Duplex again...

The Duplex by Glenn McCoy is pretty much hit-and miss. Sometimes it's funny, a lot of times it's just dumb. Any time a comic strip decides to "break the fourth wall", that's also hit-and-miss. Sometimes it's a good gag and/or commentary on comics, and sometimes it's just a cheap way to avoid writing any actual joke or story. Today's Duplex straddles the fence on all counts. It's not the funniest strip I've read today, but it's not terrible either. If nothing else, McCoy at least deserves kudos for giving it a shot and not falling flat on his face.
