The DCR: A Return!
OK, let me try this again. Comic strips are running unchecked. Snark is missing from my life. The Daily Comics Review needs to lurch back to life like an online Frankenstein. I'm taking my cue from the always witty reader & commenter BeckoningChasm and stating that "Daily" refers to whatever planet I happen to be on at the time (not necessarily a 24 hour cycle).
Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II:
Damn it, Ziggy, the Parrot is simply waiting for you drop to feast upon remains like a vulture...it doesn't care about any "parrot news".
Adam@Home by Brian Basset:
Old Potato Nose Adam Newman ("Hello, Newman") lacks a lot of things, Katy. If this comic kept going on and on instead of ending in panel four Laura would be listing them and poor Katy staring in disbelief that this was the life her mother chose. Then the strip would wrap-up with a little mother-daughter special moment where Laura tells Katy that she has a secret life outside the family with Maurice, her long-time lover and biological parent to her and Clayton.
9 Chickweed Lane by Brooke McEldowney:
See, I take some time off from this blog and McEldowney goes nuts while he's unchecked. What the heck is going on here (Yes, McEldowney is using any excuse possible to display Edda and Amos in provocative poses--I mean, why else does anyone read this comic?), but this is kinda kooky and last week was just bizarre, even for 9 Chickweed Lane standards.
That said, I do like that the computer in the final panel looks like a "modern" flat screen (even if the telephone screams 1994). My kids (10 + 12) would have no idea what that telephone was supposed to be...they've never seen anything that shape before in their life.
9 to 5 by Harley Schwadron:
I worked for a company once where everyone was a Vice President (except for me, of course--but I did get to be a Director of nobody and no one). I would have liked to been appointed Baron of Bacon (bagels have too many carbs!).
I do have to say that I was drawn to the noses here...and then I saw the lady at that table was the only one with an eyeball and got kind of freaked out.
