Imminent Death and Destruction

Hello. Some of you might know me from the Meekrat Entertainment Group, which shares a forum with this site. Anyway, here I am, with a whole load of comics to be mildly lambasted. I think there's twelve of them or something, but expect the number to dwindle as time goes on.

Cathy 7/9/09

Cathy is all about the slow domination of machine over man. It would seem our only hope of surviving the Robopocalypse is Cathy herself, still concerned with little things like interpersonal communication, in which case we're all pretty much screwed. I look forward to seeing her scream "ACK!" as the robots torture her.

Only Edge City has the moxie to tackle the ever-growing problem of Facebook addiction. Abby obviously needs help, and she wants it, will she be able to tear herself away from Facebook long enough to end this downward spiral? Considering how she's looking for answers in the very den of the demon, I doubt it. The next few weeks will likely consist of her slowly wasting away, or being forcibly put into Facebook rehab. It'll be a laugh riot.

I just like the fish in a bicycle helmet, and I wanted to share it with all of you.

Do you know who would really hate to see that? Luke Skywalker. He'd be all jealous of the little Hispanic girl getting to ride on his father's shoulders. He might even turn to the Dark Side himself and show Dora the Spanish word for "Getting decapitated with a lightsaber." It's probably an onomatopoeia of some sort.

Hey, look! The fetus is telepathically communicating about torture! So it's about abortion and torture! Sadly, this is about a hundred times better than the usual nonsense this strip puts out.

Annie, 7/7/09:
Photobucket
Supposedly, this is Little Orphan Annie. I have no idea if that's true, because there's a decapitated robot head bouncing down a street and and a guy named Xaxos being all angry and stuff. Ah, wait, creepy soulless Annie eyes. Even on the robot head... is that a decapitated cyborg head? Annie is far more interesting than I thought.

Insecticide?! That bug wasn't trying to do drugs, he was trying to kill himself!

Committed, 7/9/09:

I have to call shenanigans on this, because the CandyLand board game has an actual, viable, movie-capable storyline and characters. You don't need to create some stupid villains hi-jacked from a dental PSA.

Eek, 7/9/09:

On a similar note, Godzilla is totally capable of messing up Japan with kids. He does it all the time, and brings the kid with him, or the kid gets kidnapped, or becomes the loneliness-birthed hallucination of a wimpy Japanese child. I'd imagine Japan would properly screwed if Godzilla showed up with a whole brood of young'uns, though, so maybe the parent Godzilla is just making sure that Japan is a viable source of destruction for years to come.

I think the better question here is: Is Halfrican-American a real term?

Reality Check, 7/9/09:
Photobucket
First and foremost, I realize it's a comic strip, so for the sake of the gag I'll just assume that's how bows and arrows work. They could have just said, "My crossbow went off", though, which would have solved all sorts of problems. I'll also assume a human being can live through that. My main issue, then, is how the arrow is lodged in his head. If he was cleaning the bow and arrow like any normal person would, the arrow would actually have gone through his leg, or at least it would be perpendicular to the angle it's at now.

Skin Horse, 7/9/09:

Sausage Picnic sounds dirty. Also, I can't figure out what's more disturbing: the fact that the dog is expecting the sausages to be poisoned, or the fact that the man cheerfully exclaims that they're not... this time.

Well, that's my inaugural effort here. It was filled with death and bereft of logic. And fun?

And on and on and on...

I did kind of a big one year post yesterday so today I'll keep things short and sweet, including the comic reviews.

Edge City 4/27/09

Rusty should really change his name to Fail. Fail Trail. Has a nice ring to it.


The Argyle Sweater 4/27/09

Ha ha, creepy movie from almost 20 years ago reference! And it's never been done before by anybody else, like Gary Larson or some one.

A Steady Decent in to Madness À La Mark Trail

Slylock Fox 11/12/08

The dog has evolved to a higher level of consciousness and is able to express himself artistically? No? Uh, the pig is freeloading and the only one not traveling under his own power? The fish is dead?


The Amazing Spider-Man 11/12/08
The Amazing Spider-Man 11/12/08
Pretty sure that trying to derail a train is a crime punishable by quite a few years in prison. Spidey has finally crossed the line between good and evil.


Annie 11/12/08
Annie 11/12/08
Either Annie's writer has never heard of thought bubbles or a narrator, or Warbucks is going stark raving mad. Hopefully this kind of detailed description of actions taking place will cut out whenever nature calls.


Edge City 11/12/08
Edge City 11/12/08
Apparently Edge City reference to how this comic strip is right on the edge of being entertaining. A storyline about buying old, outdated radios off the internet. Dang EC you are giving Mary Worth a run for their money!


