You Won't Like It When He's Angry

Cartoonists need to remember that a lot text turns people off to reading your strip. Today's Big Nate showcases this rule perfectly.

I don't think copyright or trademark laws extend beyond Earth's atmosphere. While I get the joke, why is the Martian there? Is the strip claiming the planet Mars is a trademarked name or does this Martian have a company on Mars named Mars? Mars is the name Earth gave the planet. If there are aliens on Mars, I'm sure they call it something else.

Why is the Hulk, a Marvel character, having lunch with three DC characters? Lamest. Crossover. Ever.

Don't listen to him, Ziggy. I hate escalators too. The escalator is a dangerous piece of machinery and it deserves our respect.

Years ago, I worked for the Federal Student Aid people opening mail, mainly the FAFSA and SAR forms. Sometimes we got misdirected mail that we just put in a mail tub and sent it back into the mail stream. We ran the mail through a mail slitter so everything was easier to remove from the envelope and it was a pretty good job. One day, as I was going through my big stack of mail, I got a piece of misdirected mail with $300 in it. In CASH!!
I debated on what to do for about a minute before I put the money back in the envelope, taped the slit shut and put it in my misdirected mail pile. It was tempting and I was positive no one would ever know but it's not like the $300 would actually help out with anything. I figured karma would eventually pay me back--I'm still waiting.

Wow. This strip sure takes a long time just for a premature ejaculation joke.

Rhymes with Orange: It's possible that the Hulk is not actually having lunch with the three DC characters who do seem to be together. They might just have noticed that he was headed toward the same diner.
What occurs to me, though, is that the Hulk must already have become very, very angry over something else--otherwise, he'd be Bruce Banner and wearing a shirt and shoes. Oh, well, I guess he's about to be even angrier than he already was.
Nate's supposed to be about 12, right? That's a pretty good essay for a kid that age. At least you know he wrote the thing himself instead of just copying the Wikipedia article on Jefferson word for word.
I'll stick to Virus Comix for my walls o' text.
