And The Lord Said "Let There Be Comic Strips"

Wednesday is upon us. Let us rejoice at the halfway mark of the current week. I think you'll be rejoicing once you read these funny comments about some terrible comic strips.


Arlo & Janis 7/8/09

And I want a TV made of silver that plays every movie ever made for free. But guess what? It just ain't gonna happen. Especially since you're a such a pussy.



Girls & Sports 7/8/09

Which one is Church? Baseball (I assume that they're at a baseball game. Anything else wouldn't make sense. Except soccer, but nobody in America watches soccer) or the girl? If he's comparing his girlfriend to the state, he needs to reevaluate his life or get a girlfriend with some personality.



Herb and Jamaal 7/8/09

Just look at that loving look shared between two lovers in panel 2. In panel 3 they realized they were staring and got embarrassed. In panel 4 the short one got mad for some reason and the tall one is worried that his feelings won't be returned by his lover.

Another Number Ending In Two Zeros

Welcome to Tuesday. Today is special. Do you know why? Because it's another milestone! This is the 400th post of the Daily Comics Review.

While it isn't incredibly impressive, it is remarkable considering all the problems of late. Several writers are MIA and a few others are out of comission due to life concerns.

But there is hope! Later this week a very special contributer will be joining me. You might have heard of him, or at least his own comic blog. That's right, non other than Mike P of Meekrat Entertainment (AKA The Amazing Spider-Blog) will be taking a few days to keep me from insanity.

Enjoy the supersized comics review.



Graffiti 7/7/09

Somebody please kill me now. I don't care how you do it, just be quick about it.



F Minus 7/7/09

How did that guy get a clipper on the plane? Did he smuggle it in inside his ass? That's a lot to go through just to clip your toenails on a plane.

Also, is the joke about how annoying the guy is or is it about how scary nail clippers are or is it about how ridiculous it is that you can't bring nail clippers on planes?


Cow & Boy 7/7/09

I see what Boy is talking about, but I think he could have gotten a better mashup of Twitter, Myspace, and Facebook. Something like MyFaceTer. Or Twpacebook. Those are harder to understand, but are more creative than Tweet-Face-Space.

One day we will all be Twpacebooking.



Andy Capp 7/7/09

I realize this is an old, old strip, but is it really necessary to keep the headscarf on all the time? She's in a jogging suit for christ's sake. And wouldn't the scarf just get in the way of trying to jog? Unless you had it tied extremely tight, I'm pretty sure it would fly off. Unless you jog really, really slowly.



Home and Away 7/7/09

Why can't you show a female a magazine that sells female undergarments? I realize that it is a young female, but there is no reason to keep a VS catalog away from her. She's going to start learning about way worse things than bras and panties pretty soon, if she hasn't already. Why didn't they just make it a young male? Then it would make sense.



Dick Tracy 7/7/09

Yes, thank you Dick. You saved my business that exploits the poor and stupid from someone else that was exploiting the poor and stupid. Now all the money is MINE!!!!



Loose Parts 7/7/09

This just seems mean. You shouldn't make fun of someone that can never leave the house to defend themselves.

Also, what would the awards even be for? Most weight gained?



Frog Applause 7/7/09

I know, I know, I'm getting repetitive. But this is another case of not being creative enought with your madeup names. Why spell out all of catapult, but not spell all of spork or spoon? Sporfoonapult would be much better.

Also, if it's a catapult, why do you stab with it? It should be launching things.

Can You Feel The Hate Tonight?

What is up my fellow people? Had a good weekend I hope, of course how could it not be great? You were treated to my rambling on Saturday along with beer and explosions. That makes for a good day in my book.

Here's a few comics to soften your hangover.


Yenny 7/6/09

There really isn't anything to make fun of here, I just though you might enjoy some more cartoon skin.



Non Sequitur 7/6/09

You mean Hell? Usually when I hear the phrase 'special place' I think about vaginas and penises. Usually 'special place' is used in child abuse cases. Usually when you mean Hell, you just say it. There's no need to pussyfoot around the word Hell when you have an entire ass on display.



Frog Applause 7/6/09

Remember last week when I gave some respect to Frog Applause? No? You mean you don't read each and every post? Well that's why I gave you a link. Go read, it will only take a second.


Back? Okay, on with the post.

Back then I said I no longer felt the urge to kill when I read Frog Applause. Well, this strip has renewed that fire inside me. I'm not sure if the overuse of 'working' is supposed to be humorous, but it isn't. The punchline is a well worn one and hasn't been funny since the early 1960's. If the art was better maybe I could let it slide, but it looks like something even I could draw.


I really need to stop reading Frog Applause.



Dog Eat Doug 7/6/09

Now here's a punchline I can get behind. But not too close. Shit jokes will always amuse me, partly because I have a child-like mind and partly because it takes creativity to get them into a newspaper comic strip.

Saturday is for T&A

Well, comic strip T&A. Also, my views on super-powered women and polical pundits! Are you excited yet?



Prickly City 7/1/09

Keith Olberman is the leftist equivalent to Bill O'Reilly. I'm sorry if you didn't know that, but it's true. He does make more sense than Bill-O, as KO refers to him, but for the most part he spews the same garbage, just from a different view point.

If you want a newsman that really tells it like it is, you want Rush Limbaugh. He's my only source of reliable information in this age where the government has taken over all media.*



Yenny 7/1/09

There is no comic, that isn't actual porn, that brings more skin than Yenny. It seems the only real point the strip has is to show as much T&A as possible without actually showing any T&A. If there were more comics that had this much skin maybe the comic page would make a comeback.

(Get it? Comeback? Hehehehe)



Flight Deck 7/2/09

Why does the sperm have eyes and a mouth, but not the egg? Wouldn't it make sense to give them both human characteriztics instead of just the male part? Is this another case of sexism? Probably not since it's a lame joke about a movie that not many people remember outside of one scene.



Ink Pen 7/3/09

What's this? More sexism? Will it never end?

Wait. How did she destroy that old-timey computer? It goes from perfectly fine to smashed and we don't get to see how it gets that way? WTF? I bet that a super-fast guy came and obliterated it, as we all know that a female could never have destroyed it all by herself. Not even a super-powered one with the strength of ten men.

Wait. That makes no sense. Are my views toward sex and destruction out of line? Is my whole world view wrong?! NOOO!!


Tune in next week when something else exciting will happen.







*Not really, I hate that guy. Stephen Colbert is the only pundit that commands me.**



**Again, not really. I have no moral compass and have no reservations about cutting off your leg if it makes me smile.***



***Hmm. I guess that really does make me like Rush Limbaugh. Damn.
