical? I don't know, you'll have to find out for yourself.

That didn't make any sense. Oh well. On, to comics!

Ok, I get it, you wanted to do a joke about an old flame. But was having the punchline involve a living, presumably sentient, torch necessary? You couldn't have gotten your point across with any kind of subtly? Or at least more subtle than this? I'm no comic strip writer, but I do expect better than this.

Yeah, that policy of containment really worked well with communism. Oh wait, it didn't. We lost two wars and millions died because of 'containment'. We should have just invaded Russia and taken out all the leaders. That would have been much simpler than all the time and effort we wasted in Korea and Vietnam. More people would have died though, so I guess that would have sucked. But it would have been a lot faster than waiting around for 50 years.



Brenda Starr 9/15/09

As someone that writes things that others read, I understand how hard it is to get your point across sometimes. However, I don't think bolding every other word makes it any easier to understand what you've written. If anything it makes it harder. Think about how it would sound if this was being performed by actors. Would 'met', 'once', and 'wife left' really be stressed? That's only one sentence, you can't stress that many words in a sentence unless somethings about to explode.

Brenda Starr is by far the worst of the bunch in terms of over-bolding. Even Mark Trail knows when and when not to bold. He suffers more from overuse of every punctuation mark except the period. Perhaps the over-bolding is something that Brenda Starr is known for and it just continues as some sort of legacy thing, I don't know or care. I hate soap strips. Except Mary Worth, that one's pretty good.