Mark Trail

Please someone help me! I am actually interested to see how Mark will rescue Sneaky. If someone could call the hospital to come pick me up I'll thank you after they let me out.

Friday Comic Strips of Happiness 6/20/08

Lazy daily comics Friday here, where we bring you single sentence reviews of our favorite and most reviled comic strips for your reading pleasure! This weekend is looking good for continuing my posting streak, I'm not sure how many days in a row I'm at now but we'll keep the record alive! And this is our first post over 50 so we're half way to 100 posts.

Family Circus 6/20/08

Oh Dolly, you should know Jeffey will take whatever you say in the most literal way possible, because he's a freaking moron.


Edge City 6/20/08

Edge City this week would be a million times more interesting if it was about swingers instead of just being a comic about a boring couple.


Overcompensating 6/20/08

I hope you readers like this daily comic, because I'm not going to stop posting it, ever.

Comic Strips rule my life as of 5/21/08

We've had a strange week. Web comics have been less funny this week with the printies performing admirably against all odds. I know I don't do political cartoons here....yet, but I would like to express my sadness of the news about Senator Kennedy. Please send your hopes and Prayers his way.


Edge City 5/21/08



All week long I've been bored to tears by this "snot-nosed kid wont eat regular food" storyline. The reason your kid is such a shit is because you're a spineless, crappy parent who wont stand up to a 10 year old. If they can't get their kid to eat meatloaf at 10, just wait till she starts dipping in to the liquor cabinet in another few years. I think it has mostly been pissing me off because I know people now whose parents gave in to their every whim and guess what, they suck at life now.


Family Tree 5/21/08









Oh look! Another tedious, unfunny storyline in a boring strip this week! I don't know what I would have done growing up if my mom walked in while I was on the computer and asked me to show her the porn on the internet. Why would you ask your underage daughter to show you XXX-rated "trash" online? I've seen porn more tasteful than this strip.


Family Circus 5/21/08





















Family Circus is the worst comic around, and everyone who knows anything about comics agrees. Today Billy gets the FC their second UGH award because today I honestly wanted to hit my head on my keyboard until I forgot I had read the strip. Fuck you Billy.

Monday April 5, 2008 comics!

After a weekend spent trying fix my computer I ultimately succeeded in getting the machine working great once again. I failed to update the blog though and when you have as many readers as I do I just have to apologize to all....... wait, nobody reads this. Anyways today we got tons of comics, way better than last Monday!


Days of Thunder 5/5/08























As as far as the various single panel comics out there go, Days of Thunder falls about in the middle of the spectrum. It is drawn very basic and the humor is very dry but it is seldom boring or even stupid. I liked todays comic very much so I figured I would share it.


Edge City 5/5/08








I worked for 3 months at a big box electronics store and I have to say this is not the way it would have worked. The customer in this comic doesn't even get angry at the clerk. In the real world the customer would insist we look in the back of the store and make sure we don't have any more. Then the clerk would need to get on the phone with the other store and make sure they pulled the item and set it aside. The fact of the matter is it's cheaper almost always to buy your electronics off the internet, but that just isn't funny.


Mark Trail 5/5/08








Talking birds and hands in this Monday edition of MT. As the scheme has now been hatched we can see Mark hasn't lost his touch for outsmarting all manner of outlaws. Apparently the town paper has nothing to report ever if Mark can get a story about how much he loves his dog some front page love.


Marvin 5/5/08








Apart from Marvin's "come hither" stare in the first frame this strip alarms me to the fact that 2 year olds no have access to computers, the internet, and their own email addresses. We're seeing carpal tunnel earlier and earlier with these kids.


The Phantom 5/5/08








The introduction of a new plot line and none of the panels make any sense, whether you read them separately or together. Oh Ghost-Who-Walks you really need to get your shit together.


Slylock Fox 5/5/08








The better mystery might have been what the hell Slylock fox was doing up in a tree in the middle of the field. Solution - He was going to hang himself after he found out his detective office got foreclosed on. Damn adjustable rates! But as he looked down and saw the big ape with the cash he loosened the noose and apprehended the criminal! With that reward coming his way he can pay to fill his gas tank!


The Amazing Spider-Man 5/5/08








Today we got an all too close look at the bedroom behavior of Mr. and Mrs. Spider-man. Peter apparently likes to be tied up with his own sticky webbing. I'm sure there's a whole online community devoted to the idea.


The Fusco Brothers 5/5/08








This is the first time the Fuscos have actually made me laugh. Ever. Congrats guys, lets work on making it a more regular thing.


We The Robots 5/5/08


















For finally chronicling the innermost thoughts of all men as the spend their time toiling away on a patch of grass, We The Robots gets my comic of the day award, woo hoo!
