Deconstruction

Three on Tuesday:

Blondie under the direction of Dean Young
Candorville by Darrin Bell
The Meaning of Lila by John Forgetta and "L.A. Rose"

I could say that today's Blondie is actually brilliant:


By directly informing the reader that there is no punchline, it forces the reader to consider the whole artificiality of the standard SPP set-up/pause/punch-line rhythm. It's a self-conscious criticism of form.

Or, it's just another lame Mr. Dithers hates Dagwood gag.
