Hm, there definitely have been a number of cartoons that feel a little forced (like a copycat of the comic, rather than the comic). But in my experience, that always feels like the case because when you get one a day, the "meh" ones stand out, but when going through the archives when you first start reading, you skip past them.
And it's really hard to keep a continuous stream of perfect ideas, I'd generally rather someone kept trying, as sometimes every cartoon can't hit everyone, and the one you love the most other people didn't like so much.
So I was ready to defend it. But to be fair, I jumped back 200 in the archives, and every cartoon for a week was great, so maybe it has lost something. (It feels like some comics are more forced, whereas before, he'd put out a single idea in a pic and four words, and if people didn't like it, tough. But that's just a guess, I may well be wrong.) But I think is still far from jumping the shark. (Which, despite the parabola, is not the peak, but the point where it's officially over :))
