The Cartoonist’s Infinite Sadness
Stephan Pastis brings the pain like a bullet.
If you don’t know what this means, you must have been born after 1979, you 33-and-under zeroes.

I was born way before 1978. And I don’t get it! Help me!
Oh, Wanderer?
That user name is gone. Who knows where he “wandered” off to this time. If you ask me, he didn’t add much to the mix, anyway.
He’ll be happier wherever he is now.
Go ask Wanderer. I hear he knows some things about sadness.
I’ve got better things to do than “wander” around looking for that numbskull. Am I my user name’s keeper?
Anyway, if a person has a blog I guess they should try have the same name as their blog.
Now, according to my new protocol, I don’t understand anything unless I watch a Youtube.
(Well what’s wrong with that? It’s just like Khan Academy, just applied to every other area of life.)
Mellon. Collie. (Slaps forehead.)
It took me a while.
I was born in 1972, and I either don’t get this or I just don’t find it funny. Is it that they are blaming him for making them sad, or that they are complaining about how they are drawn, or what?

I dropped a couple easter eggs in my post. Also, by amazing awesome stunning coincidence, most people born in 1979 are 33.
Well no wonder I didn’t get it. I never could stand that band!
I liked “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” before I realized how whiny it was. Most of the rest of their stuff is akin to piss in the beer that is alternative music.
I love SP but I still didn’t get this. 1981 here.

I’m not a fan, really, but this strip gave me a chance to do some awful wordplay.
lol
You know, it would have helped if the melons didn’t look like coconuts.
I said the same thing to my last date. Ba-dump!
UUuwwwww.
You should stop dating transvestites.
Sorry. I might be hard to “unsee” that one.
You’re lucky I’m not a vicious guy, because that is the greatest setup for a “your mom” joke ever. But I’m far too classy to sink that low, of course.
Love it! Smashing Pumpkins are the only band I ever got truly obsessed with. I still have all their albums in my rotation. I think I’ve bought Mellon Collie at least 6 times from wearing it out. But I refuse to acknowledge the current iteration under that name.
I liked “Bullet… With Butterfly Wings” before it got played to death, and a couple other songs here and there, like “Ava Adore.”. In the 90s I was more into Nirvana, NIN, and Alice In Chains.
