It Ain't Easy Being Green
Hey everyone, Zachary the Stupid Inventor here. My apoligies for the really late post. I was away from my computer all day yesterday, and since it's a review of that day's comics, I couldn't write it earlier.... oh well, next we should be back to the regular posting time!
The Bad:Girls And Sports: I usually try not to feature this comic in the Bad section because it's just so consistently bad that it's just too easy to always feature it... but believe me, even though it's not here every week, it's almost always bad...
The Wizard of Id: This is a horrible strip and a HUGE nitpick. When I first read it I didn't get it at all, but then I re-read it in my local paper, and in my paper the Apple seller is colored Green! It's supposed to be the witch from Snow White. The joke still doesn't make sense though, I mean if her apples are poison she should be in jail.... So the joke is lame and makes no sense, and the drawing of the Witch is so bad, you don't see the wart on the nose and the hat is to similar to the standard peasant hat.... all in all I was amazed by this strips incompetence....
NitpicksDrabble: The joke is ok, but "Balk" could just as closely resemble "Bark" as it does "Walk"... Wow, I totally over-analyze, no?
Strange Brew: I'm not animal expert, but don't sharks have like rows and rows of teeth? so a cavity or lost tooth is no biggie to them? I think you could have made the same joke better by having the Shark at the Shark doctor getting on the scale and the doctor saying the same line. Jut my humble unprofessional opinion of course...
The Good:
Rhymes With Orange: I don't know why, but I find the "Type-Os" cereal idea to be hilarious!
Brewster Rockit: This is my favorite comic strip that apparently noone knows about. Why this comic isn't in every newspaper worldwide is beyond me....Pearls Before Swine: I love a good meta strip, and Stephan Pastis is the master.... poor pig!
Ok, that's it for me, I'll be back next Wednesday with a comic review, on time!
Thanks,
Zachary

Hey one thing I can say about Girls & Sports is that it must be hard to consistently come up with jokes that are exclusively and simultaneously about girls and sports. I would have given up on the premise a long time ago and started making other jokes, but the creator stays true to the theme.
"Just Some Guy", what the hell are you talking about? This strip has nothing to do with sports, except that the guys name is "Clueless (not Shoeless) Joe Jackson". Not that I care about that, there is so much else to hate about "Girls and Sports".
