Hmm, it appears that my DCR writer friends have forgotten to post the past couple of days. It also seems that I have forgotten to post on Saturday. I have no excuse. On with the comic blurbs.
Marvin:
Old yearbooks can be a source of endless entertainment. I enjoyed looking at my dad's old high school yearbook. Oddly enough, he looked like Paul from "The Wonder Years." Yes, nerdy and with big, thick glasses. Actually, now that I think about it, it's kind of sad.
F-Minus:
Yes! And we'll give it better seats, with backs, and change the handlebars for a wheel... Oh, and of course, only one side will be able to steer. It would also probably be more efficient to take the engines out of the cycles and just put one in front. Oh, wouldn't it be great if it had more than two seats? And a trunk in the back to put stuff in? And it will have to have a radio, and some A/C and heat. Oh! And cup holders. Can't forget those. When it rains, there will need to be some way to wipe the glass on the front of it...
Yes, it will be great! We'll call it a "car."
Snuffy Smith:
...even though Snuffy's obviously been in there longer than you have. Only three days, though. Hey, where'd they get those pens from, anyway? Aren't they supposed to scratch the marks into the wall? Prisons are so cushy these days.
Deflocked:
That's disgusting. I wouldn't give this kid any candy if I saw him coming up to my door. Well... maybe I would, but not if he was one of those greedy kids who didn't even say "thank you" after you give them something. I don't have to give you anything, you know.
Speaking of Iron Man, I went as him once. Of course, I just put an ironing board on my back and carried around an iron, but I was still Iron Man.
Agnes:
Unfortunately, not only does the metaphor not work, it isn't even a metaphor. He used "like," which makes it a simile. If he said "The mind is a sock drawer," it would be a metaphor.
So, next week, we discuss the differences between allegories, parables, and fables. Don't be late!

I didn't forget on Friday. The only thing I could find to comment on was "Love Is" and I thought the world could do without an essay about how I believed it was actually a series of passive-aggressive notes from a bitter wife to a thoughtless husband.
"The Daily Comics Review" also got mentioned in "My Cage" on Sunday, in case you didn't see.
