Wednesday is hump day. That means my vacation (and the kids school vacation) is half-over. Let's see what cartoonists had trouble getting over the hump, and who flew over the hump like a teenager in a Trans Am going 35 miles over the speed limit:
Zack Hill by John Deering:
Wait, I'm confused. Is this guy a Kansas City sports fan or a Cleveland sports fan? The red shirt on the male adult seems a little Arrowhead red, but the child's orange hair seems a little Cleveland Browns burnt orange. Being from Boston and a sports fan (BostonSportPage.com is how I post--that's my sports blog page, and I never went and set up a new account log in...ok, I'm rambling) kids these days have no idea what it was like having a run terrible football teams, historically collapsing baseball teams, horrid hockey squads, and basketball teams from best of all-time reduced to rubble, but all at once. Boston was a laughingstock in sports, and now has turned it around in all four major sports and the fan base is spoiled rotten by their success. In fact, it'd be better if there was not so much....oh, God, I almost got through it without collapsing in humor. Fans spoiled by success is great! Why do you think Boston sports fans hated New York and all their success. Losing sports teams suck. Sorry, Cleveland and Kansas City, I feel your sports-pain and truly hope your fortune improves.
One Big Happy by Rick Detorie:
Besides, I tried giving you two twerps away, but the kidnappers kept giving you back no matter how much we begged them to keep you both.
Lio by Mark Tatulli:
Today's Lio by Mark Tatulli is the greatest comic strip ever! Do it, Lio! Launch those insufferable Keane Kompound brats into the stratosphere. Oh crap, where's that insufferable Jeffy one? Wait, wait, for the love of God, we need all four at once! Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
Herb and Jamaal by Stephen Bentley:
In college, I was all T.S. Eliot all the time. Thesis, articles, reports, anything I had to write, it was dragging old Thomas Stearns Eliot (of the Boston Eliot's) into it. None of this William Carlos Williams or Ezra Pound bologna (like other Liberal Arts major friends of mine who will go unmentioned...<<cough, cough-Gallagher-cough, cough>>...but why is Herb and Jamaal quoting Eliot in reference to his attempted pick-up. So how far is Jamaal (I think the long, bald head guy is Jamaal) going here. Just what is his proposition that crossed the line? Look at him in panel two. It's anal. Yup, Jamaal went there. Pretty racy for the funny pages.

I like to think that li'l Jeffy has already been squashed between the Keane ball o' fun and the end of the see-saw.
I like the way you think, bats! :p Thanks for reading and for the comment, I appreciate it.
