Alley Oop built the pyramids - Now we know, On today's strip - 16 April 2020
Sorry, Giorgio and the ancient astronaut theorists. Alley Oop built the pyramids, not ancient aliens. Now we know. We already knew Alley Oop built the Sphinx, however, by simply throwing a big rock on the sand (as we saw on March 27, 2020's strip).
With everything in this "story" apparently "wrapped up", I guess this is the end of these insipidly inane installments; with no explanations whatsoever to the innumerable questions that anyone with a brain would ask, some of which I had listed in the previous days.
And about today's installment, as you can all see for yourselves, is so irrefutably inane that it's incomparably infuriating. Here's why :
-
This is so loudly ludicrous that I don't even need to lambaste it. But anyways, here it goes :
- Alley says he build the whole pyramid himself, but some guy is taking all the credit -- As if the pyramids of Giza or anywhere else that matter, were just built in a couple of hours, even though this pyramid that Alley says he built appears to be about the height of a three-storeyed building.
- Just for how long these goofs have been there? It doesn't look like they've been there for more than a day or two. We know Alley Oop is supposed to be a big strong guy, but is he now a magician too? How on god's green earth did he build that so fast single-handedly?
- Why'd he build these pyramids? For time-pass? To store cheese? He was getting bored sitting around doing nothing in his own goddarned comic while Wonmug and Ooola get all the spotlight? Why do I get the feeling that the current writer lamentably loathes the Alley Oop character?
- What was point of Ooola and the Ancient Egyptian Princess's lame lookalike sub-plot? That just worked as a couple of weeks of filler while the writer thinks of the next silly gag for the next week's installments.
- Finally, what was the point of this asinine ancient aliens arc itself? There was no real adventure, no real conflicts (no, that nonsensical lookalike princess sub-plot didn't have any either. Just one day of pulling a cage over her parents and then nothing else about it is not a valid conflict), no good jokes even. This whole silly sitcomic itself just appears like one big bombastic filler nowadays.
That's all for today, folks. Leave your thoughts, comments, and lambastes below.
