I can't get my mind around why I like the FUSCO BROTHERS comic strip since I do not often embrace cruelty as entertaining, but I do here. Some of the gags fall flat but most others are quite funny. Duffy is not a one joke cartoonists, he has maybe five, but he manages to keep surprising through creative variation.

The Fusco brothers and their wolverine Axel again engage in intra-family bickering; Lance and his girlfriend Gloria squabble; and Newark is, well, Newark. Reality is about the farthest thing from Duffy's Newark, unless you count sentimentality.
