Still Recovering from The Storm

Yesterday's blizzard seems to have knocked the funny out of most of the comics.

Funny


You can almost always count on Pearls and Brewster to deliver.

I'm especially impressed with how Brewster is managing to not just get multiple strips out of a gag that might be just one strip for some, but multiple gags per day too.

While other strips struggle to wring laughs out of decades-old pop culture references, Liberty Meadows demonstrates effective and beautiful storytelling.

This is pretty funny.

Not Funny

Find the joke. It's hidden in there somewhere. I think.

Bread? The expression is "Wine, Women, and Song" Where did bread come from? Why not just "Giving up wine and women gives you nothing to sing about?" Too coherent?

For one thing, you could have written it bigger and the 4 or 5 people still alive that use this expression would have an easier time reading it.

Just stupid, really.

Maybe my interest in dogs and animal welfare is speaking here, but is this really even a little bit funny?

Dishonorable Mention

I've been holding off on commenting on the fact that Cathy immediately went into not just reruns, but "classic" reruns. Too easy. But when they drag up a Y2K joke for the holidays, it's time.

So...do you believe that Cathy went into reruns right away? So much for making room for new talent.

Cathy's only in reruns online. Where room is not an issue. Do the research, Matt.

My name's Eric, so I'll do more research if you do.

Sorry I was quoting Tom Cruise on the Today show.

Graffiti seems to be confusing the Omar Khayyam poem ("A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou") with the common expression "Wine, Women, and Song".

I don't like wine, so I'll just take the women, bread, and songs.
