Musings on a Baby Godzilla

You're stuck with my blatherings for two days again. You probably did something terrible yesterday, didn't you? Anyway, check out Carafe as well. It will be part of your penance.

Barkeater Lake, 02/18/10

The original Godzilla only came to New York once, in "Destroy All Monsters", which really needs a better United States DVD release. I'm guessing, though, that the movie they're talking about is the American "Godzilla" from 1998. Which would make more sense, really, since the Japanese Baby Godzilla only ate fruit or flowers, depending on which one it was, while the American Baby Godzilla ate people. Still, though, what sort of person would choose to reference the American Godzilla over the Japanese one?

One Big Happy, 02/18/10

I haven't used cursive for anything since eighth grade, save for my signature. And that's evolved into a barely legible squiggle. However, I've never sent out an e-mail saying "U R HOT. Let's hook up!" so I guess that's a win for cursive.

Dinosaur Comics, 02/18/10

I want to know about the rest of T-Rex's day, and what conspired to get him into a hot tub like that.

The Rack, 02/18/10

I really like the second panel here. Who knew selling hotcakes could be so lucrative?

Pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Comics Post!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I don't have any idea if Mike will be making a post but just in case I decided to pre-empt him with one a day early. BOOYA SPIDER-MAN GUY!

Nedroid 11/25/09

I'm thankful for xy and Mike, all our Project Wonderful advertisers and our amazing fans!

XKCD 11/24/09

Something about this time of year always reminds me of that damn ski game. Somebody needs to remake it in 3d or maybe make a full length motion picture based on it. Rainbow jumps, annoying snowboarders, logs, dogs and snow monsters!

The Middletons 11/25/09

So did you know this whole "turkey makes you sleepy" thing is total shit? Please enlighten yourself and everyone you know so we can stop these LIES! Here's an article backing it up.

Dinosaur Comics 11/25/09

In America it is easy to forget that not everywhere is the same as here. For example did you know in Canadia they don't even celebrate the fourth Thursday of November? Come on Canadia, get with the times already!

A Lot of Really Strange Comics

Watch Your Head 3/20/09

Watch Your Head borrows some style from Mark Trail today and brings us quite possibly the worlds first talking crotch on the funny pages. The truly disturbing thing is that from this angle, there is no way to tell what part of this man's anatomy is doing the berating.


Ben 3/20/09

Two lovers, in the last gasp before oblivion, reaching as hard as they can, just to express their undying affection and devotion. The moment, ruined by two stupid little boys.


Dinosaur Comics 3/19/09

We've been struggling with branding here at the DCR lately so maybe this is a good way to ask for your suggestions? What nickname would you give our little blog here? Bad people reviewing bad comics? Stupid crappy crap stuff? The Snark Department?


Mike Peters 3/20/09

We don't ever do editorial cartoons, largely because they're not funny. One sure-fire way to get noticed though is to cover a very famous person in an over-sized condom. Hilarious visual!


Medium Large 3/20/09

There's only one true Portland and it's the one I live in! That's right, fuck you Maine! This Tom guy is an idiot too, no one would ever make this mistake. EVER.

Is Dick Tracy's Real Name Richard?

Did you know you can now become a DCR follower? At the very bottom of our page you can see who is following us and also join their illustrious ranks. February has one more day remaining so there will be a new poll up next week where you can vote on the worst comic of the month - EXCITING! And last but not least my monthly plea for more writers! Do you read comics and think you might have something additional to contribute to the DCR? I am always looking to reduce the ammount of work I do on a day to day basis and even with my already amazing staff I am always looking to expand. Drop us an email - dailycomicsreview @ gmail.com

Dinosaur Comics 2/27/09

Thank you Ryan North! I promise right now I will NEVER use the verb sited in the above comic. Yes, we are now on twitter, and I have been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to promise to never use that stupid fake word; it looks like T-Rex has saved me again.


Dick Tracy 2/27/09

So instead of calling 911, Dick stands idly by and watches some horribly named villain-of-the-week burn to death inside her car while he blabs on and on about his car. Is Toyota sponsoring the strip now or something? Hybrids still burn you moron, and decent human beings don't just watch people turn in to ashes.


Cow and Boy 2/27/09

Unless you have been follow C&B all week you will have no idea what is going on here. I have been reading this strip and even still I have no idea what is going on. That's the beauty of Cow and Boy.


Momma 2/27/09

I know deep inside the joke here is about Momma's natural impulse to squash any happiness from her children's lives the moment it arises, but on the surface it's just about gay incest.

You Please to Read Now and Laugh Enjoyably

Ah, another happy Saturday. My life is overwhelmed by schoolwork, but I'll still take 10 minutes to bring you the Saturday Comics Review.

Frank & Earnest 2/17/09Ah yes, the pun. Comic strips best friend. Where would we be without the pun? Well, we might have some comic strips that actually try to make a joke.


Dinosaur Comics 2/19/09
Most. Awesome. Comic. Ever.

Please leave a comment if you have ever done anything that could possibly be described as "The Happy Swamping."


Frazz 2/18/09
Wait, they have instructions on Whoopie cushions? Why? Who doesn't know how to use one? I wonder how they read...

"Put lips that belong to you on the opening and blow to inflate Whoopie cushion. Insert onto chair of your choosing for to sit on and cause laughing upon making of the Whoopie cushion noise. Please enjoy Whoopie Cushion responsibly. Special Note: do not put Whoopie cushion on floor or we will find you and eat your dog."


Keen observers may have noticed that Webcomic of the Week has been absent the past few weeks. This is because I have little time. With any luck it shall return in the coming weeks.

