The Lockhorns are just a worn out stereotype of men and women from the 1950s. Zorn probably likes Prince Valiant too…
But really, I think I offer a story of hope. Despite all evidence of past strips, I continue to read the Lockhorns, hoping they will finally amuse me. This is in contrast to Cathy or Marmaduke, both of which I gave up on in the 1980s.
