Pearls Before Swine knows what they're talking about 6/6/08
I am just not feeling it today. I haven't felt like this in a while but I'd say it's a mix of fatigue and emotional mediocrity. Anyways, this is a big weekend for my family so I'm not sure how many updates you'll be getting. I'll do my best.
Pearls Before Swine 6/6/08
Rat has figured it out. I felt the same way this morning and I should have just called it in, across the board. It's just been that kind of a week.
Brenda Starr 6/6/08
I hate this comic. I've only been reading it for about a month, so this may be a bit premature, but I can't stand it! We have a mysterious man with an eye patch, whose child also has an eye patch, who has a dog who also has an eye patch. Is this supposed to be cute? I find it trite. And look! Brenda Starr has little stars/lense flare in her hair and eyes almost every frame. And the plot never goes anywhere. God they picked the wrong day to show all three of those eye-patched mother f'ers.

"Brenda Starr" is a legacy strip that's actually gotten just a tiny bit more realistic in recent years, if you can believe that. Do a Google Image search for "Brenda Starr" and "Dale Messick" (the original artist) and you'll see what I mean.
That said... Kazookistan? KAZOOKISTAN??? C'mon, now. You're just f'ing with us. Is Kazookistan next door to Jawsharpitania? Is the capital city Waxpaperandcombopolis?
Oh yes jvwalt, I've talked about the kazookistan before here: http://www.dailycomicsreview.com/2008/05/lots-of-comics-for-may-14th-2008.html
And I'll check out some vintage Brenda Starr. The next time I'm feeling masochistic.
KAZOOKISTAN??? Why, yes. This continues the Dale Messick tradition of naming Brednda's suitors (the woodsman "Awful Natural" comes to mind), enemies, locations, etc. Are you aware that Brenda and Basil St. John have/had a daughter named Star Twinkle? No joke.
