Thursday Night Fashion Review: With more disturbing images than ever!

Welcome, welcome one and all to the Thursday Fashion Comic Review with your host, Stella Tamzarian, Action Librarian. This week will be kind of short, sweet and full of disgustingness because its hot as balls here in Detroit and we are between air conditioners at the moment. Oh sure, Air Conditioners are expensive in the utility bills and they harm the environment, but do you know what I say? Fuck the Earth, I'm fat and I'm hot and until Librarians make enough money for me to hire Hugh Jackman to fan me the Earth will just have to take another one for the team.

Onto the bitchy comics!


The Duplex, 4/28/2009
Is there anything more unsettling than a grown man dressed like a baby? Unless you're into that sort of thing of course and some people are as evidenced by the show I get all of my information from; CSI: Crime Scene Investigations. Its called Paraphilic infantilism (wikipedia article, not teh pr0n!) and a lot of it involves pooping. Yeah its weird but at least they're not Furries.


Tina's Groove, 4/27/2009
Wait, wait, wait did he kiss both cheeks and go "Muwah!" after each kiss? Does he wear a neckerchief? Does he love Liza Minnelli? Is he a gay stereotype from the 70s? Yes? Well congratulations you're actually dating Charles Nelson Reilly. Ok ok, I can see the Theater thing but Reading? Reading is for Gays? Did Toby Keith write this comic?


Lola, 4/24/2009
And he has huge pant legs, he must have thighs like a centaur! It reminds me of Torgo in Manos: Hands of Fate.

Neurotica, 4/24/2009
Gramps? Gramps has some floppy boobies there. What is the deal with the comics and floppy boobies? Is that what is going to save our Comic's Pages?


Wizard of Id, 4/24/2009
I can't. I just can't. Insert your own "dike" + "sucking" joke here, I just don't have the heart man.


Well so concludes another week of Fashion riffing. Good night y'all!

Anything In The News?

No news is good news. That's what I've heard anyway, and since there isn't really anything worth bringing to your attention, what we have is no news. Sorry to the one, possibly two, people that actually give a crap about comic strip news, but I just haven't heard anything this week.

The DCR - Expanding till We Take Over Everything

I feel like a total douche ass for not saying anything about this before but the DCR now has a forum! Mikey P who runs Meerkat Entertainment(home of the famous Spider-Man blog) invited us to join with him in their forumy goodness. You should head on over there right now, sign up for an account (FREE!) and start telling me why the DCR will never be any good. I'd really appreciate it! This is my last regular post for April, I will see you all on Friday for our worst comics of the month poll launch.

Oh yeah, newspapers aren't obligated to their advertisers? People in the paper business need to figure out that if you offer ad space directly on the funny pages it's a win-win. It will be very popular for advertisers and all of us comic strip lovers wont complain because at least you'll be maintaining your funny pages instead of cutting the comics we love. You don't have to say anything, I know I'm a genius.

Just Another Sunday... NOT!

So today is kind of a big deal. One year ago I made my first post and the Daily Comics Review was born. It hasn't always been every day, funny, or about comics, but it has been 365 days! I've learned a lot about blogging, networking and promotion in this time. I've read several thousand comic strips and web comics in order to bring you a handful of the best and worst each day. This whole thing has been pretty cool.

Before I show you all some strips to illustrate what is new and what hasn't changed in the last year, I've got some people to thank! Eric Carlson was my first assistant and without his formating and SEO help the DCR might never have gotten off the ground. Brian Hall of Watch This Space was the first person to take a crack at covering the weekend, and although he doesn't stop by very often any more, he took the 7-days-a-week pressure off my shoulders which definitely helped me not burn out. All of my current writers are bad asses. Kaitlyn, XY and Stella all volunteer their time here to help me attempt my own little internet dream and I hope you all stay around the DCR for a long time. Lastly I would like to thank the fans! One comment about something you liked or hated can make all the difference between feeling like I'm making something people enjoy and is worth my time, or that I am just kidding myself in to thinking someone would read what I write.

