Chomp Chomp

All I want to do is post a bunch of comics at the DCR but for some reason the people at Comics.com feel that people don't read the comics until the late afternoon, early evening. When I first signed up at Comics.com, the strips were sent out between 2 and 3 in the morning, then it got later until I was receiving the email between 9 and 10 in the morning. Now I don't get the email until between 2 and 5. But enough ranting about technology, onto the comics.

Wee Pals and One Big Happy 1/12/10


Both these comics feature a guest appearance by popular sound effect "chomp" today. Neither of which is helped by this.

Also, does the joke in Wee Pals become less racist because it's a kid saying it or because the cartoonist is African-American?

Mary Worth 1/12/10

Yes, all kids without fathers turn out to be horrible, horrible people. I mean, look at me. I am a decent husband and father who spends his free time blogging about comic strips. Who knows where I could be with a father figure in my life.

Why does Kurt seem to be getting more hopped up and scruffier as the week progresses?

Beetle Bailey 1/12/10

Where did Lt. Fuzz get those General clothes? More importantly, where did he get the stars, bars and medals?

Red and Rover 1/12/10

So are we to believe that isn't a Twinkie he's going to eat but get your generic cream-filled sponge cake?

Family Circus 1/12/10

"If you two don't calm down I will park this car by a lake, get out, release the parking brake and watch the car roll backwards into the water!"

Comics.com finally sent the email so here are some strips from Comics.com.

Flight Deck 1/12/10

And it took you this long to figure it out? You couldn't just press your ear to the door and listen for Ray Romano's nasally voice?

Arlo & Janis 1/12/10

Arlo compliments his wife in weird ways. Why can't he just say "I love you" like normal guys? If you have to think about where the compliment might be, it's not really a compliment.

Herman 1/12/10

Who paints their floor? It should've been "mopped" or "waxed".

Pickles 1/12/10

I love when stuff spontaneously combusts.

Frazz 1/12/10

Frazz is supposedly to be a pretty smart comic strip but I've noticed several strips where Jeff Mallett has opted to change something for the sake of a joke. Today it's "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". Goldilocks wasn't upset about having to eat porridge, she was upset because the first two she tried were too hot and too cold. She did eat Baby Bear's porridge because it was "just right". Goldilocks shouldn't be upset at anything. She committed a B&E and trespassed and the Bears didn't press charges.
