never heard of it before. it's a diss (kinda).

p.s. obviously a writer who knows his work (check the title of the cartoon).

What the hell is that comic even insinuating?

That's what I figured. Normally that stuff doesn't piss me off, but to quote a famous recently deceased pop star: "That's ignorant!"

That's not any worse than what most people post on here.

Prince was over a million times better than Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson was a pop star; Prince was an ARTIST.

I don't take offense with the shot at Prince, but I do take offense that the writer was ignorant enough to make a statement like that. All bias aside, it shows that he isn't a fan of music in general to say such a thing. Even non-fans can't deny P is a legend.

Maybe this cartoonist joined Lotusflow3r.

well, I like it and think it's funny.

Why? Maybe becuz Prince has really made me depressed, he used to be brilliant 1978 to 1995 - maybe the best, but is he still? when you think of the albums post 1995...?

The beauty of it is that P will do a world tour in the next couple years and all the naysayers disappear once again. All the crap d'your, the latest dud of the moment fades away...and Prince will still be standing, selling out arenas, blowing away his audiences, making a new album better than the last. That's my Prince.

To be fair, I went back and read other Gorilla Brigade strips (are they still called that?). I understand the point of it is to be edgy and harsh, and to some extent it works. No argument on the one about Jimmy Fallon. But it seems to me that the writer was too busy trying to think of a random jab instead of one that was funny or much less made sense. Just a thought.

That's pretty funny.

I don't know about this one. It's definately a "open to interpretation" skit. I can see how it can be funny and offensive at the same time.

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.

You got to love it.

Right on brother!!

what I didn't understand about the comic was why the illustrator/writer (whoever) named it "No More Prince 4 u", an obvious reference to No More Candy 4 U. So he knows Prince's work,at least his most recent and who can listen to that song and not like it? Or maybe he went to Amazon.com and looked up Prince's latest song titles and just picked a random one to show that the strip is current?

Or maybe he does like Prince and is/was frustrated by Prince's lack of musical whatever over the past decade or so. Face it, every Prince album (even lotus and mplsound) over the past decade has duds in there. Planet Earth, I can't get past the second half. 3121, there are really cheesy songs on there.

I also went back and re-read the Gorilla Brigade strips and I liked them. And the more I read the P one, I kinda like it now too. It's all in jest, I suppose.
