So comics distributed by King Features Syndicate colored a majority of their strips pink today to make people more aware about breast cancer. If you haven't donated to one of the many breast cancer charities out there then you should probably get around to doing that. Anyway, here are the comics.
Mutts 10/10/10
Mutts was one of the few strips that brought attention to it being pink. Like always, Mutts made my eyes roll in their "this strip has so much potential" way. The few strips to actually mention the pink-ness I didn't really like. At least My Cage got it right.
My Cage 10/10/10
See?
Todd the Dinosaur 10/10/10
This one made me laugh out loud. I love how cat and dog food are the foods of choice when someone is poor and can't afford to buy something to eat. Cat food and dog food are kind of expensive. You can get a dozen eggs for about dollar or so less than a can of pet food.
The Family Circus 10/10/10
Our last pink comic of the day forces you to think of Thel Keane getting a mammogram. Go on. Embroider it on the back of your eyelids.
Dick Tracy 10/10/10
I fantasize a lot about how Dick Tracy will die. Usually, it's an inside job and Internal Affair refuses to investigate but I never thought 'murdered by hobos' would be part of the equation.
Adam @ Home 10/10/10
My mom made the exact same joke earlier. Is my mom really the cartoonist for Adam @ Home? It would make sense except I'm pretty sure she knows pay phones are now 50 cents and are rare.
Ziggy 10/10/10
Why would opportunity knock in the middle of the night. This is one of the most depressing Ziggys in a long time.
So Ziggy wears pajama pants but not real pants?
Born Loser 10/10/10
I would imagine tea cozy sales would go down during a recession and a bad economy. I just don't see how being nice will get people to buy more tea cozies though.

MyCanceled: Okay...if by "got it right" means "thought readers were too stupid to figure it out or read about it elsewhere." Only the grotesque Mallard Fillmore was more obnoxious about the issue. (And who could hope to compete with Mallard's "Sure, go get a mammogram, but this is dumb because something else kills more people! Stupid liberals are stupid!" approach?)
The simplicity and composition of Mutts makes you roll your eyes over its "missed potential," but you prefer the crowded talking-head blatherfest of MyClunk? ...Sheesh.
Dink Tracy: Ignoring for the moment Tracy's severely deformed pointin' arm (a staple of the strip in its current sad state), and sudden burst of pointless, unwarranted swearing...Did I miss the part where a crime has been committed?
Unless D'Buggerduck tattooed and murdered a hobo in order to assume his "identity" or swiped all the money he's tossing around, Tracy's wasting time and resources and I hope the other hobos stomp his head.
Note that Ziggy's clothes dresser is mere steps from the front door, and that there is almost no other furniture to be seen.
As if we hadn't already guessed that Ziggy lives in a crummy 300-square-foot basement efficiency apartment that he can barely afford.
