While I Breathe, I Hope

There's going to be some new stuff up at my own site starting on April 1st so you should go check it out. My writing is not going very good but what I do for mindless procrastination is going swimmingly. Onto the Sunday comics.

Soup to Nutz 3/28/10

In elementary school I was in a spelling bee and the word I got was "gaudy" and I had never heard that word before because I was only seven or eight. So I spelled it "g-o-d-d-y" and lost. I have yet to live it down and it happened twenty damn years ago.

Henry 3/28/10

Oh, sweet Lord. This is more disturbing than I ever thought possible. I need to go wash my eyes out with bleach now. Be right back.

Amazing Spider-Man 3/28/10

Yeah! You know what this means? New York can get along just fine without Spider-Man or Peter Parker because there are over a dozen other heroes that can pick up the slack.

Dipshit.

Real Life Adventures 3/28/10

The thing is, I think a lot of the teabaggers are already pretty drunk. We're just lucky they aren't armed......this time.

Pluggers 3/28/10

Do they only deserve every penny because they have dangerous jobs or because their job is to paint flagpoles? I'm guessing the latter.

Also, South Carolina? The state where their governor uses tax payer money to fly down to Argentina to visit his mistress, the lieutenant governor compared poor people (re: black people) to stray animals and people routinely have sex with horses? Yeah, that's patriotic.

Family Circus 3/28/10

I'm 95% certain that the adults in the Keane Kompound have received their Census form but just wrote "None of Your Business" across it in a thick, black Sharpie which resulted in getting a visit from a Census worker but I have other issues with this comic.

I currently work for the Census and first of all, it doesn't ask for your occupation. Second, Census workers now use computers. I realize Bil probably remembers when the Census asked how many slaves you own but all this stuff can easily be looked up.

And now for two comics that I don't understand:
Birdbrains and Bound and Gagged 3/28/10


Did that crow marry a scarecrow or am I missing something? Also, if Red Riding Hood was "packing heat", wouldn't that be just a gun? Did Red shoot the wolf in the arm and the ear or does this comic strip person not know what that phrase means? I'm mainly baffled by the crow-slash-divorce attorney comic.

Today's post is brought to you by the South Carolina Visitor's Bureau: "Please visit. Please? We also gave you Dizzy Gillespie, Jasper Johns and Stephen Colbert so you owe us!" Want to sponsor a post? Get a hold of me somehow, like email: east_of_eden1983[at]yahoo.com.
