The Low-Hanging Fruit Edition of the Daily Comics Review

Usually I pride myself on the idea that here at the DCR we search far and wide every day for comics to make fun of, so that you all get some variety and hopefully find some new comics to support. But on days like today, you have to fall back on the old, consitently awful comics that I'm sure everyone else has already made fun of today.

Crankshaft
3/31/09
Crankshaft 3/31/09
"Well, hope you choke on you cake and die, bye."
Either Crankshaft's co-workers are completely aloof to the fact that the old shit is so bitter about still being alive that he can't accept the most basic displays of affection, or they take pleasure in his pain and in reminding him he's one year closer to being dead and gone forever, never again to ruin the atmosphere and ambiance of the bus barn. I'm hoping for #2.


Mary Worth 3/31/09
Mary Worth 3/31/09
"Are you a fucking vampire or what? Because this blood drinking is grossing me out."


The Amazing Spider-Man 3/31/09
The Amazing Spider-Man 3/31/09
We've remarked before about the surprising lack of an operating code within the police department in Metropolis. Do they have a local ordinance where they're allowed to shoot any one wearing a mask on site? Gotta be the most depressing Halloween scene anywhere.

The DCR is Fully Armed and Operational: Commence Primary Ignition

Before we get to the review, did you all notice the amazing new banner we have at the Daily Comics Review? Our good friend (dare we make that assumption) Steven Cloud of Boy on a Stick and Slither fame offered to create this piece of art for the website and we couldn't be happier! On last time, thanks so very much Steven! On to the comics.

Amazing Super Powers 3/30/09
Amazing Super Powers 3/30/09
Top 5 ways to receive a favorable review on the DCR:
1: Make a funny and original comic
2: Boobies
3: Make misogynistic, sexist jokes in jest.
4: Be Jeffrey Rowland
5: .........boobies.


Archie
3/30/09
Archie 3/30/09
That's really more of a forehead book. Betty has a t-shirt on with a bear that has a stick in his eye and is sticking it's tongue out. The logo, along with the tattered edge along her stomach is signaling a return to Trailer Park Chic fashion; I should have probably left this one for Stella. If there was a fourth panel today I'm sure it would have been Archie saying "Well Betty how about some Facecrotch time?"


Gil Thorpe 3/30/09
Gil Thorpe 3/30/09
The funny thing about today's Gil Thorpe comic strip is that if in some alternate universe sexual intercourse became a team sport, it would make just as much sense. Is Gil getting ready to karate chop his TV in panel 3?

Least I Could Do 3/27/09
If you enjoy cross-overs in comics then this next week in LICD should be one for the record books. If you aren't reading this web comic already, now is a great time to start! Message to Ryan North: the sooner you create a T-Rex action figure, the sooner this miniature sized T-Rex hole in my heart can be filled.

Alley Oop:

I have nothing to say about this comic.

I mean, god, it's so stupid! Yes, upon hearing that someone is missing, you ask where they are.

Oop is going to end up in jail soon. Hopefully.

Ha! Truancy is funny!

#301-A Saturday Session

Welcome one and all to another edition of the Weekly Comics Review only on Saturday. We have as many comics today as Bryce posted all week, so be prepared.


Blondie 3/25/09
Photobucket
When was this written? It must be 5 years ago. Well, I guess it could have been written last week and this is the futile attempt of a comic strip trying to be modern.

They might as well have said "Mr. Bumsted is totally rad and tubular".

That might have been more funny.



Beetle Bailey 3/24/09
Photobucket
Beetle looks like he is going to puke. Is that a racing strategy? Puke at the starting line so all your opponents are grossed out and you can win easily.

At least it wasn't another joke about how the Army has a rigid command system.



What the Duck 3/24/09
Photobucket
This is exactly how it goes. We slave away, doing quality work and then some jackass comes in with his retarded picture of a cat sleeping (or something equally dumb) and it's the biggest thing since StarWars Kid.

What I'm getting at is that you should go click on the button that says donate. It's right over on the side bar. On your left. No, your other left, stupid. There you go, now click donate $10,000. You don't have $10,000? Well, go find it, we'll wait for you.






































