The Weekly Comics Review?

God damn I am lame, sorry, I'm trying to prove myself at work.

Diesel Sweeties 11/21/08

There need to be more foods, placed inside other foods, then again inserted in a larger food and cooked. Mish-mashed and smashed combined food names For The Win. Pumpertato is the best I have heard about since the Macatacahodo 360.

F- Minus Collection


Say hello to Gary Larson for the year 2008.


Get Fuzzy 11/17/08

This scene just begs to be animated, but who the hell could you get to do Bucky's voice with any credibility? Maybe that Gilbert Gottfried guy.


Least I Could Do 11/17/08

I was just thinking to myself "Man it has been a really long time since there were any completely inappropriate and misogynistic jokes in LICD and therefor reposted on my blog." Thanks for reading my mind Ryan Sohmer, and have a great wedding/Honeymoon!


Bob The Squirrel 11/21/08

This maybe be the only time you will ever see a squirrel with half his body inside a little girl's mouth. It's kind of one of those things you can't unsee, but it isn't that gross compared to the other "wonders of the internet".


Cow and Boy 11/17/08

I got really excited when this strip came out Monday, thinking it meant we would be seeing the results of Boy's lack of.... intelligence, for the rest of the week. Alas it was not to be, and we can only hope the creator decides to return to this potentially great storyline some time in the future.


Crock 11/17/08

Is this really appropriate for the comics page? You pass a kidney stone by peeing it out, and those things can be very jagged. And two pounds? The idea of something like that coming out of me through a spot like that..... ::shudder::, not the ha ha ha you'd think they were going for.


Judge Parker 11/20/08

Ok everybody get this: Sam Driver is taking a taxi! Get it? Driver - taking a taxi, god I kill myself.


Zits 11/18/08

Yes a bad comic but it remind me of a funny story. I had these buddies in college who took highlighters and wrote stuff ALL OVER their dorm room walls. When highlighter dries it is very hard to make out on off-white walls so they never got in any trouble and it's not like the college took great care of the place so they never painted the walls. They drew pentagrams and scary devil things along with awful song lyrics and other drug-induced rantings. Imagine moving in to a room as a freshman and you think you're all cool with your blacklight and you turn it on one night and discover all the horrible things on your walls that have been hiding there all along.


Alley Oop 11/18/08

Gravity in Oop's land is roughly 1/4 that of earth's so having conversations while in a free fall is a pretty normal occurrence. God the Bender's are some lazy ass cartoonists.

The Comics Suck

Either that or I broke my funny bone. Sorry for no updates, I promise on Friday to do a ultra-mega mega post of the week to sum up all of the glorious web comics and print comics of the world.

Palbot and Mr. Kim come to America!

The great secret about me is that I pretty much never say no to free stuff. If you want your comic or graphic novel reviewed, send me something and I will feel a supernatural obligation to review it on my site. I promise to do my best to check it out in a timely manner.

Palbot and Mr. Kim come to America

"'Palbot and Mr. Kim come to America' is the first comic series to teach multi-cultural education. The imaginative graphic novel will also launch an online animated series produced by Smorgasbord Productions, and will have a toy line. The series follows the adventures of Mr. Kim, a Korean business man, and his guide Palbot (a protocol and language robot). As the two head to America, Palbot guides Mr. Kim step by step on proper business etiquette in corporate America. The underlying themes revolve around understanding American etiquette and language. "


If you are a Korean business man who is working with Americans or traveling to the USA, first let me apologize for our horribly manners, pushy ways, and unnecessarily complicated language. Second, go buy this instructional comic book. Jinsoo Terry (check her website out if you've never heard of her) is a multicultural expert, motivation speaker, and comic book author, among other things. This is her first comic book in a new series and even though I am out of the target demographic it was still very entertaining.


The presentation of the advice throughout the book is gentle and easy to understand. I could not find any glaring stereotypes or spots where there wasn't enough information. I WANT A PALBOT. Jinsoo, if you are reading this, Palbot actions figures or plushies would make great Christmas presents, for ME.


The art style reminds me of cel shading. There could be more color variety; there are a lot of oranges, browns and reds, but the clean white review pages between the sections help break up the same tones. Palbot is a hilarious character and an invisible robot friend would be immensely helpful. Humanity of course would never use invisible robot technology is such a beneficial way; heck I can think of roughly 23 horrible things I would love to have an invisible robot to do for me.


If there is anything you can take away from the Palbot comic book, it's that if you have read about it on the Daily Comics Review, normal Americans will be horrified if you bring it up for discussion. I can't suggest another english business cultural explanation graphic novel more highly than Palbot and Mr. Kim come to America.

Additional Comics Review For You

It's been awhile since I've posted here as I've been busy with my own site (www.tauycreek.com) but I'm gonna try to post at least once a week but we'll see how that goes.

9 Chickweed Lane 11/15/08

Why is the competition filming secretly outside the hotel rooms?  I call invasion of privacy on that.

Momma 11/15/08

I don't know what would be more embarrassing:  still being under your mother's control at that age, letting each passer-by know you still recieve an allowance or that Mell Lazarus is still putting out this horrible comic after 38 years.

Family Circus 11/15/08

Has what in forward, reverse or park?  Billy does realize that worms don't have gear shifts right?  They are too small and are not cars.

Apartment 3G 11/15/08

Oh boy!  Everybody knows people with neckerchiefs are AWESOME!!

Mallard Fillmore 11/15/08

I used to work customer service and Mallard is an idiot.

Luann 11/15/08

All right, it's time for this storyline to end.  I'm tired of all this calendar fawning.  It's growing old and my head is about to explode from all the innuendo.

Marvin 11/15/08

"Ming-Ming, please don't talk to me while I'm changing your diaper.  It's kind of disturbing."

Pluggers 11/15/08

Well, from reading the last few years of Pluggers, pluggers would like more money, better cars, better jobs, well-behaved pets, loving wives, smart kids and healthy bodies.

Working on the Weekend for Nothin'

I don't work on the blog on the weekend, but I promised a post for Friday and that fell through and I have some backlogged work I need to do for some kind people who sent me things to review. I am a slave to you all.

Safe Havens 11/15/08

OK I'm sorry but Google Maps doesn't update all the time. Maybe once every few years you get a new shot of your house on there to make you feel special.


PC & Pixel 11/13/08

Oh poor innocent Pixel, that full body rubber suit is definitely for something else. Blech. On another note, have you ever thought about all the horrible things your pets see every day? You do things in front of your animals that you would never do in front of a child or another human being. Maybe that's why they just go crazy sometimes.

Alley Oop 11/13/08

Alley Oop 11/14/08

Carole and Jack Bender are possibly the laziest cartoonists in the world right now. If you're telling a long and drawn-out story and your strip is in the usual long rectangle format, how about more than 2 panels per strip? It's not like they're packing each cell with details or action, god forbid dialog. Ooola will be falling down off this cliff for the next 2 years.


Ben 11/14/08

WOW BEN, THANKS FOR THE HALLOWEEN COMIC TWO WEEKS LATE! Can't wait for the Veterans Day strip some time next week.