It was true when I started and it's still true today. If you look hard enough you can find someone doing something original and entertaining every day within this medium we all love.

Watch Your Head 4/26/09
I know last year when we started the newspaper comic page wasn't doing so well but it seems the degeneration is accelerating more every day. Comics as we know them are changing drastically and it is our job as fans to support what we love. Look for more calls for action this year as we get involved in the fight to save our media.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - everyone hates Jeffey. We will continue to strike against bad cartoons and lazy creators every day until our dying day, and that's a promise.

That dying day might not be too far off if creators keep making these Google Earth comics. If I am still reading these in a year I don't think I'll want to live any more.

So when I read this post one year from now here is what I hope is new: 1:This fucking recession is over. 2: The website is even more popular and people are loving our podcasts. 3: I am crowned comedy king of the interwebs!

No Rest for the Wicked

Saturday. What does it mean to you? Traditionally, Saturday is a day of rest, especially if you are of the Jewish persuasion. For me Saturday has become a day of work. Working on the internet, working on school work, just plain going to work. I hope that you'll enjoy the fruits of my work on this Saturday as you rest and relax.

The length and quality of these reviews in in reply to a challenge from reader and creator of former Webcomic of the Week, The Underfold, Brian Russell. When I tweeted that today's post was going to be awesome, he outright challenged me and I accepted. So let this be a lesson, if you want personal recognition and a better than average Saturday post, challenge me. Use comments or twitter or email, it doesn't matter. I will do my best to meet your challenge. Onto the comics!

Those of you that do not like to read at length may want to skip today as it takes many words to be this awesome.

Wait, you're telling me that kids still skip at recess?! I thought that they just milled around in the shade because everyone is too fat to run. That's what the news has been telling me. Are you suggesting the news is being over-dramatic? I find such a thing laughable. Hahahahaha. See? I just laughed at it.

Also, gambling should be encouraged at school. It teaches valuable skills about money management and breaking kneecaps. I've always found my knowledge of breaking kneecaps very useful in my life, haven't you?




The Argyle Sweater 4/20/09

Photobucket"
So the weird, fat kid shit on his desk? I wanted to say that he shit his pants, but then I realized that he isn't wearing any pants. Must be Ziggy's kid.

Wait, that would mean that Ziggy has genitalia. And that someone had sex with Ziggy. *Shudder*. And now that imagine will never leave my mind. But since we're all scarred now anyway, let's examine this predicament.

Ziggy is a horrible, unfunny mutant that never wears pants and, even though he has no coverings, has no discernible genitalia. How would one such as Ziggy find a mate? What kind of sick person would willingly have intercourse with Ziggy? He's so tiny and weak that I think we can safely rule out rape as a factor. The only logical conclusion I have is that Ziggy, at some point, donated to a sperm bank or froze some eggs. It is nearly impossible to determine Ziggy's gender, but the result is the same either way. An infertile couple must have gone to the sperm/egg bank and unknowingly gotten Ziggy's sperm/eggs and had a child that is comprised of half Ziggy DNA. The other half appears to be a tire or marshmallow, which is greatly confusing.

And thus, we have the reason why this child does not wear pants.

If you skipped ahead, I advise you to go back and read that, for it is truly great. No really, it is.




Moe 4/23/09

The comic has a great joke and I will not attempt to deconstruct it, that is how great my respect for great comedy is.

However, there are some other things that concern me.

1) Since when has 'PIP' been a sound effect? What real-world sound does 'PIP' correlate to? I've never heard anything make a sound resembling 'PIP'.

2)Why is, what appears to be, a man shaving his axillary area (that's the armpit to those of you without medical backgrounds)? And why is he completely naked while doing so? Is he shaving his pubic area next? Why is the other guy not concerned about these things? Are they a gay couple? Will I ever stop asking questions?

No.

3)Why is there blood spurting forth from what would seem to be a very small wound? Is that guy's carotid artery in his forehead?

Except for those things, this is a very good comic.




