Then the punch line of that strip (spoiler alert! It involves that cover) knocked that nonsense right out of me. There is a sadder theme in here in general, as she deals with losing a long term boyfriend and a crappy job, but there&#8217;s still plenty of funny to be found. As always, talking about these things in too much detail has a tendency to make them unfunny, so I&#8217;ll only say that subjects in here include a candy cane turd, advice from Keith Knight, not getting hit on by creeps, being written up in the Onion, a week on the wagon, and embarrassing moments from her past. There&#8217;s one thing about these issues that I have to wonder though: why are some of the strips neat and gorgeous while some of them look like they took her about 15 minutes? Again, as I mentioned in the last review, I&#8217;m not here for the art, and it&#8217;s not like any of the sloppy ones are any less funny because they don&#8217;t look quite as good as some of the others. I just wonder what&#8217;s going on there. $3<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/fartparty62.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Fart Party #6 It took about three panels of this issue for me to briefly wonder if Julia has lost her edge a bit, if she&#8217;d been hanging out with too many comic bigwigs and that she&#8217;d maybe gotten a bit melancholy.
