It is a given that even the most serious newspaper has to include some cartoonish light relief. Is finding such comic content so difficult that the Times of Malta has to give so much space to Eddy Privitera’s interminable, repetitive, maundering hagiographies?
As an antidote, might I suggest increasing The Wizard of Id. The Wizard himself is a lot funnier than Privitera (not difficult) and the Kingdom of Id is much closer to reality than the correspondent’s take on his environment.
Please note, I do not take issue with Privitera’s political (?) views, simply his bad and boring writing.
