Thursday Night Comic Cavelcade of Clothing Conundrums

Aha! Its time again for your weekly comics fashion review by me, Stella Tamzarian, Action Librarian. It almost didn't happen today since for some inexplicable reason the cable decided to crap out at my apartment. Far be it for me to criticize the abilities of my local cable provider but in short, they blow goats. Everyday that I'm out of precious, precious internet the closer I retreat to a primitive, animal-like state. Luckily the library where I work (though its my day off!) is open late tonight so I can bring you the hateful criticism of the comics you've come to enjoy.

Least I could Do, 02/04/2009


There is little I hate more in this world than when comic artists just paste over a repeating pattern for clothes instead of actually drawing them out like they would look on a Three Dimensional human. I assume its to shirk some of the difficulty in cartooning, which I can respect in my own lazy way but this is just unforgivable. This particular pattern is not only ugly but the repeating pattern makes me dizzy looking at it which distracts from the giant Ta Tas drawn for my enjoyment. This comic has combined breast oogling with nausea, a crime which can not be ignored. I'll see you in a ditch Ryan Sohmer and Lar Desouza!

Mary Worth, 02/02/2008


You see, at least the folks over at Mary Worth TRIED to make it look like this ugly sweater was being worn by a human instead of just projected onto their frame. Though in the back of my mind I know that no one would ever actually put that onto their body willingly, I appreciate the effort. Mary's outfit confuses me though since I don't think I've ever seen her wear a t-shirt, let alone a loud pink one. I have a pink t-shirt that looks just like that except mine is from Planned Parenthood and something tells me Mary isn't as pro-Dead Baby as I am. It could have come with the pallet of Ensure she buys from Sam's Club or maybe her sassy senior citizen improv group made t-shirts. Who knows.

Dennis the Menace, 01/30/2009

The clothing option chosen by George here is purely symbolic. They're black and white striped, just like the jumpsuits old timey prisoners used to wear. This of course is George's silent rebellion against his Menace of a neighbor, whose constant annoying behavior forces him to be a "prisoner" in his own home.


9 Chickweed Lane, 02/03/2009

I love 9 Chickweed Lane, not because its awesome but in that ironic way that all of us hipster douches like things that suck. The whole affair is a danged train wreak of ridiculousness. i thought for the longest time that Brooke McEldowney was a teenaged girl due to the pathetic and trite plot lines of this comic. I was suprised to learn that Brooke is actually a middle aged dude who has the soul of a Twilight loving teenaged girl. Anyway onto the clothes. What the hell is wrong with the dress that Edda is wearing? It's like a turtle neck but a Nehru collar, and a dress but the slit goes all the way up past her butt? Is that legal even in the Netherlands?
