Thursday Night Fashion Review: Delirious Old Men edition

Hello everybody in Library Land! It is I, your hostest with the mostest... books, Stella Tamzarian, Action Librarian. Its been an awesome week because I have been fighting the mighty hydra known as the internet for many days. I love the internet but I have yet to master its mysterious ways, such as how to develop a simple html page for the Library. Turns out, I'm hella stupid when it comes to things I've never done before. It burns me inside.

Anyway onto the comix!

Beetle Bailey, 5/22/2009

And we start this weekly report off with a glimpse of the Sarge's underpants, which as far as I know, have never been seen before. Probably for good reason. While I like my men as chubby and one toothed as they come, I didn't have any desire to see Sarge in his underpants. And they don't look Army issue either. According to my vast research of the United States Army*, underwear is pale green so these must be a birthday gift from Beetle.

Also this doctor seems to have a dark sense of humor, since he's making coy jokes about Sarge's aggressive heart disease.

Family Circus, 5/23/2009
Take heed Thel, when a baby and a giant headed idiot-child are commenting on your wardrobe then you need to start making changes. That or start the beatings earlier in the morning. I recommend a bag of oranges. A sock full of Nickles for Jeffy.

Ziggy, 5/23/2009
No fashion review in this one, other than the fact that Ziggy walks around with his junk out due to his no pants but everyone knows that by now. No I'm talking about Ziggy's pet parrot wanting the news to be about Parrots, it reminds me of the Monty Python sketch where they DID have a news program for parrots and even an adapted version of A Tale of Two Cities, it was funny. So whenever I see Ziggy's parrot talk I always hear Terry Jones' nasally voice come out of its mouth and it makes me laugh till I pee.

Carry on.


Pluggers, 5/23/2009You will never know true despair until the day you realize that you're a Plugger. I had this EXACT lunch today and now all I want to do is puke and puke until my pancreas comes shooting out of my mouth. Fuck you Pluggers! I'm not you! I'm not you!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh please, who am I kidding anymore. I'm a damn Plugger. Its been well established that I'm white trash. Sure maybe I believe in those elitist notions like readin and other kinds of book learnins but the truth bites me in the face like a hungry rat whenever I read Pluggers and recognise myself in it. Damn you Brookins, why do you have to make Pluggerisms so general that everyone has to share in this pain? Have you no soul?

Heathcliff, 5/22/2009Which one? The cat or the dangerous lunatic in the tutu? Gramps really needs to remember to take his meds.

The Lockhorns, 5/26/2009
Usually the Lockhorns aren't that difficult to understand. The wife and the husband hate each other beyond the point of reconciliation. They would like to leave the marriage but now they stay out of spite to one another. Each one knows that they won't be able to find someone else if they get a divorce and they are also acutely aware that they are now damaged goods and would destroy whomever is foolish enough to fall in love with them at this stage in their life. So now the only happiness they find is in hurting each other. They even include their friends and neighbors in their personal descents into madness, a kind of game ala Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?.

But the focus of this comic doesn't seem to be about their horrible, horrible relationship. I think its a thinly veiled joke about Jesus. You know, the Carpenter ants and how they don't know when they'll come back. I'd say three days my good man. Maybe Loretta represents Mary Magdalene, she's a like hooker since she takes Leroy's money in exchange for the prostitution instilled in the institution of marriage. And Leroy represents Judas, because he's an asshole.

Well that's all for this week folks. Be good to one another and remember to wash your army issued underwear! Good night y'all!
