Family Circus 3/27/09
"Nope, just a fever from your herpes."
Crock 3/23/09
This would never work logically for about 10 different reasons, but the top one I can think of is that since Crock is the spawn of Satan, he really has no mother.
Nest Heads 3/18/09
YOU'RE A FUCKING BIRD!
The Sunshine Club 3/18/09
Not depressed enough that this guy is going to his wife's grave to talk with her? He's also hallucinating smoke rising from other graves. SUNSHINE!

Woo! Taking part in the voting process has left me drained. Well, actually, my brain turned to mush after reading these... Hooray for "current" jokes!
This election is rigged! I cast my vote for Family Circus, but it won't register. It claims there are no votes for Family Circus.
Nest Heads is terrible because, as you say, they're birds. However, considering how a good 71% of comic strips fall back on Stimulus Package jokes, it lacks originality. I'd rather have a comic with a terrible joke that's original than a comic with an overused crappy joke. This is also why I didn't vote for Family Circus, and also the fact that the children in that strip frighten me.
Crock succeeds in having an original terrible joke, but it's freaking Crock. Also, since it's part of the Hart/Parker legacy, it has a certain amount of fame to it. It's part of a theme park attraction, for god's sake. I don't want to give it any more attention and fame than it needs, even if the attention it gets is the winner of the month's worst strip.
After putting entirely too much thought into the whole thing, I voted for Sunshine Club. Terrible joke, characters who don't frighten me, and relatively obscure. Take that, Sunshine Club. Take that.
Sunshine Club. I mean WTF is it supposed to mean? Typically, when you hear something do with non-smoking sections and death, you're about to be harangued by a self-righteous zealot of some sort. Is that the setup for this joke? If so, they've certainly hidden that fact well. So Sunshine Club it is.
Isn't Howie Schneider dead? Gives that Sunshine Club strip even deeper annoying anti-poignancy.
