Earth Technology

Hey there. Meekrat here. Sorry about the short hiatus. First, I was moving, and then I was so sick I couldn't stand up. Here's your comic:

And hey, if you enjoy Subject M and his little adventures, then do I have news for you! First of all, there's a guest comic up at The Underfold. Second, I've started a new comic series featuring Subject M, sans commentary, over at my very own website. So go check it out!

Reign of the Captain Victoriouses

It's another Sunday so let's start this thing.

Close to Home 6/4/11

But those burros look so happy to be contributing to the safety of the people of New York.

Cornered 6/4/11

On the original strip received with our comics today, the pedals were moving and so was the bed. It was almost as creepy as For Better of For Worse's blinking eyes on their official site.

Ink Pen 6/5/11

Ink Pen, like Brewster Rockit, is one of those off-the-wall strips that always seem to be consistently funny.

Love Is... 6/4/11

The two kids in Love Is... are terrible parents. Sometimes they have a child, sometimes they don't. Maybe they run a daycare and "borrow" other people's children to make it look like they have their own kids because they cannot have any of their own. If that's the case then today's strip is really sad.

Born Loser 6/5/11

So I don't like the new format for The Born Loser now that it's on GoComics. I find it odd that Gladys doesn't know who to root for but I am curious about Brutus' twin in the seat in front of them.

And since our Brutus is the one with facial hair, that makes him the evil one.

That Crook'd 'Sipp

It's Sunday again so let's get to it.

Curtis

I find it odd that Curtis' dad read "Metal Men" comics but I applaud Ray Billingsley using kind of obscure comic book characters.

Ink Pen

Oreos don't come in sleeves. Where do Oreos come in sleeves?

Between Friends

$5 for a candy bar that is thicker but not quite as big as a King Size bar I could get for $1 at my local grocery store. People asking for money has been cut down a lot since putting up two 'No Soliciting' signs.

Funky Winkerbean

Damn it, Batiuk.

Panels from Dick Tracy

Oh, Dick Tracy. Retail clerks don't read this strip.

Wee Pals

Damn it, Morrie.

Tiger

What?

Blondie

Sounds like the Heminhaws are made up. If the Woodleys didn't want to go camping with the Bumsteads (and who would?) then they should've just said so instead of creating a fictional family, purchasing a house under the fake family name and creating a backstory for the fake family.

Panels from Barney Google

So the people of Hootin' Holler apparently believe that the wind comes from the clouds. This is good to know when the United States of America invades the New States of America for their precious oil aquifers.

The Born Loser

You can't win it if you aren't in it. I'm shocked Gladys is OK with Brutus wasting his money on lottery tickets and even kind of encourages him to buy more.

Naked Legs

So it appears the comic strip Zits is teaming with AAA to do a storyline about texting while driving. Zits hasn't been relevant in a long time. The last time I can remember a relevant storyline was when Jeremy decided to grow his hair long, which was the style at the time.

*Cough*

Okay, onto Sunday comics.

Ink Pen

The more important question is who took the pictures.

The Dinette Set

So the point of this strip is old people suck and are liars. Sounds good to me.

9 Chickweed Lane

So is this strip now just a hodge-podge of naked legs, kissing and/or dancing scenes and odd, slanted drawings in the panels? Because that seems to be all it is to me.

Hi and Lois

I'm sure there is a joke here somewhere.

Funky Winkerbean

Look at how depressed everyone is. And I swear there has been a perpetual cloud over Westview for the last three years. How are the people getting their Vitamin D?

Popeye

I actually laughed at a contemporary Popeye strip. I can now cross that off my bucket list.

The Born Loser

There is a lot of talking today. Veeblefester is rambling on about how Jason Bateman is not as a good a salesman as he and blah, blah, blah. Then Brutus makes the claim that he has opinions too which we all know he doesn't and if he does, who cares?


Oratorical?

As I was going through the comics today, I noticed FoxTrot was a little different. First of all, it was in Spanish so I couldn't understand it but I powered through it thinking there was going to be a great joke at the end...

But there wasn't so I went to foxtrot.com and saw that GoComics sent the email with the Spanish version. They also did this with Stone Soup but I didn't look at the English version of that.


Lockhorns 12/5/10

I don't know what happened to Loretta in the first panel but it's good to know a case of amnesia isn't clouding her hatred of Leroy.

It's good that Leroy beat her so hard that she forgot what happened so now she won't be able to press charges against him.

Close to Home 12/5/10

I don't get this. What's going on?

Wee Pals 12/5/10

I hate Wee Pals.

