Supersize Man

The Born Loser
The Born Loser
You don't see much human contact or affection in The Born Loser.  It's rather unsettling.

Bound and Gagged
Bound and Gagged
It's funny because this man is a simpleton who never took high school biology.  Though I suppose that makes him a perfect test subject for Buzzy's horrific genetic experiments.

Cornered

Judging from the size of his waistline, it appears Superman has been supersizing it for quite some time.

The Flying McCoys

Wow.  That has to be the perfect example of "cruel and unusual" punishment.

Not so much "insensitive" as "I hate you all, why don't you dunk your head in this electrified water and drop dead!"

Their Opposite Number

Meekrat here with another comic that's also a review, of sorts.



Remember to check out my Emporium of Nonsensery for more comic goodness nearly daily.

Could Be Better

Hey there, it's another Friday, and therefore another installment of me doing comic commentary. Not much today, but if you're looking to read some things, go to the Meekrat Entertainment Group. You'll find a wealth of things to read. Onward, then:

Loose Parts
Photobucket
Don't they trace the bodies? Isn't that the whole point? I realize that I'm over-analyzing this single panel, but hey, I have to comment on something.

My Cage
Photobucket
It really is a shame that this strip is ending (at least in the newspapers, though probably for good) because it's one of the few strips I look forward to reading. I like how they're going through with using the names of other comics as profanities, which is why I'm spotlighting it today.

Pearls Before Swine
Photobucket
Oh, Pearls, making a vuvuzela joke months after the World Cup ended? I can't tell whether to be ashamed of you for sinking so low or proud of you for bucking expectations.

Trebuchets. That's all you need to know.

Normally I like to have the comic blurbs ready around breakfast, or perhaps lunch, but today you can have them with dinner.  Here:

Birdbrains:


If you think about it, any animal would do, because "lamb," or in this case "ham," doesn't really rhyme with anything in the song.  Therefore, she wouldn't need to get an animal that rhymed with "lamb" in order to be equally poetic.  She could have had an elephant.  In fact, I find little elephants to be much cuter than little hams.

Animal Crackers:


Not only are they ruled by a queen, but in fact all of them are female.  The queen is the only fertile female, of course, but that makes little difference.  Just more things for the female lion to be happy about.

Daddy's Home:


Nothing to say here except that it strikes me as odd that a black man is giving that line.  Maybe it's just me.


Loose Parts:


 
This is mostly funny because the guy is just standing there staring at the vending machine.  I figure he expected as much.  Who would expect that a vending machine on a small desert island that's most likely been there for a long time would actually work properly?  He probably figured he wouldn't be using the small amount of change he had in his pocket for anything else anytime soon.  What's the thing plugged into, anyway?  The tree?

Cul de sac:


I don't care what anybody else says.  In my book, any comic about trebuchets is a good comic.

I Hate This Comic

Today is Tuesday. If you didn't know that, then I'm glad that I could do something worthwhile with my time.

Stone Soup 8/25/09
stone soup
Isn't Holly in junior high? Shouldn't she already know the multiplication tables? Is this the beginning of a mentally-handicapped-people-are-people-to storyline in Stone Soup? I hope not, Stone Soup sucks and any mention of the mentally-handicapped in it would be a disservice to the mentally-handicapped, who are too smart to enjoy Stone Soup.



Loose Parts 8/25/09

Let's just say that God did invent the universe. Why would he need to be validated by the Guiness Book of World Records? Why can't he be happy with the several religions dedicated to Him?

Or perhaps this is just for comedic purposes and not meant to be thought about deeply. Let's go with that.



Ziggy 8/25/09
ziggy
The Freudian slip that was originally written: Fuck!...i HATE THiS YONT!


Why do all letter 'I's in Ziggy appear in lower case? It bothers me greatly



Fred Basset 8/25/09

This could have been the best comic strip ever if that last panel had been left off or drawn differently. Even as it is the almost bestiality joke is pretty funny.

The Government Still Demands You To Read This

Today you get something a little different than what I usually offer. Instead of going off on tangents and spewing some garbage that I don't even understand, I'm going to offer different lines to the comics. While not original, it is different from my usual fare. Enjoy.

Also, the comments for yesterday were great. Why not leave some more. You could even request something or voice concern about what we're doing. We want to be better and we can't do it without your help.

