Shoes, gold, sharks, bacon, forgetful children, and clutter! Oh my?

It's a new week, so there's no need for delays.  Except for, perhaps, a shameless plug.

Anyway, the comics -

Judge Parker:


This is what happens when someone reads a strip after having not read it in a long while.  I really have no idea what's going on here, and I certainly didn't know the Spencers had a shoe lab.  I'm not entirely sure I know what a shoe lab is.

The upside, however, is that I found the strip quite amusing.  The fact that it makes absolutely no sense to me makes it far more enjoyable than it would have been otherwise.

Spiderman:





Just one question here: Why is Iron Man known as "The Golden Avenger" when he's mostly red, at least in this particular depiction?  I don't read very many Marvel comics, so maybe that's why I'm in the dark about it.  Perhaps someone else can fill me in.

Family Circus:


The question he's really asking is whether he has just won or lost, because it appears that the game is over no matter what.  How unfortunate.  If I was the mother, I'd just say, "Doesn't matter.  We'll just start over." If this happened several times, I'd say, "If you're not going to take this game seriously, there's no reason for me to play with you.  Now, this time REMEMBER your role!"

This is why I'm not a mother.  Hopefully I won't do that when I'm a father, either.

Rubes:



But he is the Jaws of life!  He just comes off looking a bit mean.  His teeth are actually quite dull, and he does a great job of prying people out of cars.  Mr. fireman, you don't need to keep holding up that tree anymore, thanks.

Pearls Before Swine:


Wait a second...  Pig eats bacon...?!




I always thought he was Jewish.  Reform Jew, I guess.

Graffiti:



You do realize that you've just insulted every single one of your readers with this panel, don't you?  Okay, as long as you realized that.

The downturn continues turning down

Today was even worse than yesterday, comics-wise. When will this downturn end? It's even affecting adventure strips, and what sort of day is it when the "Spider-Man" strip isn't bad enough to mock? Well, here we go. I shall endeavor to do my best.

Yenny, 08/27/09

Technically from yesterday, but it showed up in the ol' DCR inbox today. The problem with this one is that, unless that girl is going to become the physical embodiment of patience, then it should be "patient". This isn't the first time I've noticed such a grammatical snafu in this strip, and I'm wondering if it's just a character quirk or an actual error.

Hi and Lois, 08/28/09
Photobucket
Chip is supposed to be in a band, right? Shouldn't he be appreciative of the work that those musicians have done? I mean, it's Paul McCartney. He was one of the Beatles, for god's sake. If you're going to just dismiss him as a old man rocker, then you're really selling him short.

Born Loser, 08/28/09

That guy gets it. Except, with the sliding time-line used in comic strips as well as comic books, shouldn't Brutus Thornapple be more aware of who Ozzy Osbourne is, even if he wasn't a fan? Shouldn't what I'm assuming is an "Oz Fest" t-shirt tip him off? Unless they're just portraying Brutus as a loser, which is very likely. I have some choice words to say about this strip at some later date. It'll be a theme post.

Dilbert, 08/28/09
Photobucket
Don't worry, Dilbert. I'm sure there are girls who'd appreciate a guy who has that cell phone app. Your real problems are the fact that you're pear-shaped and you have hair that looks like broccoli.

That man looks like a shaved ape. All I have to say about this.

Quick and Dirty Comics Review!

No time to link, proof-read or comment beyond what I've already did, hope you like it!

Cornered 4/17/09
Cornered 4/17/09
Cornered seems to have infiltrated my head and gone directly to the "worst nightmare" district. It would serve me right for living my atheistic existence and engaging in this snarky blogger lifestyle to die and go up to heaven and be denied entry because of all the feelings I hurt while running the DCR.


Baldo 4/17/09
Baldo 4/17/09
So I guess I should say something nice now? It takes balls to run a comic strip with a slightly continual plot and make the decision to get rid of a character. I've been reading Baldo for over a year now, and though I always remember cringing slightly whenever Joey was in the strip (readying myself for the inevitable slacking off joke) I was taken aback by my own feelings of sadness to see him go. Wait a minute, me.... feelings.... fuck this I need a different comic quick!


Alley Oop 4/17/09

OH GOD IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HAVE THE HATE RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS AGAIN! Aparently in Central America they have red dinosaurs who pass the time doing the Electric Slide. Thanks for being awful Alley, I feel like myself again.

BORING BORING BOOOOOOOOORRRRRING! Judge Parker dialog is worse than the intros to most porno movies. Scratch that, ALL porno movies, because then at least you know you're going to see some boneing.


The Better Half 4/16/09
Better Half 4/16/09
Does anybody own a TV remote control that actually clicks or has this idea only been propagated by evil cartoonists so the awful jokes they write make sense? Please, if you've owner a clicker that clicks let us know!

P.S. I hate how this strip looks. Potatoes chips in a turnip? How is the chair this guy is sitting in possibly connected to reality where his feet are that high up, unless his feet come right out of his pelvis.

Fan-Freakin-Tastic Friday Comics Review

Well if you're only going to get two updates from me in a week, one of them better be damn good! Can you tell that I had to restrain myself from putting a swear word in the post title? I'm trying to make this place a little more professional god damn it.

