And not funny. Unless you find someone just breaking a rule funny.
FDOTM (yes, we need the T to be ridiculous) has a layer of self mockery that really adds to it. He draws himself as a bloke (dog?marsupial?) staring at a screen in a constant state of outrage.
Which reminds me of what Brian Dawe said about John Clark's humour...that it came from a state of outrage. We think of him as Australian but he was from NZ. He was so quick, clever and good. He died bush walking up Mt Abrupt, which would have amused him.
Here is an old one.......
