Another offered-without-comment moment.

From an column entitled “Comic strips should mirror everyday life”:

I guess my problem is that I want comics to be more believable. If this were real life, Beetle Bailey wouldn’t always have a hat over his eyes. And Dagwood Bumstead wouldn’t dash out of the house and run into the mailman. After smacking into Mr. Beasley at the front door hundreds of times over the years, wouldn’t you think Dagwood would wise up?