Frog Applause 4/24/09

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that this author is writing about me in my own words. Not that I've ever said that, but I sure have thought it. I mean . . . I get tons of action, so I would never think anything like what the loser in this comic is thinking. Yeah, that's what I meant. Look, I've done tons of broads . . . internationally. It's really best if you just ignore what I said earlier and go about your business. But I do get all kinds of action. All kinds. Stop doubting me.

All right, fine. You caught me. I get no action. Are you happy now? Cause I feel like crap, you bunch of bastards. I hope you feel proud of yourselves for breaking the spirit of a once proud blogger.

I must go now and sulk in the darkness.

Once again, Webcomic of the Week is scheduled to return next week. However, scheduling conflicts may arise so there are no guarantees.

T-Minus 2 Days and Counting

This Sunday we will be celebrating our one year anniversary! Look for a super special Sunday edition of The DCR! And don't forget to toss a little something something in our paypal tip jar to help us celebrate!

Marmaduke 4/23/09
Marmaduke 4/23/09
They wouldn't buy him a dog for getting good grades. They wouldn't buy him a dog for his birthday. They wouldn't even let the Make-A-Wish people get him a dog after his diagnosis. So he traded his X-Box to Marmaduke's owners for their pet. Sounds like the script to the latest feel-good kids movie on Disney.


Baldo 4/24/09
Baldo 4/24/09
You spend a week saying goodbye to one of the seminal characters from your strip and within a week you're making diarrhea jokes. I am missing Joey much earlier than I expected. While some elderly people might talk about their bowel movements with loved ones, teenagers don't talk about taking a dump with anybody except their guy friends, otherwise it is just WEIRD.


Popeye 4/24/09
Popeye 4/24/09
First things first - no, you are not on acid. Are the double thought balloons for ? and ! really necessary? I'm sure there is a term for people with ghost sex fantasies but that is one area of the internet I have been lucky enough to avoid so far in my life. What do you do on a ghost date? They can't eat or interact with anything physically.

Thursday night Comic Fashion Review; Now with a hidden Silence of the Lambs reference

Hey y'all its Stella Tamzarian, Action Librarian here to tell you all that its almost summer! Oh my god, I'm pretty sure it won't snow anymore here in Michigan which makes my kickass new Jayne Cobb hat kind of impractical until Fall, but do you think that will stop me? I think not. As a Librarian my body temperature is a consistent 70 degrees instead of the regular 98.6 like most people, which is why you will see Librarians wearing sweaters all year long, sometimes both a cardigan AND a sweater vest like I was sporting the other day. Its Biology, don't bother looking it up.

Speaking of body temperature, I have a suggestion for delicious cooling off and it involves Mountain Dew. I am a voracious Mountain Dew drinker, in my personal opinion it has the perfect amount of caffeine and sugar to wake me up in the morning without making me crazy. Also Mt. Dew has orange juice in it, so its pretty much a Breakfast drink anyway. Anywho, for your benefit Mountain Dew is putting on a contest for their new drink, Mountain Dew Voltage. Fans of The Dew like myself can enter to win prizes like such as iPods, skateboards, gaming stuff and other such swag. To enter the contest click here: www.dewmocracyvoltage.com

So onto the comix and their poor fashion choices




Tina's Groove, 4-17-09
If you didn't catch it, the chef is talking about Butt Sex. Hot golfer butt sex. Sandtrap Sodomy. A real "Hole in One", if you know what I mean. But seriously, do golfers really dress like that now a days? I think people are stuck on Caddyshack and think all golfers look like Rodney Dangerfield, but in reality the people who are usually out there golfing are wearing dockers and hissing racist slurs at their caddies. The poofter Capri pants will probably get you kicked out of the Country Club, plus you look like you might be some kind of ethnic there Sonny Jim. Better luck next time.

Bliss, 4-17-09
So is that fine ass Freddie Mercury mustache that guy in the background is sporting. The life of the Guppie (Gay Urban Professional) is a complicated maze of Bloomies brown bags and Italian loafers, and I'm sure that the 70's Leather Daddy 'stach of yesteryear is not found on anyone anymore. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the cartoonist is not gay and thinks most gay dudes look like Jack MacFarland from Will and Grace or the Biker from the Village People.