Dick Tracy 2/20/09
Dick Tracy 2/20/09
In what law enforcement code of conduct handbook would this scenario ever be allowed. "If you know a criminal will be returning to a crime scene, quietly wait without any backup until they arrive. When they enter, spray them in the eyes with whatever the victim has available. If they try to flee immediately apprehend them, unless of course they are trying to escape with the use of a vehicle. In the case of vehicular fleeing, follow behind the car until it crashes. Blame any collateral damage on the chief."

"Guys I just met the President! He said I could be a senator some day! Yeah that was it, I had to cut him off cuz I had a turtle head poking out." That's the kind of story you can tell your grandchildren some day.


Henry 2/19/09
Henry 2/19/09
So Henry farts down the railing, farts all through out the house on his way outside, then farts all over the snowman this little kid is trying to build. Am I wrong or is Henry kind of a dick?

Wow, yesterday was a plethora of butt/poo related jokes. Must be something about Thursdays.


Arctic Circle 2/20/09

You may notice I cut this strip down to just two panels from it's original four. That's because it is WAY funnier this way. If you don't already know about pitching tents, do us all a favor and check it out on urban dictionary or something.

And my own little improvement on the strip. JP is somehow totally insulated from the terrible economic times every one else on earth is going through. Next week they're going to buy a yacht and a new full size house... for their dog.


The Amazing Spider-Man 2/20/09
The Amazing Spider-Man 2/20/09
"We need a real super hero, like The Tow-truck Guy!" Only New Yorkers think it's a hero's responsibility to save them from their own shitty driving. Next week Peter will walk right by some guy in a suit and he'll be all like "Some hero, couldn't even stop me from losing my life savings to that damn African prince."

The Daily Comics Review: Inaugural Edition!

Today was a big day for the world and for the USA. Because we're not a politics blog we'll keep the Obama loving down to our first comic only. GOBAMA!

Change is all around us! As you can see the Bender's (the couple that draws/writes AO) finally decided to get the story moving along again. Nevermind the story though, Doc Wonmug has a computer that he can use to look in on anything in the past! How is that at all possible? Second question: where can I get one? Talk about a voyeurs ultimate dream.

So we go from a murdering sexy striper storyline to some middleschool cat fight? This might be the biggest swing from semi-interesting to utter boredom JP has managed yet. They could fix it all by throwing in handful of car bombs; you can have that idea for free JP writers.

The Thanksgiving Comic Strip Special 2008

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY! Instead of the usual comics review today I will bend these comic strips to my will so I can show what I am thankful for on this holiday week.

I give thanks for the great new humorists like Tony Carillo who make me laugh every day so that I can read all the bad comics and not hate the world for it. We need more new blood in the syndication print scene and not just on the web; if you appreciate their work as much as I do, send them emails and buy their books so they feel the love.

I'm thankful for football. It's gratuitously violent one moment and extraordinarily elegant the next. This has been another amazing year of college ball and it's not even over yet!


Lio 11/24/08
Lio 11/24/08
Cross-strip comics are another thing to be thankful for. The more horrible things Pearls Before Swine or Lio can manage to do to the Family Circus kids, the better. Cameos and practical jokes that cross from one strip to another may be easy pickings but low hanging fruit can be delicious too!


Judge Parker 11/24/08
Judge Parker 11/24/08
I'm thankful for soap opera strip depictions of late night sexual liasons in hotel rooms. Oh wait that's not what's going on here? Then how about the way you can twist a single day of any soap strip to fit your own twisted purpose? That's the trick.

There need to be more foods, placed inside other foods, then again inserted in a larger food and cooked. Mish-mashed and smashed combined food names For The Win. Pumpertato is the best I have heard about since the Macatacahodo 360.

I was just thinking to myself "Man it has been a really long time since there were any completely inappropriate and misogynistic jokes in LICD and therefor reposted on my blog." Thanks for reading my mind Ryan Sohmer, and have a great wedding/Honeymoon!

This maybe be the only time you will ever see a squirrel with half his body inside a little girl's mouth. It's kind of one of those things you can't unsee, but it isn't that gross compared to the other "wonders of the internet".


Cow and Boy 11/17/08
Cow and Boy 11/17/08
I got really excited when this strip came out Monday, thinking it meant we would be seeing the results of Boy's lack of.... intelligence, for the rest of the week. Alas it was not to be, and we can only hope the creator decides to return to this potentially great storyline some time in the future.


Crock 11/17/08
Croc 11/17/08
Is this really appropriate for the comics page? You pass a kidney stone by peeing it out, and those things can be very jagged. And two pounds? The idea of something like that coming out of me through a spot like that..... ::shudder::, not the ha ha ha you'd think they were going for.

Ok everybody get this: Sam Driver is taking a taxi! Get it? Driver - taking a taxi, god I kill myself.

Yes a bad comic but it remind me of a funny story. I had these buddies in college who took highlighters and wrote stuff ALL OVER their dorm room walls. When highlighter dries it is very hard to make out on off-white walls so they never got in any trouble and it's not like the college took great care of the place so they never painted the walls. They drew pentagrams and scary devil things along with awful song lyrics and other drug-induced rantings. Imagine moving in to a room as a freshman and you think you're all cool with your blacklight and you turn it on one night and discover all the horrible things on your walls that have been hiding there all along.

Gravity in Oop's land is roughly 1/4 that of earth's so having conversations while in a free fall is a pretty normal occurrence. God the Bender's are some lazy ass cartoonists.

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.

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!

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.

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 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!
