Dark Roasted Death
Hey everyone! Zachary the Stupid Inventor here with today's comic review! For some reason there's a lot of death in the strips today.... let's begin shall we?
Argyle Sweater: Not such a great gag, I post it here because I'm curious why the cartoonist felt to make a world where humans and living coffee beans live side-by-side, as opposed to a "just living beans" world. In fact it would seem funnier to me if the line was delivered by a fellow bean and there was just a giant coffee pot in the room... what do you guys think?
Scary Gary: I'm not such a fan of this strip in general, I only post this because I think Anne Boleyn is a weird choice for "beheaded historical figure". I would have gone with Marie Antoinette, no?
Pickles: Although credit card companies don't really make such mistakes in real life, this does seem like a fun storyline and I'm curious to see where it goes.
Brewster Rockit: One of my favorite strips, I just love the Detective Donut character, I hope he doesn't get eaten by the end of the week!
That's it for me, see you next time!

The Argyle Sweater joke is a chuckle worth idea that falls apart on closer scrutiny. It should be all coffee beans, but then the crematorium director would be a cannibal. There's also the all coffee beans are roasted anyway and you don't turn them into coffee by burning them to ashes. Perhaps they should have gone to a creamatorium or a cream-and-sugaratorium.
Also I think Anne Boleyn was the first beheaded figure I learned of as a kid. She's got a ghost story and children's rhyme.
I like the Argyle gag as is, makes the funeral director seem even more heartless. the cannibale aspect would be too much to process and steal from the gag
i think anne boleyn works fine .. so does marie.
where I really disagree is the Pickles, nothing fun about it. The Xmas tree lights gag is older than Larry King being old gags.