The Fusco Brothers, 4-22-09
When you people first saw his outfit did you think that he killed and skinned Barney the dinosaur Buffalo Bill style to wear his skin as clothes? Do I need medication?



Pluggers, 4-17-09

Now featuring the first and last time a Plugger child will achieve anything in life, and it will be for looking ugly. That seems about right.


Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, 4-20-09
Jesus Christ, is there any woman in Hootin' Holler that wears a goddamn bra? If there weren't so many smelly looking men around in this strip I would assume that Hootin' Holler is a lost Lesbian Separatist community. Hey I'm a militant dyke and I'm all for sisters who don't want to conform to a beauty ideal but you have to take comfort into account as well ladies. When you have the big jugs that hang to your navel you have sweating issues, plus if you try and run anywhere they're bouncing around all painfully. If you want to make a statement ladies take it from me, try a nice, practical sports bra that won't pull on your armpit hair.


So on that note I'm going over to my dinner which consists of a Spaghetti Casserole covered with cheese and bacon. My hillbilly credentials are now confirmed, as well as my inevitable heart attack. Ah well, hell is paved with cheese and bacon and its fucking delicious.

Night y'all!

News is Good for You

Not much going on this week, unless you want to here about more awards that you've never heard of.



From 4/20/09:
Webcomic To Release Book

XKCD is one of the best, and best known, webcomics. It is consistently funny and smart, something few comic, web or not, can accomplish. And if you always wanted to have the comics in your hand instead of on your screen, you can. Randall Munroe will soon be publishing the first collected volume of XKCD, a release date is pending.


From 4/23/09:
Crazy Old Magazine Still Going Strong

MAD magazine has hit 500 issues after 57 years of being published. It is amazing that a magazine marketed towards those that think fart jokes will never stop being funny is still relevant in this day and age. It is a testament to how good the magazine is. Here's to another 500 issues.


Good night and remember, Dr. Pepper is the only soda with 23 intense flavors!

Earth Day Comics BLARGH!

Today is Earth Day in case you haven't already heard, and almost every comic strip found a way to remind us that IT'S EARTH DAY! I work at an office where people leave the lights on in their office when they leave for 2 hour lunches, leave the lights on in the bathroom that only gets used 4-5 times a day, and people glug bottled water instead of the awesome tap water we have here because "our pipes are old." Did I wait until today to start giving them shit about it and trying to get them to change? No, because Earth Day is every day!

Brian Basset, are you serious? This quote has never been used to illustrate the "friendship" type of love. Every time people are talking about spring and "love" they really mean "fucking". Tomorrow the comic will be "Red, why are you taking that peanut butter in your room with Rover?"

Monday Comics Fest

Why yes I had a fantastic time at Stumptown Comics Fest over the weekend, thanks for asking! I met some very nice creators who I will give props to at a later time and it was great to see all the freaks and weirdos who go to big public events like that. It's good to feel normal, if only on the outside.

A bird, that is purple, with a ribbon around it's neck? If you don't know what one looks like, or how to draw a parakeet, don't just draw an impossibly colored chicken. We need a new term for people who are SO LAZY they wont even look on Google to find something out.

You'll Love These NUTS

Webcomic of the Week. That is what this post is about and you will be reading about this week's Webcomic very shortly. Like right after you finish reading this sentence or start ignoring this sentence.


Assorted NUTS! is a comic created by Nick Barrameda. It follows the adventures of seven friends, each with their own personality and problems. While Mr. Barrameda has been drawing Assorted NUTS! since his high school days, it made its first official public appearance in the college paper, The Benildean, where it won Best Comic Strip of 2006. Mr. Barrameda attempted to sell issues of his comic at a Phillipine comic con, but sales were not as expected and, like the rest of us, turned to the internet. Assorted NUTS! will celebrate its one year anniversary as a webcomic this May.

