Catching up on some of the comics here as I dared to take off a day this week and then focused on Valentine's Day in yesterday's post:
9 Chickweed Lane by Brooke McEldowney 2/13, 2/14 & 2/15:
I have 9 Chickweed Lane here not because it is particularly funny or interesting (I'm really just glad the musician page-turning humor is over) but to especially highlight Brooke McEldowney's fantastic art. Not just the female form he draws so well (though for that, I usually check out his other strip, Pibgorn, which is pretty creative in its layout and art--see today's entry below). Although a cartoon style, his backgrounds, color, and angles show so much more depth than the average strip. I have no idea who the raven-haired lady is, and the light brown haired lady is the protagonist's mother, but, whatever, its still better than page-turner for attractive, young, female protagonist can't turn the pages for whatever reason. Here's Pibgorn today:
Not a clue what is going on here, but very creative, colorful, well-drawn, and all around fantastic artwork, for sure.
Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts:
Yah, I would TOTALLY do that. Working Daze is a comic about IT workers in an office with a non-IT boss. So, yeah, kinda like a one-panel Dilbert but with characters who look like people. I would so rock the Spider-man costume at work, though, if I could get away with it. You go, Roy! (Hah, I snuck Superhero comics references in the blog again. Ha-ha! Bryce should be glad I'm not expounding on my views on Spider-man costumes throughout the comics and then talking about how much I hated the black costume as a kid when Secret Wars came out and stopped buying the comic, then as I got older as a teen I ended up buying them all anyway.)
Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich:
When I first read this comic, I had to go back and re-read it. Then I realized the guy without glasses was talking about golf (doesn't live in the snow-coated Northeast, for sure!) and that I have a terrible, filthy mind.
Pluggers by Gary Brookins:
So these "Pluggers" are the ones who are destroying the United States economy by raising drains on economy who have their own little drains on the economy. Good information to know. These "Pluggers" need a dose of Judge Smails addressing his nephew Spaulding in the classic movie CaddyShack:
Spalding Smails: I want a hamburger. No, cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...[gets cut off by Judge Smails]
Judge Smails: You'll get nothing, and like it!
Maintaining by Nate Creekmore:
When I worked in recruiting and career management, I had to dress up in a suit everyday (or minimum, shirt & tie with slacks...no jeans or casual looking clothes). So when I would get home and the wife and I would go out (to the mall, clothing store, department store, etc), inevitably the above would happen to me (I must have given off a "retail store manager" vibe). I would do crap like that all the time, it drove the wife nuts! Fortunately, my current work doesn't require I dress up, so she's safe from my sophomoric humor (at least in this situation).

OK, folks. Friday night! Have a great night and weekend!