I'm sick of waiting, on to the other comics.

Chuckle Bros 3/23/09
Photobucket
This is the dumbest word play I have ever seen. Chuckle Bros receives a D-, they avoided a FAIL because of the subtlety.



Phantom 3/23/09
Photobucket
Our compatriot, Mike P, at Meekrat Entertainment has been following this Phantom storyline since it began in the 1700's. I can only imagine his glee when he saw the Croccos jumping off a boat yet again. It is the only thing in the story that isn't completly stupid and boring.



The New Adventures of Queen Victoria 3/23/09
Photobucket
I'm going to ignore the main point of the comic for fear of another backlash. Instead I'm going to draw your attention to the upper-right of the last panel. See what it says?

I agree with the statement 100%. I am over her and if we stop paying attention to her, she might just go away, or do a Playboy shoot or something.



Soup to Nutz 3/24/09
Photobucket
Only if you teach him to drink a lot.

Or if you teach him to play Beer Pong.



That's all folks. No Webcomic of the Week because I was too busy to compile a review this week. Sorry, but you'll have to deal with it.

The 300: Bla Bla Bla Bla, Then Some Comics

Oh, hey there! Fancy meeting you here. This is the 300th post for the DCR, and I just wanted to say thank you for following us. There will be a much more elaborate post next month when we hit the one year anniversary, but I want to take this opportunity to announce some exciting new changes to our website.

The biggest new addition you will see starting in our second year is the first (to our knowledge) comics review podcast! We will start releasing the podcast right around our anniversary, hopefully with updates on a weekly or bi-weekly basis from then on. We still need a good name for the program, and we are always looking for new people to interview. Associated with the podcast though are the first actual costs for our website beyond buying the basic domain rights and this is where I am reaching out to our readers. Just today I added a PayPal donation button to the left sidebar and we will be pestering you like a Public Radio host for the next few weeks to raise funds for this new venture. ANY AMOUNT IS APPRECIATED! All funds raised during this drive (and I guess any time in the future too) will go directly towards website operating expenses and upgrades.

The ultimate goal here is to become self-sufficient from ad revenue. With the recent change from our old ad service to Project Wonderful, we are growing closer to that reality every day. If you are a publisher, I cannot recommend their service any more highly. We have lots of buttons on our website that are still free and we would love for you to advertise with us! Thank you so very much again for reading this crazy little comic blog, here finally are the comics - the actual reason you have come here today.


The Grizzwells

The Grizzwells 3/27/09
I can usually ignore the overt sexual connotations associated with the words "stimulus package" in my everyday goin-ons, but when you put stimulus package and ding dong in the same sentence, the taint is too overpowering to the senses. If this latest "package" doesn't get the economy going, maybe they should throw out all inuendo and just call it the "Big Floppy Donkey Dick", or BFDD for short.


Pearls Before Swine 3/27/09
Pearls Before Swine 3/27/09
99% of the time, no one can argue with Rat's logic, but in this situation I have a major bone to pick. People use "How are you doing?" as "Hello" all day/every day, even though they don't really give a shit how you're doing. If you ever say anything besides "good" in reply, people have no idea how to react. So I just say "good" and then refuse to ask them how they are doing back. HAYD is not a greeting people. Don't use it in passing, in a rush, or any time you're unable to really find out the mental state of the person you're asking. Woa, pet-peeve of the century there.

Thursday Comic Fashion Review: 5% gayer by the day

Hello out there kiddies, did you have fun during the past week? I hope so because it is time once again for the Thursday Comic Fashion Review with your tour guide Stella Tamzarian, Action Librarian! Oh man it has been quite exciting in the Land O' Libraries this week. I may a bit late on this but I'm starting to really like the program "Library Thing". Its basically a public version of Worldcat, which is a tool that connects library collections across the country. Library Thing allows individuals as well as small libraries and organizations to share their catalogs online. You can search for a book and see who owns the book across the country. Its very easy to add books to your collection because they pull information from hundreds of sources including Amazon.com and the mackdaddy of them all, The Library of Congress. I just started my online collection today so there isn't much on there yet and I'm going to have to wait until another day to put the rest on there. If I knew this existed before I wouldn't have gone through the effort of cataloguing my books in an Excel sheet.

