Dude, it's a bear!

It's Wednesday again, which means it's time for some more comics review brought to you by Peter.

Get Fuzzy

How is Satchel familiar with a Goya painting? I thought he is supposed to be dumb as rocks. Rob is often seen smacking his head is disbelief at having to explain another common expression to his linguistically challenged pets. Now one of them is putting together artsy-fartsy costumes. The inconsistency of the characters knowledge base is one of my few gripes about this strip.

The Argyle Sweater

Question: Why is there a shotgun blast in the tent? Was this man supposed to be firing through the fabric? I don't think that gun could even fit in there.

Break of Day

Insomnia and a paralyzing self-awareness? Check. The mental capacity to count sheep? Not so much. Yeah, this kid's development is coming along just nicely.

The Grizzwells

How does this strip manage to mangle such an easy pun? The final panel implies that his bear cousin is bisexual (referencing a classic Seinfeld episode in the process). If bipolar disorder is too sensitive a subject to make light of in a comic strip why bother with the stupid pun in the first place?

Rubes

The depressed/irritated look on Scarecrow's face suggests that he is not "clearing his head" or meditating, but rather his floppy, straw-filled limbs have become twisted and stuck, and instead of helping him out of his predicament, his "friends" are using the opportunity to poke fun of his mental deficiencies yet again. It won't be long before he snaps and kills them all.

Dude and Dude

Kind of funny. But I hate the cut-and-paste artwork. Dude, spend some time drawing your strip! There are cartoonists out there that fully illustrate multiple strips a day. If you don't have the time, have one of them do it.