Assorted NUTS! features wonderful art that is vaguely reminiscent of Anime and Manga, however, beneath the initial impression it is clear that there are many influences. Mr. Barrameda told me that others have pointed out that his art style is influenced by Sailormoon and Archie Comics. I don't know about that, but the art easily surpasses most comics, print, online, or otherwise. It is done in the familiar four-panel style, so the first three panels are generally set up for the punchline in the fourth. While I can't begrudge the choice to go with such a proven set-up, I would like to see someone try a different one. If nothing else, it is done in a vertical rather than a horizontal strip, eliminating the chance that a reader might read the punchline before the set-up because they simply glanced in the wrong spot on their screen.

Assorted NUTS!, like all Webcomic of the Week winner so far, is a comedy strip. Following the lives of seven friends, all with wildly different personalities, it isn't hard to imagine all the wacky situations that could come up. From sight gags to word play to characters that just don't get along, there is no shortage of comedy in Assorted NUTS! While some old jokes are used, they aren't beaten to death. In fact, with such a variety of characters, Mr. Barrameda could have several weeks of comics and not use the same joke in the same way twice (I'm looking at you Andy Capp and Marmaduke).

The main critizisms I have are that the backstory for the comic is very extensive and could be imposing to new readers. The individual comics usually have a stand-alone punchline that can be understood without knowing the history of all the characters, but to truely understand the entire comic, it is necessary to know each of the characters and their history. While this may not be a problem for readers that have been following the comic for a few months, it does to newer readers.

If you want a smart webcomic that has a cast of characters unlike most, start reading Assorted NUTS! Once you start reading, you won't want to stop.

Weekly Saturday Review

Hello again, and welcome to The Saturday Comics Week in Review. That's a long title for such a simple concept, but it was the best I could come up with this week. Maybe it will stick, maybe it will be replaced by something even longer and more complicated. But that's not why you've visited today, on to the comics!


Basic Instructions 4/13/09

I have never been to an IKEA and, to my knowledge, have never owned a piece of their furniture. This does not stop me from hating them with great passion. From what I understand, IKEA is basically the Scandinavian version of Wal-Mart. With this understanding, I can determine that IKEA sells garbage to stupid people at a marginal discount, $1.93 instead of $1.99 for example. All that being said, however, buying some crap from IKEA is a better idea than buying a couch from someone that you don't intimately know. Take the case of the cat in the couch for example. Would you want a cat living in your sofa? I didn't think so.

"Well that all fine and good, but your head is shaped like a human anus. Wait, I have an idea! Why don't we just call you Mr. Asshead? It's like a nick-name because it's fun for us and it can't really insult you because your head is shaped like an ass."

"Just kidding, we don't hire people with asses for heads."

Because that's what parents do in real life. All the parents I know watch intently as their children slice hookers with samurai swords and shoot cops with AK-47s. Of course, most of the parents I know are giving tips on where the bazooka is and the most efficient way to steal the tank. And none of them even own a Bible.

Isn't that what every artist wants when they ask for an opinion? We don't want to know what sucks, we just want you to tell us why you like it, even if you don't. That's why I don't consider myself part of that group. Please, tell me what you like and especially tell me what you don't like. I would love to know what you hate about my writings, it makes me better at what I do.


Webcomic of the Week will be up late tonight so you might want to read it tomorrow.

Cornered seems to have infiltrated my head and gone directly to the "worst nightmare" district. It would serve me right for living my atheistic existence and engaging in this snarky blogger lifestyle to die and go up to heaven and be denied entry because of all the feelings I hurt while running the DCR.


Baldo 4/17/09
Baldo 4/17/09
So I guess I should say something nice now? It takes balls to run a comic strip with a slightly continual plot and make the decision to get rid of a character. I've been reading Baldo for over a year now, and though I always remember cringing slightly whenever Joey was in the strip (readying myself for the inevitable slacking off joke) I was taken aback by my own feelings of sadness to see him go. Wait a minute, me.... feelings.... fuck this I need a different comic quick!