Don't look at me like that. Onto the comix!


9 Chickweed Lane, 3/25/2009

Your moody boyfriend thinks you're a whore my scruffy friend. The fact that he says he's entitled confuses me though. Is he a virgin? And who is counting? The only people who are if you can wear virginal white are the same people who are going to be mad that your wedding is registered at Big Bob's Buttplug and Anal Lube Emporium.

Luann, 3/25/2009The prospect of TJ's closet is even more horrible in color. You see kiddies, I read all of my comics at the Houston Chronicle page, where everything is black and white. Up until now I thought I was missing out. What is that yellow rag with the black lines in it? Sweet Jesus can that be a shirt? Or maybe a jacket? And so many hideous colors sitting together like a tacky Goodwill rainbow. The bitch makes Kanye West's wardrobe look toned down. TJ should be less concerned about what goes into his closet and more about what should be coming out, if you catch my gay drift.

Cathy, 03/23/2009
LOL bitches love to shop! Especially when you convince their fat asses that they're going to look skinny! Oh man, this well of jokes never goes dry! I predict much "ack!"ing in the future, followed by an hour long binge and purge session, finishing off with a good cry in the shower. Man if most women can relate to Cathy then the Patriarchy won man. I'll just turn in my Militant Dyke card right now and start shooting out babies because I give up.

Family Circus, 3/23/2009
Whoever marketed a hat for little girls that places two pink, fuzzy balls on their head should take a cue from Chris Hensen and take a seat right over there.

Pluggers, 3/24/2009Plugger sucks, we can all agree on this right? Katelyn? Yes? But this is probably the douchiest of all Pluggers entries just because of the pure, old white man shittyness. The cat head is nightmarish but the message pisses me off. Its a big up yours to "Them LIBERULS wantin me to learn about them savage/ stupid/ greedy [INSERT ETHNIC SLUR HERE] with their 'diversity trainin'!" The only diversity Pluggers know is the Flannel Shirt/ Non-Flannel shirt schism because Pluggers only live around other Pluggers. This can be true for the following reasons.

  1. Unless you own a white sheet with a couple of eye holes in it, you ain't welcome in this town!

    or

  2. Nobody wants to live around Pluggers
It could be both. The Pluggers themselves probably think that they keep out all of the undesirables while everyone else in the world thanks Jebus that Pluggers are all concentrated in an easilly avoidable place. Nobody has a reason to go to Pluggerville on accident, unless they're real interested in living out their trailer park fantasies.

What pisses me off most about Pluggers is that it claims to identify an entire class of people. I come from a working class family in Northern Michigan, I even went to a working class university AND a working class graduate school and I'll be damned if Pluggers claims to describe my life. Sure maybe a "working class" graduate school doesn't make sense to a lot of people but when every one of your classmates is working their way through college in their full time job, its a fucking working class graduate school. We were the Marxist dream, an educated proletariat and Pluggers comes along and shits all over it with their anti-intellectual diatribe. So in closing, Pluggers suck.

A Short News Break

Short and sweet. That seems to be the theme of the week at the DCR this week, and it holds true for your news update. Not much happening this week, I guess.



From 3/23/09, 3/23/09:
More awards announced
It must awards season or something for cartoonists. After last week, I was sure that there would be no more announced for awhile, but here we are and the only notable thing I can think of to talk about is awards. As before, I didn't actually look up who is nominated for what, I think you guys can handle that if you want to know. I can't imagine that anyone outside the industry cares.


So there you have it. All the news I could find in 45 seconds of looking.

Remeber, the monsters can't hurt you if you don't believe in them.

Fall Down, Go Boom

Ben 3/25/09
Ben 3/25/09
I have a dark secret that, until this day, I have never admitted to a single soul. I find little kids falling down to be extremely hilarious. I think it all stems from my childhood.

