Friday Night Comics

Candorville 4/3/09

You might be saying to yourself "I sure wish there is something I could do to help Bryce at the DCR out besides donating money to his pledge drive to improve the site. Damn I'm poor." Well you're in luck! Michael Cavna runs Comic Riffs for the Washington Post and we would love nothing more than to be featured in his faves under "fan sites". Go follow Mikey on twitter and send him a message about how great the DCR is and how he should add it to his site! Go out to the world Devotees, and show your might!


Adam at Home 4/1/09

If Adam was an alcoholic instead of a caffeine fiend, this particular strip - and indeed the comic as a whole, would be exponentially more entertaining. He's already got the look down in panel 4, just draw a PBR bottle in his hand instead of that old coffee mug.


Wee Pals 4/3/09

"That crazy little cracka's head would explode if he knew about my defying of racial stereotypes." At least Jerry didn't say something to Randy about malt liquor or friend chicken. Thanks Dave Chappelle and Reno 911.


Archie 4/3/09

What on God's green earth are Betty and Veronica practicing? Did dry vertical swimming become an official high school sport? Don't forget to vote in our poll for worst comic of March on the left sidebar of the site!

The DCR is Fully Armed and Operational: Commence Primary Ignition

Before we get to the review, did you all notice the amazing new banner we have at the Daily Comics Review? Our good friend (dare we make that assumption) Steven Cloud of Boy on a Stick and Slither fame offered to create this piece of art for the website and we couldn't be happier! On last time, thanks so very much Steven! On to the comics.

Amazing Super Powers 3/30/09

Top 5 ways to receive a favorable review on the DCR:
1: Make a funny and original comic
2: Boobies
3: Make misogynistic, sexist jokes in jest.
4: Be Jeffrey Rowland
5: .........boobies.


Archie 3/30/09

That's really more of a forehead book. Betty has a t-shirt on with a bear that has a stick in his eye and is sticking it's tongue out. The logo, along with the tattered edge along her stomach is signaling a return to Trailer Park Chic fashion; I should have probably left this one for Stella. If there was a fourth panel today I'm sure it would have been Archie saying "Well Betty how about some Facecrotch time?"


Gil Thorpe 3/30/09

The funny thing about today's Gil Thorpe comic strip is that if in some alternate universe sexual intercourse became a team sport, it would make just as much sense. Is Gil getting ready to karate chop his TV in panel 3?


Least I Could Do 3/27/09

If you enjoy cross-overs in comics then this next week in LICD should be one for the record books. If you aren't reading this web comic already, now is a great time to start! Message to Ryan North: the sooner you create a T-Rex action figure, the sooner this miniature sized T-Rex hole in my heart can be filled.

Holidays Are Over--Get Back to Work

I, too, hope you all had a good holiday week (Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day--whatever floats your boat).  I've been doing some work on my own site, Watch This Space at www.tauycreek.com.  Please check it out and let me know what you think.  I'm thinking of adding more so just stayed tuned.

Baby Blues 12/26/08

I'm tired of the economic crisis seeping into my daily comics.  I'm getting sick of the economic crisis period and want either 1)everything to get fixed and working properly again (not likely) or 2)the country to sink into the ocean (better probability).

Crankshaft 12/26/08
I'm assuming Ol'Cranky either wanted the woman or the dog to go away.  Is he looking at the dog or the wishbone?  Why is the dog barking at the old woman?  Is the dog Crankshaft's?  And will Crankshaft notice that the old woman is slowly reaching for the craving knife?

Hi & Lois 12/26/08

The Flagstons have been stuck in this traffic jam so long that they missed Christmas.  But I would be more worried about that car about the T-bone them in the last panel.

Archie 12/26/08
A little Photoshop fun with an Archie comic.  And for you purists, here's the original strip.
You'd think Pop Tate would put up a sign telling the Riverdale punks not to fondle and fornicate in his chok'lit shoppe.  But then you have to think that Pop gets off on it.

Family Circus 12/26/08
OHMIGOD!!  IT'S A DEMON CHILD!!  Don't go over there, Daddy!!  She's twisted her whole head around and then she's going to eat your soul!!  Where's your precious god now, Keane family?  WHERE IS HE NOW!!?!!

The Better Half 12/26/08
True story:  My last girlfriend and I were friends on Facebook but she never approved that she was in a relationship with me.  When she finally did, she only did to indicate that we had broken up and then remove me as a friend.  She then broke up with me.

