Strawmen can be good for punchlines if you don't overuse them and make it obvious that you're using a strawman (rather than painting people with a broad brush).

I love how absolutely BONKERS these two are. Also: Donna, I know blinds are an investment, but it's worth it not to hear from the Home Owners' Association every freaking week.
Same characters I’ve always been writing, but this time informed by a sense of urgency and real world desperation. And not so deluded and awful as my previous female lead.
And that's probably part of the reason Naomi didn't get hooked up and go to Vegas to make real money dancing.
And Donna can be kind of a terrible neighbor herself--as will be demonstrated later, she has a complicated relationship with yard maintenance.

Glad you’re enjoying them!
I like that second to last panel.