We would all go camping out in the middle of nowhere, and one of our family friends was 3 or 4 years old and was learning to ride a bicycle, which we nicknamed "monkey-bike". It had the smallest little frame and two gigantic rubber wheels. Our friend was pretty amazing at riding the bike, negotiating trees and stumps with ease, but he was and has always been a daredevil. There was one particularly large root in the road, and God bless him for not taking the easy route on the other 75% of the road that was root free, he would try to ride over this thing every time he passed by. Most of the time his over-inflated front tire would launch up in to the air, followed by his back tire kicking the bike up and leading toward an off-balanced, front tire landing, difficult for even a trained professional. We would watch him do this for HOURS. Crashing, crying, getting yelled at by his parents to stop doing it, composing himself and getting back on the bike all over again.

Anyways, this strip almost, ALMOST was funny, until the kid didn't get hurt.

Charging Towards an Arbitrary Milestone

Assuming everything goes according to plan over the next two days, Friday will be the 300th post on our little comic strip website. I plan on making some inside jokes and probably making fun of some comics that are bad. Make sure to come by!

Bizarro 3/24/09

Competitive wine tasting? I can think of another industry where this guy could make a lot more money. Wow. That is just freaky to look at. And here I thought Gene Simmons was a freak. Where does he keep that thing? He could give someone a real tongue lashing, like literally.

Another lesson here in the world of sound effect words. Don't use real words to simulate sounds in your comic strips, unless that have been previously established as that type of word (pop, bang, OOOOOOGA). Also, Mapquest? This is freaking B.C. here, as in Before Computers, duh!

Short and Sweet Monday Comics

I know I haven't been writing much to tell you all what is going on in the world of the DCR but so far no one has said anything. We have these new advertisements from Project Wonderful (we got rid of Adsense) and I would like to encourage you all to click on any of our new sponsors that look interesting! I don't get paid by you clicking on the ads any more so I am allowed to encourage you to check them out! Also if you are a publisher I would highly recommend PW. You can get some amazing deals on ad space, even here on the DCR.

Sunday March 22nd

Alley Oop:

You know, I discovered something unpleasant: Alley Oop is still running those damned dinosaur drawings on the weekdays - or at least they did on Saturday. I didn't read the actual comic (didn't want to ruin today's surprise!), I just saw a kid's drawing. It's March! Almost April! Sheesh!

Anyways...

Alley Oop


You go to some version of the present, there is security. He's probably already followed, at the worst, or ticketed at the least for the stunt with the car. Hopefully it will rain. That thing ain't a convertible.

And he's been going to the future for a while now, right? Doesn't he know these things? He knows people don't carry axes in museums, he's not supposed to be stupid, just arrogant and ignorant. Right?

And couldn't he have made an appointment with the good doctor who apparently runs/owns/is in charge of the whole museum?

Andy Capp:

The only thing I like about Andy Capp is that, in the time I've been looking at it, it hasn't tried to be more than a shitty comic about a hateful married middle-aged couple. No month long celebration of their staying power, no terrible children's drawings of... what? Mom and Dad fighting? Dad drinking?

Eek.

Onto the comic!

Andy Capp

What ho! A "joke" about a carbon footprint! How very timely! They're not doing reruns.

But Andy, you fool, you know she'd be at home with the lights blazing waiting for you. Possibly on the computer, IMing her sister about what a bastard you are. Or on the phone. Not watching TV, though, you're right about that. Because she's furious.

Why are they together again? Why is she with him if she hates what he does?

I mean, it's the Lockhorns, only British and longer and I have to write about it. (Which is actually worse than just reading it, just zip and forget. This requires thought. Well, not much, as you can see.)

Just What Is An Underfold?

Well, I'm not sure what an underfold is, but I do know that The Underfold is the Webcomic of the Week. Probably almost all of you don't know about it yet, mostly because it's pretty new.

As to why it is called The Underfold, the writer/artist Brian C. Russell, tells me that the name comes from the fact that Sunday editions are printed on index cards with drink labels on the outside, hence the comic is under the fold. Maybe not as clever a name as Dinosaur Comics, but that's just because it doesn't have dinosaur in the name.

