When God Smote Adam

Greetings, readers. Happy Wednesday! Time for some comics review!

Adam@Home

The heavy-lidded seriousness of the worker's face in panel three implies that God really must smite people regularly in this supermarket. Either that, or this man has previously endured God's wrath and now his face is paralyzed.

It looks like Adam is going to be laid out for a couple weeks; he's not going to able to work or help around the house. Wait. He doesn't do those things anyway. So really nothing changes.

The Argyle Sweater

Ah, the sad life of the Pillsbury DoughBoy: nobody wants to send him a message, just an endless series of pokes.

F Minus

Um... okay. This is rather strange even by F Minus standards.

Jump Start

JoJo seems rather young to have completely given up on life. But I guess he has. He is now just a vacant, empty shell of a person with no passions or interests.

Luann

Haha! It's funny because women make men feel inadequate. What a riot!

Monday Free for All......

Matt back after a week in New Orleans where I can barely remember some of what happened (but am sure that my bank and credit card company will be very happy to remind me). Anyways, on with the Monday comics:

Six Chix

Wait, so the waitress is also the dishwasher at this place? And why is the woman at the table just staring at the cover of a book and reading it out loud? And why does the waitress equate success with winning a non-existent Nobel prize? And why am I over-analyzing this comic? Next....

Mary Worth

Wait, what kind of M.C.Escher house does Mary Worth live in. In panel 1, her chair has a back and it is up against a bookshelf. In panel 2, she places her book on the table to her left but all of a sudden the back of her chair is gone and the room opens up to have a couch and the bookshelf disappears. Can't wait to see who her visitors are. Maybe it's the "hippie thieves" from two story lines ago returning her purse.

Crankshaft

Nobody does smugness like Batiuk.

Rhymes with Orange

A little overly complicated and long but I like this one. Anyone who has put together anything from IKEA will instantly get it.

That's all for today. Have a great week!

Blackout Day

Lots of websites are blacking out today to protest SOPA and PIPA. In case you've lived in an internet free hole the past couple days, here's the info on that. Anyway, on to the comics review!

Candorville

R.I.P. Lemont Brown. He was last seen weaving erratically along HW 1, just north of Santa Barbara.

Chuckle Bros

Chuckle Bros actually made me chuckle today. I love that the bald guy is rubbing it in Mr. Six-Pack's face that his shallow emotional fulfillment is so much easier to obtain.

Cleats

That's quite a long explanation just to get to the punchline. Are there really leagues with those rules? Also, why does that kid's dad look like a mobster?

F Minus

ChickenNog would have made more sense for this joke, no?

Moderately Confused

Ug. I'm moderately confused by this comic. Is the second guy supposed to see a donut or something? The thing's made of stone, so I don't see how he could be thinking of food. Perhaps he isn't looking at the wheel at all, but rather sizing up his up his smug inventor friend. "Mmm... transportation make Ogg fat, lazy, and delicious!"

Okay, that's all for today. See you next week! That is, if SOPA and PIPA don't shut us down first.

Cat-Men Don't Bother Me

I apologize for the lateness. I forgot it was Tuesday.

Ventriloquists are Weird

Peter here again, bringing you comics review for Wednesday!

Compu-toon

Is there something I'm not getting here? Or is this just a slice of wild absurdism?

Eek!

Yeah, when your dummy starts talking back to you, probably time to lay off the Red Bull. Also, I'm a bit confused as to why this guy is manically drinking energy drinks alone in his room. Is he prepping for a show the next day? Ventriloquists are an odd sort I guess.

Speaking of ventriloquists...

Brevity

I like the dummy's thought bubble. Though, overall this comic isn't very original. You see the creepy ventriloquist in bad date montages in movies all the time.

Heathcliff

It's a tradeoff... a diet will make a lap less soft, but it should provide more lap space.

Home and Away

That's right, emotional-abusive affairs can be more hurtful than physical ones.

Candorville

No need to call, Lemont—it's just a simple online form you can fill out. Better get on it though, as it'll be a few weeks before you start getting the checks. I don't know if your kid can wait that long.
