Hostess Fruit Pies?

Okay, so I don't really have a good excuse for missing the past few weeks of me supposedly doing Thursday and Friday. Let's chock it up to latent emotional problems made worse by the change in seasons. The Meekrat Entertainment Group has updated more or less regularly, though, and I return to you a disheveled mess of a human being. Let's get down to some comic stripping.

Sally Forth

Once upon a time, Sally Forth was pretty dire. Just your standard Mary Tyler Moore-esque comic strip, except with the comic strip usual family dynamic added in. For years, it simply sat there, being on no one's radar and never being particularly good. However, one day, they decided to give Ted a personality, and what a personality it was! Once a bland husband, Ted became extremely geeky, and with this geekiness came some mild humor and the strip became readable. And so it has remained. I pretty much only put this here for the shout-out to the Hostess Fruit Pie ads of yesteryear, which actually encompassed all of their items. You can find a pretty comprehensive collection of them here, but be warned that there's some salty language accompanying them. In case that sort of thing offends you.

Spider-Man
Photobucket
On a semi-related note, I was quite displeased when I found out that the vampire in this Spider-Man storyline was going to be Morbius and not Lugo Belosi. Of course, Belosi might still pop up as Morbius is apparently not a vampire anymore. Does anyone else think it's hilarious that he's claiming to have lost all traces of his vampirism long ago when he obviously has fangs? Silly Morbius! Hopefully you'll use those fangs to sink into a Hostess Fruit Pie.

Ted is actually pretty cool.
They should drop Sally from that strip and just call it "Ted" from now on.