The comics themselves are generally formatted the same as regular comic strips. There are four panels and the first three set up the punchline in the final one. What I like about it is that the jokes generally make fun of themselves. Mr. Russell has a firm understanding that legacy strips like The Born Loser, Beetle Bailey, and Blondie have essentially destroyed the usual comic strip punchlines. His strips don't talk about how much it sucks to have a job or bitch about having a boss that acts like a boss. He pokes fun at himself and his own creative process. About how if he doesn't want to draw it, then it disappears from the reality of the strip in the next panel. It's refreshing in a world of the same recycled jokes to have another fresh perspective to go alongside Jeffery Rowland of Overcompensating and Wigu, Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics, Chris Hastings of Dr. McNinja and Wes and Tony of AmazingSuperPowers.

The art isn't as good as some would like, but in the short amount of time Mr. Russell has been posting his comic on the web, the art has improved immensely and I'm sure it will continue to improve(I must say that it is much better than I could ever hope to draw, so he gets a free pass from me).

The only major gripe I have is that each comic is labeled as an episode in a season. I'm not sure how many episodes Mr. Russell decides to have in each season, but if he keeps making new comics I think that this system will become unwieldy even though he does provide a title for each comic. But that is his own system and he may have good reason for using it.

So, I urge you, if you are looking for a new webcomic that doesn't suck and isn't a manga, to check out The Underfold. It may not be the best comic out there, but it's better than pretty much anything you'll read in a newspaper.

The Biggest Saturday Ever

Another week, another Saturday. We've got lots in store today, or at least more than usual.


Wee Pals 3/13/09
Photobucket
Wee Pals receives a grade of "Walrus Vagina" for this attempt at humor. What kind of grade is "Walrus Vagina"? Well, it's the most disgusting thing I could think of.

Oh, wait. You wanted to know where the humor was? Unfortunately, no one knows where the humor in Wee Pals is. It's assumed dead after having been missing for so long.


C'est La Vie 3/16/09
Photobucket
If everyone that carried a zucchini around was a pervert, then I guess everyone in the produce aisle is a pervert.

And I really don't understand what the deal is here. Are they going to use the zucchini when they're having sex or something? I didn't think anyone did that in real life.


Scary Gary 3/18/09
Photobucket
I don't regularly read Scary Gary, so I don't know if this has been an entire storyline or just a one-off, but it would really suck to be alive as a head in a jar.


Especially if there was a cat in the house.


Cats can be pricks sometimes.



Real Life Adventures 3/18/09
Photobucket
This one, I liked. But only because "Duh, indeed" is something that I would say in real life. I guess that does make them Real Life Adventures.

Also, those gutters must be freaking huge if a bowling ball can fit in them.

Also, there doesn't seem to be a house in the background of the scene. This begs the question: are the gutters in his mind?*



F-Minus 3/19/09
Photobucket
Because no one else lives underwater, that's why, you stupid clown.

Also, that must be some really good makeup the clown is wearing. It doesn't run, even when submerged in a lake.



*if you got what I was going for, then I applaud you, for you have as large a store of useless pop culture references as I do.


That's all for this week folks. Except for the ever popular Webcomic of the Week.

A Lot of Really Strange Comics

Watch Your Head 3/20/09
Watch Your Head 3/20/09
Watch Your Head borrows some style from Mark Trail today and brings us quite possibly the worlds first talking crotch on the funny pages. The truly disturbing thing is that from this angle, there is no way to tell what part of this man's anatomy is doing the berating.


Ben 3/20/09
Ben 3/20/09
Two lovers, in the last gasp before oblivion, reaching as hard as they can, just to express their undying affection and devotion. The moment, ruined by two stupid little boys.


Dinosaur Comics

Dinosaur Comics 3/19/09
We've been struggling with branding here at the DCR lately so maybe this is a good way to ask for your suggestions? What nickname would you give our little blog here? Bad people reviewing bad comics? Stupid crappy crap stuff? The Snark Department?

Thursday Comic Fashion Review: I've got Buck Fever and the only cure is more cowbell

Hey y'all. Its that time again and again I slack on the actual fashion criticism. Sometimes I like to complain about a number of things and they are connected to fashion in obtuse ways. Over here in Library Land the State Archives of Michigan just launched their new website for Seeking Michigan, the digitization project displaying the amazing diversity of Michigan past. They also put up some old documentaries about Michigan on Vimeo and Youtube. I really like "Buck Fever" because it reminds me of the old deer camp my family used to go to up North and they coyly leave out the copious drinking involved in Deer Hunting.

Onto the Comics!


Barkeater Lake, 3/17/2009
Ah St. Patrick's Day, the one Catholic Holiday I choose to celebrate or at least I used to celebrate. Because like most red blooded Americans of non-Irish decent I used to get horribly drunk on St. Patty's Day, however last year was the year to take the cake. I was in a van and I threw up in one of those green plastic hats, much like the one being worn by the Gentleman in the last panel. Once you throw up in a novelty hat lying alone in a parked rented van because you're too drunk to be in the bar you start to re-evaluate your life choices. So this year I didn't go out and low and behold I didn't get sick, I'm like a genius or some shit!

Trevor, 3/18/2009
And don't forget kid he'll also take your parents, dog and everyone you ever knew and loved. So I don't know if you should want his love so much as fear him because the dude is batshit crazy. He told his first follower to bring his only son up to a mountain and cut his throat to prove his allegiance. Eventually he said he was joking but do you want to mess with a crazy motherfucker like that? He could give you boils just to prove a point to Satan if he felt like it. God shows his love by saving your life in a car accident but leaving you a vegetable who shits his bed for the rest of his life. By the way if you haven't figured it out yet I'm an atheist and a bitter one too!

Herb and Jamal, 3/17/2009

Dammit Herb, Polyester is a fiber not a pattern. Those pants could quite possibly be made of polyester but old people are known to wear plaid pants, especially the old farts who play golf. Luckally for everyone Tiger Woods made it cool for black folks to get onto golf courses but Herb doesn't seem like the Golfing type which doesn't make sense for him to be wearing those pants. Then again, possibly unbeknownst to him, Plaid pants are actually quite fashionable...


If you're a tall, blond, white woman or the Bizzaro Herb.


Judge Parker, 3/16/2009
Sometimes people like to express their individuality through their clothing choices, particularly though clothes that defy the usual Fashion Norm. This little girl wants to scream out to the world, "Hello world! I seem to have dropped my helmet and which way back to the short bus?"

Good night y'all and have a merry morrow unless God chooses to make an example out of you and smites you for funzies.

Now It's Time for Some News

Welcome to another update on the world of comic strips. Not much exciting this week, but you can see for yourself:

From 3/12/09:
Comic Strip Writer Invents Word
Stephan Pastis invented a word, un-died, and it has been added the the Urban Dictionary. I'm not really sure that the Urban Dictionary is really the authority on what is and ain't a word, but it would be cool to invent a word that is recognized by somebody as being real.

From 3/16/09, 3/16/09, and 3/16/09:
Many Awards Given
Apparently the 16th of March was award day for the world of cartoonists. Three separate organizations announced award winners. I don't actually know who won or what was won because I can't think of a reason why someone that isn't a cartoonist would care.

From 3/17/09:
Newspaper Decides to Print on the Web Instead of Paper
As anyone that lives in the Pacific Northwest already knows, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has ceased printing, at least on paper. In a move to save money, the oldest paper in Washington state has moved entirely online. No one knows how the last ditch gamble will work, but it apparently has been described as "a Huffington Post of mainstream media". I thought that newspapers hated bloggers, I guess prejudices get thrown out the window when your bankrupt.

From 3/19/09:
Rock Star Wants You to Save His Favorite Comic Strips
Eddie Vedder, of Pearl Jam(how did you not know that?), wants people to start bugging the alternative newspapers that dropped some alternative comics recently. Because everyone knows that Eddie Vedder was the editor of a newspaper before becoming a rock star and knows the secret of printing more content for less money. Something that he has been very selfish in keeping to himself.

As usual, the stories appear via the Daily Cartoonist.

Remember, this is done just for you, not all the other assholes on the internet.

Parenthood Comics: Almost as Bad as Jokes about the Economy

If you are really trying to discourage people from having children, just send them a couple hundred comics about family situations and viola! Everybody is using birth control!
