Doesn’t seem like much of an objective review. More of a rave from a fan.

I’m so happy for you, did you wet your panties too? Where’s the review?

Who else thinks Jason’s comment is sexist, raise your hand?

This reviewer is basing his good feelings about the new-runs on his knowledge of the strip’s entire history. How does FBOFW’s simplistic view of family life [based on customs, habits and mores of over 20 years ago] go over now with new readers? Just wondering. I don’t qualify to judge that, either.

I think Jason’s comment is also insulting to transvestites.

I was so exited when FBOFW finally ended, and so horrified when it rose from the grave. It is kind of fun seeing Lynne try to get back at her cheating ex-husband by making the dad even more of a buffoon this time around though.
