That’s hardly the worst timing. I couldn’t even figure out what was wrong about it without looking at the Comics Kingdom web site. Lars isn’t even American.
No, unfortunately I think this Zits comic would have to win the worst timing for a comic strip ever. It ran in the Kenosha News on the same day the front page featured a story abo a local man who had just been tragically killed in a wood chipper while working his job with a tree service. The stuff cartoonists’ nightmares are made of. Absolutely no way the creators could have planned for that coincidence.
