For three days in early November, the comic strip Zits decided to parody the comic strip love is… . Now, to my way of thinking, Zits isn’t that funny, and love is… has never been funny, but maybe a blend of the two would make the sum greater than its parts.
It’s called heterosis, or “hybrid vigor” in genetics and plant and animal breeding.
Heterosis apparently does not exist in the comics world, although at least one newspaper in Illinois refused to run the second and third “love isn’t…” strips after getting complaints about the first one. (That’s pretty funny!)
Anyway, maybe a Zits x love is… cross just wasn’t the right mix. I hope Gregor Mendel would be pleased with this:
