It's got meter. It rhymes. It has cohesion. Opus roolz!

But in fairness, the best cartoonist/poet ever was Walt Kelly and his comic strip, Pogo. I have about two dozen Pogo books in my library, all of them out of print. Here's a sample of Pogo Prose...

Gamboling on the gumbo
With the gambits all in gear,
I daffed upon a dilly
Who would be my dolly dear.

Oh, Dilly, I would dally
If you'd be but truly true.
How silly, I must sally
Off to do my duly do.

And BTW, there has never been anyone better than Walt Kelly when it comes to a beautifully-drawn strip. If you ever chance upon a Pogo book, snatch it up as fast as you can.