Good times, good times.

Once again, check out my site, Watch This Space at www.tauycreek.com.

Saturday Comics Review

Haven't posted here for a while but made myself a promise to do so this week. So onward to the comics.

Snuffy Smith 10/25/08

Those birds will now feel the wrath of a cigar-less Snuffy. May God have mercy on them.

Bleeker, the Rechargeable Dog 10/25/08

So Mom and Dad are going to pay an extra ten dollars a month and get crappier service?

The Lockhorns 10/25/08

Actually, Leroy looks like a little kid who wasn't able to get a ring pop at the checkout stand.

Archie 10/25/08

Yep, I know when I was in high school I couldn't wait for fall so I could jump in the leaves. The Archie Joke Generating Unit-3000 really knows what kids today want.

Pluggers 10/25/08

The value menu? That move will cost him, now he only gets over-the-shirt action.

Speed Bump 10/25/08

Now that the chickens have learned to fly, they will start their revenge on KFC, Church's and Popeye's.

The New Adventures of Queen Victoria 10/25/08

I don't know. Those Ziggy fans are pretty rough. I misplaced their keys one time and they uprooted a mighty sequoia.

The Saturday Comic Snippet 7/19/08

This was the best week Daily Comics Review has had so far as readership has roughly doubled from last week. Hopefully the trend will continue and more and more people will find the site and enjoy our daily comics ramblings. You probably already know the drill with Saturday comics - they almost always suck - so we bring you two today and we'll see you tomorrow for the Sunday funnies.


F Minus 7/19/08

Hopefully Tony Carillo is optioning this idea to Hollywood. Crazy Office Monkey will be hitting theaters summer 2009. The trailer is freakin awesome!


Archie 7/19/08

I've got to upgrade, my phone can't even do Photo Album. On the plus side, Archie has the least offensive representation of someone named Raj in comics; kudos on the racial transcendence.

There are Still Funny Comics! 7/16/08

Today we've got continuity issues, color problems and failed satire followed up by incorrect sound effects, sexual economy and dick jokes. Who would have thought all this goodness could show up in just one day in the comics? This has been a landmark week for print comics and web comics and this blog! Google has been giving me great page ranking and more and more people find DCR every day. Welcome to all our new readers and thanks to everybody that comes and reads my comics ramblings every day.


XKCD 7/16/08

An illustration of the perfect web comic today with XKCD. It is so simple and elegant with just enough inappropriateness to keep it out of the newspapers.


Mark Trail 7/16/08

Besides breaking the comic strip rule of show (draw) instead of tell (write it out), a gun would only be making a WHAM! sound if Cherry was smashing Kelly Welly in the skull with it. You wouldn't find anybody opposed to that idea, but instead the artist went the family friendly route. Next time I'd just go with BLAM! for that classic gun sound effect touch.


Herd And Jamaal 7/16/08

Who labels their coffee mugs with their names? This must be a result of Sarah going overboard after she found Herb wearing her undergarments. "How was I supposed to know they were YOUR panties?" And the rest is history, thanks to the label gun.


Jack Ohman 7/16/08

How can you write about comics and not comment about the hoopla surrounding the New Yorker's Barack Obama cover? My answer is to post this comic as a cop-out and not say anything else!


We The Robots 7/16/08

The robot overlord boss strongly reminds me of the amazing game Portal from Valve. There's also something about dancing robots you can't ignore.


Barney Google & Snuffy Smith 7/16/08

Things we can learn from today's BG&SS:
1-Cartoonists and colorists have communication problems.
2-Whoever colors the strip hates it so much they don't even bother to read the dialog.
3-Peppermint fixes stomach cramps?


Archie 7/16/08

I'm sorry but did something happen in Archie today? I apologize for asking but I was distracted by THE GIANT CAMELTOE in all 3 panels. There are some contours you're just not supposed to draw - especially in a family friendly comic like Archie claims to be.


Diesel Sweeties web comic 7/16/08

It's the biggest comic we've ever featured on DCR but it needed to be done. Richard Stevens hits the perfect mix of business/economics lingo and body objectification to satisfy my inner BA nerd needs. It is rare, even in web comics, to see so much dialog that actually ends up being worth your time once you get done reading it. So read it already!
