On Today's Alley Oop - 24 March 2022

 Another typical and preditable Joey Sayers story. Against the usual but very casual warning of Doc Wonmug, Ooola and Oop head off to the future because they want to see Utopia. Except, of course, that it isn't "Utopia" but "Eutopia", Joey's overused and unfunny habit of slighty misspelling a word. (remember the "Crabs" had to be called "Chrabs"?) Why is it Eutopia? Just because. But, as can be expected, this isn't a real Utopia either and Alley and Oop are easily overcome and thrown into an underground that somehow fulfills the wishes of the Eutopians. How this works is never explains because, for Joey, writing is really, really hard work and she needs to focus on useless, throwaway gags. The hallmark of all of Sayers' writing is there is no conflict and no drama; it's just a real yawner. Today an inhabitant of the underground approaches our dizzy duo and asks if they want to escape. Duh!  But have our heroes forgot that they used the magic cube to get there in the first place? Why can't they just escape by using the magic cube again? Why, just because, that's why.
