Every Thursday, the Portland Mercury comes out with its newest issue. The weekly rag bills itself as the anti-Willamette Week (which, incidentally, bills itself as the anti-Oregonian, which, to my knowledge, doesn’t bill itself as anything). All this to say that if your publication is the third filtered layer, more often than not, it’s garbage. Thankfully, there’s the comics page in which Joey Sayers’ thingpart is included. It’s quite possibly one of only two reasons I pick up this mound of trash of a “newspaper” anymore. The other reason is Nicholas Gurewitch’s Perry Bible Fellowship, another amusing comic strip. The rest of the comic strips– like most of the publication– ain’t worth a rat’s ass. And now that I’ve discovered how to keep up on these comic strips online, I never again have to sully my hands by touching that piece of filth called the Mercury.
