Friday Funnies

It's Friday!  Friday should be the best comics of the week...story lines wrapping up, highest readers other than stand-alone Sundays, and syndicates juggling dailies for the best of the bunch.  Here's five funnies for Friday:

Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen:

Here's an idea, you two fat twits: go to a Doctor and ask him about the effects of a high wheat diet.  If there was a Doctor who had half a brain, he'd tell tubby here that he was at risk for a number of health issues due to his weight and especially due to his shape and storing fat in his belly. Maybe he's been going to the same idiot Doctors I went to for years begging them to help me lose weight.  I remember one who said "take it easy on the McDonalds, y'know. Heck, you're skinnier than I am! Huh-hah."  Then I finally found a Doctor who actually knew a thing or two and one proper diagnosis later I'm 60 pounds lighter and 100 times healthier.  But, hey, what the heck, let green sweater here keep filling up on those empty carbohydrates until he drives up health premiums even higher. 


Bewley by Anthony Blades: 

I only put this one here because it reminded me of yesterday when I had my kids at their grandparents and we were sitting in the living room when we went to pick them up.  My 9 year-old daughter made a comment about marriage or something, and my 11 year-old son pipes up "well, first you need to learn how to stimulate a man." IN FRONT OF HIS GRAND-PARENTS!  He later explained it as "I learned it in health class", but my parents had a heck of a laugh over that conversation. But like this comic, that's how I felt. "Good idea, son. Tell me all about the birds and bees!"


Close to Home by John McPherson:

Anyone who has ever worked in a call center will enjoy this Close to Home.  Hearing "I was on hold for XX minutes, what the #*@&^% are 'you people' doing there?"  I like to think that all of those options in the comic are running through their head.  


Love Is... by Kim Casali, conceived by and drawn by Bill Asprey;

Wait.  What??? Does that..wow. Follow your heart, don't go black? Is that the message? Black thoughts?  Think love, not black thoughts. How about "evil" instead, or something other than "black" that may have racial connotations. Is there an editor looking at these? Yeesh. 


Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler:

What are those the not nice words? She's showing him out in the morning, right? Otherwise he'd be calling her on the phone or texting her.  So what's the story? Sexually incompatible? Selfish? (I'm trying so hard to be nice here and not type anything inappropriate here.)  Of course, I have no ideas about the relationship of these two individuals.  This could be a nosy neighbor asking about those "goat noises" he thought he heard.  Maybe this guy is just picking-up his carpooling co-worker and he saw who she was with at last call?  This comic just gets more and more interesting the more I think about it!


Have a great weekend, all!  Thanks as always for reading!
