The Daily Comics for Your Review 7/15/08
This has been a great week for comic strips so far, hope you all are enjoying it! I am going on vacation next week for a few days so updates my be different than usual - I am hopefully going to prewrite some web comic reviews and bring you all some of the best web comics you've never seen before. Our old buddy Eric may be stopping in to do the daily comic update in the evenings too, we shall see! Enjoy the comic review.
Dilbert 7/15/08
Almost everyone who has ever worked in a corporate office can find something they can relate to in Dilbert, and that is the reason behind its enormous success. The hardcore comic people seem to dislike the strip, but it's probably because they've been sitting in their parents basement the last 10 years and never had to deal with upper management.
Lio 7/15/08
Of all the daily comic strips that could use color, Lio would benefit the most. Mark Tatulli does an amazing job with this pantomime comic but color adds another layer of communication to help get your point across that can't be matched with other means.
Momma 7/15/08
Momma is completely unfamiliar with the term Milf, but Francis knows it all too well.
Crankshaft 7/15/08
I thought about posting this comic as the first strip today, but decided that I would lose a lot of readers after they upchucked all over their computers. What makes a cartoonist think 1: old people having sex should ever be referenced and 2: old people having sex is funny? Our only hope is that they're talking about watching a DVD instead.
Agnes 7/15/08
Anybody else see the irony here?
Scary Gary 7/15/08
Scary Gary has only been in print for about a month and it's already showing great pormise. The strip is by Mark Buford who is known for his past print comic Meatloaf Night. If you like what you see today I highly suggest you check out the short backlog of comics and also contact your local newspaper to encourage them to pick up this great comic strip.

Hey there... I just wanted to let you know that this is the comics blog I've been looking for for a long long time! I've bookmarked it now... :) Keep up the great work!
Whatevs, I love the strip Agnes. While it never makes me lol (few strips do, except for occasionally F Minus), I find it very charming and legitimately funny.
Anyway. Long time reader, first time commenter.
With Crankshaft, I'm not so much bothered by the "Ew! Old people doing it!" element, but by these, "Ew! Those two dopey, sexless sadsacks doing it!" implications.
