It's Not "Funny, Ha-Ha," It's "Funny, the L.A. Times Is Considering a Comic Strip About Domestic Violence"



The Los Angeles Times is trying out another round of comic strip contenders, as it mulls where to keep or dump "For Better or For Worse." Now that "For Better" artist Lynn Johnston has decided to re-tell her strip back from the beginning, papers like the LAT aren't so sure readers will be interested.

But is this a better replacement? Between Friends, "a contemporary comic strip that celebrates the essence and angst of three forty-something women friends."

A strip that, at least this week, is centering on an abusive husband and his tortured wife, along with the conflicted friend who's in the middle? People, it's called the "funnies."
