WASHINGTON—Bristling with anger as they paged through the news over breakfast, the nation was reportedly furious this weekend that the narratives of the comic strips in their Sunday papers remained wildly unsynchronized with the plots of their Monday through Saturday counterparts. “Goddamnit, just yesterday I was reading contently about how Funky Winkerbean had placed third in a charity fun-run, and now they’ve dropped that thread entirely for some flashy, full-color story that tells me absolutely nothing about what happens next,” said longtime Indianapolis Star subscriber Dale Terry, 68, echoing the sentiments of millions of Americans as he wondered aloud when comic-strip creators would finally be held to account for the completely arbitrary and discontinuous sequencing they inflicted on readers each Sunday. “It’s like the past six days never even happened. And these cartoonists have been doing the same thing—week in and week out—for years. Some of us just want to experience Alley Oop and Gasoline Alley in a properly sequenced chronology, for Christ’s sake! I may just call up the comic-strip syndicates and demand somebody do something about it.” At press time, reports confirmed Terry had forgotten to phone in his demands because he was too busy chuckling at the “Dog Gone Funny” panel in Sunday’s Marmaduke.

The Family Circus tried to bring us together just like Joe Biden. The country just wasn’t ready .

I wish this is what we could go back to fighting about on Twitter.

Everyone has a side story.

I just found out I can suck my own dick!!!

I'll be the person not in on the joke, actually Spider-man continues the storyline, as well as Mary Worth, and Rex Morgan, MD.

'여러분이 하나님을 경외하지 않는 사람들 본다면, 그런 사람은 천국에 들어갈 수 없습니다 If you see somebody who has no Fear of GOD, then such a person cannot enter the Kingdom of GOD. SundayGloriousWord

This used to bug me as a kid reading the comics while my parents read the rest of the paper. It was like the weekdays were the canon prime timeline while Sunday was an alternate timeline

Agreed!

But you get pretty colors

And they have been unsynchronized since 2016. Enough is enough . Who edits that 'mini-page' anyway?

What’s up with that?

i can always count on Garfield to remark on hot political topics like Mondays and Abortion

dots should be connected. otherwise, story will get upside down.

Turns out Garfield fucking hates Sundays too. Particularly the last like, 40 of them.

It's because some newspapers have special sunday's and some don't meaning that nothing important to the plot can happen in a sunday

Didn't realize jfruh wrote for the Onion

Waiting for the one person to go start ranting about this on Facebook thinking its true

Is this a horoscope joke, a comic strip joke, both or just not funny? (I’m going with not funny)

That's why Ziggy was so ahead of it's time, non-linear storytelling.

IKR...

THANK YOU!

ladykateblacket truth

esp in Funky Winkerbean when the sunday strip is just a character sitting alone in a doctor's office whispering 'cancer.'

tbf it's really hard to sync weekday and sunday strips up, bc the sunday strips have to be drawn months in advance. Bill Watterson did it a few times and said it wasn't worth the effort

THERE'S ONLY ABOUT ONE PIT'S WORTH IN MINE

When did you start reporting true stories?

Family Circus is always right on top of things.

Zits had a storyline, you just needed a high IQ to understand it.

I thought those were joke deliberately-bad comic strips but I googled and they’re real and oh god how

THE WORLD AND HIS MISTRESS WERE BUGGED!! URGENT, NOT Q Please, For Trump's sake take the time and retweet when happy. This needs to go viral ASAP. Likes ❤️won't help, retweets PPS: I have no connection with the authors, who risked their lives

Yeah tbh the Newspaper Cinematic Universe is super jumbled and nonsensical at times. I don’t understand why they didn’t just plan this out from the beginning

The pulse of America

Its very upsetting

Nation confused about where found an actual newspaper
