I’m not disagreeing with your objection to papas trivialization. (I’m not agreeing with it either).
But I do disagree with your description of popas “humor”.
I usually don’t laugh at it either, but I find it very pleasant and enjoyable. Always so clever, in a very sophisticated, subtle, and unique way. Something like “The Far Side” in tone,
but more freely irreverent, often spiced with disguised satire. I love his posts.
(And I’ve noticed a LOT of other posters try to recreate it)
