Sometimes the simplest ideas are funniest...

George and Lynne is one of the most unfunny cartoon strips in the history of British newspapers, rivalled only for the crown of most unfunny by the woeful Fred Basset, a tremendously boring strip about a dog with some kind of canine learning difficulty.

However, while George and Lynne itself may be unfunny, analysing it with the utmost seriousness turns out to be comedy gold.
