The Return of... oh, forget it.
Meekrat Entertainment Group. Plug out of the way, all right, on to the commentary!
Free Range
I admire this comic strip for having the guts to do a joke about "The Scarlet Letter", especially doing one in such a subtle manner. It reminds me of something "Far Side" would have done. Is it a particularly good joke? No, but still, kudos for trying to class up the joint.
Girls and Sports
As much as I hate the guys in this strip, the girls seem all right, especially when they're exacting revenge against the guys. I can't tell if that's what's actually happening here, but come on, it's implied that she and that other woman spent an hour being amazed by a spork. A Crate and Barrel spork, no less. Perhaps "Girls and Sports" takes place in some alternate time-line where sporks were just recently invented? No idea, and that's about all the time I want to spend talking about it.
Marmaduke
I fully realize that other, more capable souls, comment upon Marmaduke regularly. Did none of them notice the phrasing in today's panel? Usually, one bemoans the fact that they were unable to change someone in the context of a relationship, which pretty much means that Marmaduke's owner's wife thinks she's dating Marmaduke. I could be reading far too much into it (in fact, the odds are pretty much 1:1) but still.
Herb and Jamaal
Later that night, Herb skinned Jamaal and fashioned him into a coat. When asked where he got the coat, he simply replied, "A friend."

You know what's quickly becoming my personal obsession concerning Girls and Sports? The number on the jersey. Sure, a cursory glance at any G&S strip will tell you the "artist" is a gobbing incompetent, but that copypasted number perfectly captures the "Aw! I don't give a $%#@!!" attitude with which he infuses every strip.
But what can one expect from a jerkstore who thinks the ancient "blind date in which a hot girl's sister turns out to be an adopted obese hunchback with a splayed tooth" gag is even remotely amusing?
