Nondescript Tuesday
Today is a meh kind of day. Meh weather. Meh comics.
The Good
Calvin and Hobbes, 1/18/2011
On the bright side, Calvin and Hobbes has been running the “Snow Goon Saga.” Until today’s suck fest of freezing rain it was pretty appropriate for the weather, and is also one of my favorite Calvin story lines.
Funky Winkerbean, 1/18/2011
As far as Funky Winkerbean goes, the current storyline about Wally getting a service dog has been pretty good. (Of course, I may be a little biased when it comes to anything involving dogs.) With regards to today’s strip, all service dogs (regardless of breed or size) are allowed to ride with their humans on planes in the U.S. So today’s strip is a little off with regards to the flight attendant’s reaction to Buddy. Then again, airline personnel aren’t universally recognized for having a clue when it comes to such matters.
I also doubt that they train “down” to mean “hide under a seat”, but that’s the trainer in me talking. It’s a day in Funky Winkerbean and no one died or was emotionally scarred. Let’s declare victory and move on.
The Bad
The Amazing Spider-Man, 1/18/2011
After a couple of homages to Kirby, the monster was reduced to a cowed ruin by a swat on the nose and we are now in the process of chickening out from the marriage of Aunt May and the Mole Man. My money is on some environmental condition preventing May from living underground.
Bliss, 1/18/2011
Because complete tools are always hilarious.
Speaking of Tools
Girls and Sports, Who Cares
The real question is, how does a guy who spends all night watching College Basketball and Sportscenter meet girls, let alone a wife?

Is there a joke of any kind in "Bliss"?
Actually, there is a joke there. I've been to a writers convention... and that's exactly how you feel when the "pros" are telling you how to write.
