The funny pages bump will net Community tens of new viewers!
I kid; it's cool to see artists in other mediums supporting the show. Maybe now Community will grab the grandma demographic?

Sally Forth is actually one of the better newspaper comics, i think. Not that that means much.

Try Get Fuzzy and Pearls Before Swine.

Pearls Before Swine is the best. No other newspaper comic strip even comes close. Not even Boondocks.

I hate to circlejerk here, but Calvin & Hobbes obligatory reference.

Your comment reminded me of this quote:
“This is the Renault Espace, probably the best of the people carriers. Not that that’s much to shout about. That’s like saying ‘Ooh good I’ve got syphilis, the BEST of the sexually transmitted diseases." - Jeremy Clarkson

I like Frazz and Rose and Zits.

you are right. the characters have distinct personalities and a fairly likable, which goes a long (if uninspiring) way.

Brewster Rockitt is the best.

The only good comics are the ones trying to emulate Gary Larson. Bizarro and such.

It's funny because I feel like everyone on this subreddit has had this happen to them before.

"Oh you looks so sad...oh no..what's happened...DID THEY CANCEL COMMUNITY?"
"No..no..my grandma died."
"Oh thank God."

His mind went years ago.

all he talks about now is six seasons and a movie.
4
I enjoy watching movies. I've seen many movies with airplanes in them. I once had sex Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom.
5
What? It up organically.

I had this exchange with a friend of mine, it went something like:
I: I'm sure they would have called you to let you know if the worst had happened.
She: What, they cancelled Community?
I: (Taken aback) What?
She: Wait, they cancelled Community???
I: No, no, no, it's on hiatus, though. I was talking about if your dog had died.

TIL Sally Forth is still around. I haven't seen it in a newspaper for years.

I haven't seen a newspaper for years.

We sell them where I work, and it's fucking shocking how many people still purchase newspapers. Like, truckers and old people, I understand. Some folks just like the coupons, comics, or puzzles, and that's fine too. But so many people of all ages actually purchase newspapers for news. I don't get it.
1
In New York, they had a rash of people stealing newspapers from the little dispensers. They'd pay the .50c for one paper and take them all so that they could clip coupons. Some people saved about 1000 dollars or more that way.

Haha. Jesus. Did the machines not have a way to counteract this? They couldn't make it dispense one newspaper at a time?

I totally posted this before you did. I guess I need to work on my titles.

Sally Forth is waaaayyy funnier then Family Circus. As in, Sally Forth has jokes in it. With punchlines.

Sally Forth is so old....

Jeffy can't pronounce refrigerator! That's an interesting comment...
ON OUR SOCIETY

Also, everyone confused by Sally Forth being the comic to reference this:
Back in 1999, the creator, Greg Howard, retired and handed the reins over to Francesco Marciuliano. Marciuliano is a writer for The Onion and makes a webcomic called Medium Large, which is largely making fun of syndicated newspaper comics. Since he's not strictly allowed to do what he wants with Sally Forth and has to mostly keep to the spirit of Howard's creation, he still attempts to slip in weird stuff every so often because he thinks it's funny.

They still draw this?

His mind went a long time ago...

I forgot Sally Forth existed. And this one made me chuckle.
1
They pulled this strip from the LA Times... I kinda miss it.
1
Sally Forth and Community. That's an unexpected combination.
1
Sally Forth will always make me think of this.

Wow, this makes me like Sally Forth 700% more.
Yeah, now my liking of Sally Forth has gone from a 0.1/10 to a 0.7/10!
They have gone from being the least hip comic to just being confusingly randomly hip once.
Least hip? Really?

Was there supposed to be funny in there?
wow im pretty impressed!
I stand corrected and impressed. Didn't laugh, but I was surprised.
I think I may read this comic...
Yeah, to be honest, Sally Forth is actually surprisingly good.
I always liked sally forth, and I don't get the hate here. The drawing style is closer to the serious comics, and I think that turns people off.
Jesus fucking himself. Is the hack drawing Sally Forth still going???? God I'm old. I should have faked a law degree and had a COOL life.
Different writer than the original. It's often more about Ted, and the fact that he's more than a little insane.
Don't tell me some newspaper comix page has some kind of history I've missed in the 20 year hiatus in which I've ignored it. Balls.
Sally Forth is old? My newspaper carries Blondie, Dennis the Menace, and Peanuts (in reruns). All of those were created in the 1940s or 1950s.
Barney Google and Snuffy Smith started in 1919 (it was just Barney Google at the time).
It's really quite amazing that that one still exists.
