The Last Sunday

It's not really the last Sunday but it will be my last as I move my days to Fridays and Saturdays to better work around my schedule. As you may have read, we are currently looking for new writers to take over some days so if you're interested then send an email to dailycomicsreview[at]gmail.com. But now let's get onto the comics and don't forget to check out my site.

B.C.

I think most people agree that B.C. is set in some post-apocalyptic future but whenever the strip shows dinosaurs it kind of skews the setting unless evolution is somehow circular. Also, that raptor should have feathers.

Nancy and Cul de Sac

Cloud gazing synchronicity. In both cases the clouds become a bit too real.

Frank & Ernest

Ugh. This is a long way to go for a terrible pun that most readers will not understand. I'd walk out too if a worm crawled out of my sandwich. I don't care how much it looks like Slimey from Sesame Street.

The Argyle Sweater

What if you just have a fear of Kate Hudson. I mean, she is not aging gracefully. I'm assuming too much Botox but the woman's only 32.

Monty

Kudos for doing an Aquaman joke. Kudos.

The Born Loser

So Hattie's parents spend absolutely no time with her causing her to use the Thornapples as surrogate parents but they at least bring her on vacations to Cape Cod. I guess that makes them decent parents.

Hit List Grows and Shrinks

Meekrat again. Here's some stuff.

For Heaven's Sake, 07/25

Apparently, while I wasn't posting on here perennial punching-bag "Girls and Sports" was cancelled. With the similar demise of "Cleats" most of my hated comic strips are getting the axe. Unfortunately, new ones are popping up, like this one. This one is particularly terrible, since I'm reasonably sure church-going is at an all-time low in America and any good church-going man would never hit a lady. Also, why is he speaking in the first panel and thinking in the second? It's not as if they didn't hear his initial line.

Herb and Jamaal, 07/25

Those are huge Oreos. Also, it's rather amazing that they called them by name and not "Sandwich Cookie" or something.

Pearls Before Swine, 07/25

I just think the Mafia Frog is adorable.

Heathcliff: No One Should

It's Meekrat, doing Mondays now, and you should read my site. There's a new comic up there. So yeah, here's some comic reviews:

Close to Home, 07/18

It's not a bad joke, but the caption for it is really clumsy. All we really need to know is that he's a doctor, while the bypass stuff is simply extraneous information. Perhaps a better way to tell it would simply to have the doctor walking into his office carrying the box of old, used medical supplies?

Dick Tracy, 07/18

Honeymoon's mother was a woman from space who married Dick Tracy's son and was later killed in a car bombing. Did you know that there was a whole thing around the sixties when stuff like that was normal? People from space and sci-fi related stuff, I mean. Not car bombing.

For Heaven's Sake, 07/18

This joke is lame and, while this is the first time I've seen this comic, I'm willing to bet it's even worse than "B. C." at its most religious. Let's keep a look out, shall we?

Heathcliff, 07/18

Heathcliff may have come first, but it was never more popular than Garfield. Even when both of them had cartoons, Garfield always had an edge over the one he usurped. The show is remembered now, but when I found out it was a comic strip, I was quite surprised. No one cares about Heathcliff, really, which is why I was quite surprised when I found this game at GameStop (I had photos of the game in the wild but they wouldn't transfer from my phone due to so many computer problems):

The fact that anyone would make any sort of video game about Heathcliff in 2011, or whenever this game came out, is absolutely absurd. At least they didn't put much effort into it, making it a simple "Spot the Differences" game using panels from the comic strip. Which doesn't explain this:

They actually put effort into making a Heathcliff game. What is this world coming to?

A Day Early, Still A Dollar Short.

Dick Tracy, July 3, 2011

Dick Tracy, July 4, 2011

Dick Tracy's new creative team continues their excellent run by resurrecting a villain from the good ol' days, in a pretty modern plot of DVD bootlegging. This is also the 4th or 5th plot since they took over? The fact that I can't keep track means that the pace has picked up just a wee bit.

 

Zits, July 4, 2011

Stay classy, Zits. Of course, the strip is named "Zits," so bodily functions shouldn't really come as much of a surprise. And I probably shouldn't mention that a running gag at my house is "It's your cooking!"

 

The Argyle Sweater, July 4, 2011

Take my word for it honey, it's not you, it's AT&T.
