Bones, Lesbians, Mind Control and More Comics 8/8/08
Marmaduke 8/8/08
"Although it feels kind of nice having a bone in bed again." Oh snap impotent guy!
Overboard 8/8/08
Every time I see a haiku in the comics, I always think they got the idea from my Thursday Haiku Reviews. I'm not self-centered at all, I promise. If we ever see a haiku comic actually on a Thursday I can't be held liable if I crap myself.
Shoe 8/8/08
There are few things creepier than a bird with teeth. Along with frogs with teeth and spiders with wings, they are the things of my nightmares. What mutant creatures of science keep you up at night? We'd love your comments.
Popeye 8/8/08
This whole ridiculous new storyline with Popeye's kid being able to control things with his mind only works if the one with the power is a little baby. Give that ability to any guy over 12 and there isn't a paper in the country that would print that comic strip.
Wee Pals 8/8/08
Wee pals is known for being a daily comic that pushes racial stereotypes and works to bring together people from all different ethnic backgrounds. That being said, they still obviously haven't gotten over the whole fat hating thing, bigots!
Jane's World 8/8/08
I've only been reading Jane's World the last couple months since starting this blog but this comic strip has nowhere to go but up! The more exposure it gets, the faster the climb will be. I mean for all the guys that read daily comics, you'd think a strip about a bunch of lesbians hooking up constantly and big boobs everywhere would be in everyone's local newspaper.

The "Popeye" strips are reruns from the long and undistinguished career of comics hack Bud Sagendorf.
The fate of "Popeye" is a particularly sad chapter in the history of comics. Creator Elzie Segar was one of the greatest talents in the funny pages. He had a nine-year run of "Popeye" before dying in 1938 at the age of 43. Since then, a whole bunch of artists have held the reins; the longest tenure was Sagendorf's -- 1959 to 1986. It's a testament to Segar's genius that the character has so long endured in the funny pages and in American culture.
Fantagraphics Press has reprinted the entire Segar run; it's definitely worth checking out.
Jane's World?! lol, seriously?
Please tell me you found out about it from the current comic megathread going on on SA... =P
I found Jane's World from the syndicates site, not SA, because I somehow read every single comic they have that's not in repeats
That Jane's World find is awesome. What we're trying to do at Zingerding is attract some of the great off-beat comic strips.
Thanks for sharing it
