A combination of what the other user said, and also yes the recurring characters started to grow on me. Mouse, Turtle, and Bird in particular :)

Also, to the users who downvoted your comment, I don’t see any reason for the downvotes? ayyy@sh.itjust.works’s comment looks like a genuine good faith question asking why some people enjoy this strip, and valid reasons for why others might not see the appeal. Even then there’s no reason we all need to enjoy the same comic strips
