Hey, how about Andrew? “Seven-O-Heaven” was a cute little strip, starring two realistic Eurekan deadbeats and some predictable but still cute culture war jokes. Hhhmmm. Andrew said, “You want me to do what?” Take the controversy and suspicion that’s flourishing like blue-green algae between the Arkley-led developers and the conservationists, and hammer on this sore toe combo with some really in-your-face corny jokes. That will teach everyone to have a sense of humor. After all, we’re not laughing at Rob Arkley — just at his ridiculous caricature! This will really warm everyone up.
Next week: A return, perhaps, to thought-provoking journalism?
Happy 2010!

Who would have thought that Kenneth Daer from McMurray and Son’s would gawk at a parody of Rob Arkley?
Have you all no sense of humor at all?
