    It's sweet yes. Mr. Smith looks a lot like my shrink used to, what made me laugh despite all the tragic contents. Oh well.

          I think that must be the least funny comic strip I have ever read...

          and totally innacurate, I mean... as if Morrissey (Or, whoever the chuff he was trying to be) would ever wear those trainers. I mean, c'mon! What do you take us for?

          No, in short, utter crap.

          Yeah, this goofy thing has been circulating for a bit. I remember seeing it before. I'm also thinking the person who is responsible for it may be of Hispanic origin, as the last page said "pagina nueva" on it. I never took Spanish lessons, only French, so someone might have to verify this. :)
          It's not the funniest thing I've ever read, but I've seen worse. And who was that guy, by the way? Steve from Blue's Clues?

            This comic was so Not funny.First of all it wasn`t accurate at all as Swallow On My Neck has already said.Morrissey was an model athlete in track during his school days.And second of all it`s morbid to write a comic about someone killing themselves and making it out to be funny yuck!!!!!!

              Viz comic, from whence the comic strip came is a daft English publication full of school boy humour (I love it by the way).
              Stop, taking it so seriously, if you don't find it funny, fair enough but honestly there's no need to delve so deep. Who gives a fiddlers fart what trainers Morrissey would or wouldn't wear?
              If anyone is interested in obtaining the original Viz comic it's quite difficult but the same comic strip is reproduced in a compilation book 'The Big Pink Stiff One' Viz C***c. (Throbbing with the cream of issues 19 to 25)

              it's 1990 so it's probably out of print, wow doesn't time fly.

              Hey, don't take it too seriously - it's vaguely inspired in Morrissey, rather than his accurate biography, of course. Neither it is meant to mock his fans of course - I see that as almost some graffiti lost in some internet wall, saying much and little at the same time.

                The dearth of bare skin on Morris Smith's fathers face and words such as "poofter" could easily give anyone issues or motivation to do everything in their power, not to be such a hirsute, macho man.

                  It's probably just as well that nobody on this site ever read the article in Viz titled 'At Last! It's Official! Morrissey is a Twat!', which put forward the scientific 'proof' found by an academic. It basically amounted to the 'professor' saying 'Jesus! I mean, look at those lyrics. The man is obviously an arsehole...and anyone who disagrees is a wanker'.

                      the actor did catch Morrissey's presence though,
                      but people should stop the kill yourself jokes, Because his music is more about dealing with the cruelities of life and living with it.
                      Morrissey's music is for the survivors not the dead.
