Oops.

So, I sort of totally forgot about last week, what with all the fiction I've been posting on my own site and the little bird that's been following me around telling me I will never again know happiness. What you gonna do, though? I'll tell you what: you're gonna read some commentary.

Brevity

Putting a random reference to a superhero in your comic strip is a sure-fire way to get me to at least notice it, but putting Stretch Armstrong in there, too? Well, I have to spread the word about that, I do. Poor army guy, though.

My Cage

It's a shame about My Cage, it really is. Hopefully its creators will be able to land on their feet, or perhaps enter the world of webcomics? As for today's comic, I'd be much more concerned about the fact that Jeff is somehow able to exist outside of water for long periods of time. Is he like Silver Age Aquaman?

Crankshaft

Crankshaft has obviously gone insane, and I might have, too, considering I've never heard this line of "Pop Goes the Weasel" anywhere ever.

Beetle Bailey

It's always fun to see comic strips posting their older strips, because a lot of the time, they're worlds better than what they're running now. I realize that ol' Mort probably got bored and lazy with the strip years ago, and so he'll never do another gag where people actually have to move around, but I think Beetle Bailey could do with a lot more physical humor that's more than Sarge beating the living daylights out of Beetle for unseen infractions. Things more like this strip, where the violence is the punchline.
