The DCR: Saturday Specials - 09/07/2013

by Hal Bent

So much for "daily". This week got away from me in a hurry. Anyhow, no excuse for Saturday (only a half day at work, hooray!).  So without further ado, the Daily Comics Review (ooh, snappy. I might keep that!)

9 Chickweed Lane by Brooke McEldowney:

Umm, where the hell is her nose in panel three? I mean, its just gone. I feel like I should use the Futurama term and say that her "human horn" is missing.  Hmmm, maybe it is being used as an aphrodisiac on Omicron Persei Eight. 

Adam@Home by Brian Basset:
I've got to say, as much as I despise Adam, I have the utmost respect for his wife: Sure, she made a horrible decision to marry the balding, potato-nosed, annoying, cloying, non-funny, hairy slob, but she has conviction: she has far too much belief in the sanctity of marriage; she believes her children need a two-parent dynamic; and she gets plenty of "you-know-what" on the side. 
That said, are they drinking coffee at bedtime. I initially assumed it was tea, but I see no teabag label. Sure, it could be a situation where some nice tea was brewed and not just hot water with a bag, but who knows.  It could be decaf, sure. But why are they both drinking coffee (always spoken in reverent terms by the hideous title character) at this time of night?
Ahh, Adam's wife is off for a little "you-know-what" on the side until 5 am and Adam is going to roll up in a ball in the bedroom, watch some late night Cinemax, and cry all night long.  

Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II:
A great plan by "IHZ Airlines": create an airline to fly one flight. Market said flight to the pantsless, big schnozz loser that goes by Ziggy, have three parachutes for the captain, co-pilot and one flight attendant. Fly with the only passenger the airline ever marketed to: Ziggy. Take off and crash the plane into a mountain, but first scare the bejesus out of Ziggy. Perfect. 

The Norm by Michael Jantze:
Nahh, this guy is just stupid.

Okay, do you really need an arrow pointing the girl that says "blind date"?

The fact that he's on a blind date leads me to assume that he's searching and uncommitted, meaning you could just leave her unlabeled and people would guess it was a throwaway, one-time date.

But the extra, tiny text is kinda tacky.
