Friday, May 29, 1998: Amway

[NonsenseWords]

Oh that Amway am I right?

I'm curious as to what they're all waiting for, myself...

[Feefers]

What's Amway?

That rabbit looks snazzy

[Segovia]

That Raccoon in the back looks like an older version of Timulthy.

Meh. The problem is that is requires the reader to know what Amway is. There are several & strips with varations of this gag and none of them ever made any sense to me. Was DCS regulary harrassed by them at some point? I dunno. I just can't find this strip funny or interesting.

Panel two is mega cute, though!

Well, they could have said they were Jehovah's Witnesses, but that would have only caused genuine offense.

[NonsenseWords]

I think it was just 'in' to make fun of Amway; I've heard more about them via stand-up comedians and daily comics than I ever have in real life. It's like making the 'fun size' joke, or the 'Washington overreacts to stuff' joke, or the 'no shirt, no shoes' joke, or any of the 'stock' jokes. You hear them so much they become abstracted.

This was one of the strips that confused me at the time since I didn't know what Amway was. I just assumed it was some orginisation notorious for collecting donations and this was a joke about people not being inclined to donate if they can get away with it.

[Cactus Jack]

I think Amway sells things door to door.

[Arloest]

Look at Ozy in this strip.

Picture Ozy doing something like this in the later strips.

[osprey]

This is a cute strip.

my first thought.


This was the strip that introduced me to amway... once I learned what it was I thought DCS's amway strips were pretty funny.