The Return of the Big Boss

Dinosaur Comics 2/12/09

I'm back! I took 3 days off work last week to celebrate my birthday and get out of town with my awesome wife. Thanks to everybody who filled in for me while I was gone, I have the best staff in the world! When you share your birthday with Abraham Lincoln AND Charles Darwin, the chance that whatever you do in your life will earn you a holiday is relatively impossible. Anyway the DCR is back to the regular grind this week so be happy!


Slylock Fox 2/16/09

The proud, fearless fox. Scared bears and a clinging racoon. Webber makes such detailed and interesting drawings, I would love to see what he could do for a more edgy and adult audience.


Alley Oop 2/16/09

At first we think "Finally those god damned kids drawings are over!" but then we see they are just reprising what happened over the last week. How long will this take? The Benders are honestly THE laziest creators of any currently running comics strips, and if I knew more about the history of the funny pages I might comfortably claim they are the laziest in history.

Massive 4 Day Comic Strip Bonanza

So I have a feeling posts like this will become more common here at the DCR, which is now a totally inappropriate name for this website. I am still reviewing the daily comics, just not... daily. Some day we will get back to 5 updates a week but right I hope you're happy with two.

Apartment 3-G 10/28/08

Blaze is apparently battling a fashion demon of his own. Gayest black ascot ever.


Between Friends 10/28/08

Double Homicide! Double Homicide!


Judge Parker 10/30-10/31/08


This has to be the sexiest strip on the comics pages. Dixie Julep's parents named here intentionally because they were both life-long Carnies and they dreamed of a brighter future for their young one. The second image is the closest comic strip emulation of a cheap porno intro I've ever seen. I mean Christ, his name is MR. DRIVER, think of all the horrible one liners!


Ballard Street 10/31/08

Good idea, very good idea!


Cow and Boy 10/30/08

A child who is already considering life's implications and thinking of how to prolong his existence is a little disturbing. I didn't start plotting to transfer from human to disembodied brain form until I was 23 and had to find a way to make myself immortal.


Dinosaur Comics 10/30/08

I'm cuckoo for intercourse! It works great for most breakfast cereal slogans, Intercourse-Breakfast of champions! Mikey likes it! Gotta have my pops! Kid tested-Mother.... awww shit.


Ginger Meggs 10/30/08

Apparently in Australia, "Chubb" is not slang for dick. Or maybe it is?


Overcompensating 10/30/08

The more Jeffrey Roland makes fun of the motherland and their slang, the more he deserves some sort of award.


Pearls Before Swine 10/31/08

Aw what a missed opportunity! Pastis why did you deny us a hilarious Zombie Turkey storyline by placing this comic at the end of Halloween week instead of on Monday with a following 4 days of GENIUS!


Secret Asian Man 10/30/08

If you're making jokes about the internet, always make sure it's not something that already exists. Hundreds of men and some women will now go check to see if Booble is a real website (hint:DUH IT'S THE INTERNET)


The Argyle Sweater 10/30/08

The truly bizarre and insulated environment that is Sesame Street almost ensures taking any one of the characters out in to the real world will result in hilarious hijinks. We demand more comics in this vein!


Working Daze 10/31/08

I'm thinking about starting a support group for people who have a boss who actually say this, like mine does. "Maybe if you weren't emailing chain letters to your family and friends all day you could have given it to me yesterday!"

Humping Away on Another Hump Day

Dinosaur Comics 10/22/08

Instead of "I'm lazy" you could say "I have the work ethic of the Daily Comics Review".


Family Circus 10/22/08

"Punished? Every day of my life is consumed by you and your fellow 'gifts from god'. MY LIFE IS HELL, WHY GOD WHY?" You set em up Keane brothers and I knock em down.


Beetle Bailey 10/22/08

Am I to understand that Beetle doesn't even take off the hat when he's shagging Miss Buxley? You learn something every day. For example, did you know Miss B is in every Wednesday strip? No one knows why.


XKCD 10/22/08

God I hate that too. Somebody always uses a really crappy small word for the first one and it makes the rest of the game suck.

The Almost Friday Haiku Review 9/25/08

So I work a job
I'd rather blog here all day
But you all pay crap

We The Robots 9/25/08

Always be mindful
Instinct can be deceiving
Pencil in face hurts


Annie 9/25/08

Yummy yum rat meat!
This was about an orphan
Now nobody knows


In The Bleachers 9/25/08

Only five dollars?
No trip to chiropractor,
Worth at least twenty!


F Minus 9/25/08

With her wand in hand
Good fairy will dominate
He's out of chances


Dinosaur Comics 9/25/08

T-rex can argue
with God as long as he wants.
What is this movie?

The Daily Comics Review is Renewed!

5 days off will do wonders for your soul. I spent Wednesday night through Sunday out in the wilderness, partaking in all the wonders of our natural world.

We spent a great day at Crescent Lake swimming and tanning, or trying to avoid the sun.

Hiking and fishing, chopping wood and building fires; all of the things our caveman ancestors used to do, just with worse technology. Life is so much easier when all you have to worry about are the basics.


Oh wait, you guys came here to read about comics! Sorry about that, back to your regularly scheduled program.

Overcompensating 9/1/08

Any green candidate gets my vote as a rule.


Cul de Sac 9/1/08



The Phantom 9/1/08

You're lying in bed, only to be awoken by the sound of a trotting horse. As you look out your window you see a man with purple spandex and stripped Speedos riding a white horse, following a dog. You have three choices: Write it off to that bottle of cough syrup you drank last night, commit yourself to a mental institution as your mind has obviously broken from reality, relax-you're an ancillary character in The Phantom comic strip! "Justice for the Python" sounds like some horrible 80's porno movie title.


Dinosaur Comics 8/28/08

"I couldn't get out of bed because of SELF-EXPERIMENTATION" is the closest I've ever seen DC to making a masturbation joke, and that's just because of my sick mind.