Bizarro 12/5/10

Won't somebody think of the children!?!

Hey, let's go see what going on over in Heathcliff

OH, DEAR GOD!! WHAT IS GOING ON?! BURN IT! SEND IT TO HELL!!

Ink Pen 12/5/10

P.J. got tall. And speaking of Family Circus...


I love all the looks on the kids' faces. It looks like they are all doing it for retribution and revenge. "How dare you drool on my pillow" (Mar), "How dare you be born therefore becoming the youngest." (Apr), "How dare Daddy spend more time in the garden than with me." (May), "I'm sick of brown dogs, white is better!" (July), "Qing Dynasty vases pale in comparison to Ming." (Oct), "This ponytail does not pass muster." (Nov)

Birdbrains 12/5/10

Ha! Bailout jokes are just as topical now as they were back in 2008.

Mary Worth 12/5/10

Who else reading Mary Worth is tired of Jill badmouthing marriage? Look, Jill, just because your marriage failed and you soften the pain with meaningless sex and booze doesn't mean everybody's marriage will fail. Have you ever thought that maybe your marriage failed because you are a bitch? No? Well, I suggest you think about that.

Born Loser 12/5/10

And Brutus is the master nitwit. Oh, yeah. I went there.

So my site will be pretty dead for the rest of the year.  There will probably only be about four more posts over the next two months.  I'm hoping when January gets here I will be able to do more posting and bring my site back to its former glory.  February at the latest.  Anyway, comics!!

I was pointed in the direction of stickcat.net thanks to Reddit where this comic caught my attention:

Ha!  The old guy from Up is depressed and lonely.  This strip actually wasn't printing in the UConn paper because it was National Suicide Prevention Week which means showing a comic where someone commits suicide could be considered bad taste.  Unlike publishing a comic on Veterans Day that refers to National Stupid Day.

Also, boobies:


Ink Pen 11/14/10

I just wanted to bring up this comic because of how similar it is to the DC-Marvel publishing effort of Amalgam Comics.  The orgin story presented here is a mash-up of Green Lantern and Iron Man to create SteelWill.  DC and Marvel actually created a mash-up of Green Lantern and Iron Man to create Iron Lantern.

Panel from Cornered 11/14/10

Is it me or does the image if a suit doing work at a computer seem really funny?

Argyle Sweater 11/14/10

Is it me or is the 1st Place trophy for Hide and Seek a clever touch?

Momma 11/14/10

I don't know who to blame more?  Momma for being a nagging and horrid example of a mother by both wanting to keep her children children and for wanting them to productive adults; or her children for both wanting to be still be mothered but also wanting their adulthood.  They are just an awful family all around.

Panels from Shoe 11/14/10

I think what Cosmo meant to ask was "Do you ever get tired of golf-themed comic strips?"  And the answer would be "Yes, very much so."

Heathcliff 11/14/10

This is the best Heathcliff I have seen in years and all it took was referencing a comic strip a hundred times better than it.

Born Loser 11/14/10

Was Brutus really expecting some kind of mind-reading power from Wilberforce?  Brutus has met his son right?  He's not exactly the brightest bulb in the box.

And now what we all came here to see:
HARDCORE NUDITY!!
Family Circus 11/14/10

Today is my one year wedding anniversary.  So here are comics for you.

First, I quick mention of two comics who have some special guest stars.
Liberty Meadows and Ink Pen 10/24/10


If I were Cindy Bear I would have a drinking problem too.  I mean they are making a CGI movie of Yogi Bear with Dan Akroyd as the voice of Yogi.  Dan Akroyd!  Oh, well.  I will just let you be the judge of it.

My Cage 10/24/10

I guess it's okay for My Cage to go sappy the week before it comes to an end.  I know how it is to go back to a place you hated to work because you do it for your family.  It sucks.  I hate it.  Luckily, there's alcohol to help get me through it.

Hi & Lois 10/24/10

Look how dark and depressing today's Hi & Lois is.  I know the Flagston's marriage is a suburban nightmare but their depression is attaching itself to casual passers-by as Hi's awful karaoke skills echo in their ears like a death march.

Brewster Rockit:  Space Guy! 10/24/10

Offered without commentary.

Argyle Sweater 10/24/10

Don't worry Mr. Kidney, someone else will want you.  But usually, kidneys are rejected while in the body so does Mr. Spognola's body have its own little universe inside of it?

Family Circus 10/24/10

But Papa Keane spends every night crouched behind the shrubbery........

Born Loser 10/24/10

Maybe...if that was a real thing.