Another Number Ending In Two Zeros

Welcome to Tuesday. Today is special. Do you know why? Because it's another milestone! This is the 400th post of the Daily Comics Review.

While it isn't incredibly impressive, it is remarkable considering all the problems of late. Several writers are MIA and a few others are out of comission due to life concerns.

But there is hope! Later this week a very special contributer will be joining me. You might have heard of him, or at least his own comic blog. That's right, non other than Mike P of Meekrat Entertainment (AKA The Amazing Spider-Blog) will be taking a few days to keep me from insanity.

Enjoy the supersized comics review.

How did that guy get a clipper on the plane? Did he smuggle it in inside his ass? That's a lot to go through just to clip your toenails on a plane.

Also, is the joke about how annoying the guy is or is it about how scary nail clippers are or is it about how ridiculous it is that you can't bring nail clippers on planes?


Cow & Boy 7/7/09
cow and boy
I see what Boy is talking about, but I think he could have gotten a better mashup of Twitter, Myspace, and Facebook. Something like MyFaceTer. Or Twpacebook. Those are harder to understand, but are more creative than Tweet-Face-Space.

One day we will all be Twpacebooking.



Andy Capp 7/7/09
andy capp
I realize this is an old, old strip, but is it really necessary to keep the headscarf on all the time? She's in a jogging suit for christ's sake. And wouldn't the scarf just get in the way of trying to jog? Unless you had it tied extremely tight, I'm pretty sure it would fly off. Unless you jog really, really slowly.



Home and Away 7/7/09
home and away
Why can't you show a female a magazine that sells female undergarments? I realize that it is a young female, but there is no reason to keep a VS catalog away from her. She's going to start learning about way worse things than bras and panties pretty soon, if she hasn't already. Why didn't they just make it a young male? Then it would make sense.



Dick Tracy 7/7/09

Yes, thank you Dick. You saved my business that exploits the poor and stupid from someone else that was exploiting the poor and stupid. Now all the money is MINE!!!!

This just seems mean. You shouldn't make fun of someone that can never leave the house to defend themselves.

Also, what would the awards even be for? Most weight gained?



Frog Applause 7/7/09

I know, I know, I'm getting repetitive. But this is another case of not being creative enought with your madeup names. Why spell out all of catapult, but not spell all of spork or spoon? Sporfoonapult would be much better.

Also, if it's a catapult, why do you stab with it? It should be launching things.

Why Does Everyone Always Leave Me?

Greetings people of the internet. We apologize for the lack of dailyness at the Daily Comic Review over the past few days, there were quite a few circumstances that all came up at the same time.

Patrick of the Friday review has had to leave us due to other obligations. We look forward to the time when he returns.

Stella of the Thursday review is currently overloaded at her place of work and shall remain so for an undetermined amount of time.

And I was out of the country on family business until just yesterday.

What all that means is that we are down to a two man rotation during the work-week and a two person rotation on the weekend. Not that anyone cares about the weekend. Things look to be back on track for the time being, however, I can make no promises about the future. With my luck, Jorge and Kaitlyn will leave and I'll be stuck with the whole thing myself until Bryce and Stella are relieved of their real-life duties.

But you probably didn't read any of that anyway, so here's where the comics start today.

Domestic Abuse 6/23/09
domestic abuse
So many options before me and yet, so few. After all, I can only choose one way to make fun of any particular comic and this one clearly points in one direction.

Lubricants always lead to friction. The good kind of friction. The kind on your penis and/or vagina. Maybe your ass, if you're into that kind of thing.



Frog Applause 6/23/09
frog applause
Umm, okay? So the dog won the lottery and now his owners are abandoning him? I'm really lost on this one.



Loose Parts 6/23/09

Lucky for them they don't have any thumbs or fingers to pull the trigger.

Also, how did they order the gum/gun if they don't know how to read? And where did they get the money?

Knowing Is Half The Battle

What is up comic haters? Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Daily Comics Review. Today we have 2 comics that suck and 1 that sees my inner nerd come out. Unfortunately only 2 reviews are of the funny sort, the last one is more of an attempt at making peace between 2 war-torn factions.


Loose Parts 6/16/09

And how were you using them? Because they aren't meant to go in any orifice other than your ears. If you wanted ass plugs you should just go buy those. It'll be cheaper in the end.



Non Sequitur 6/16/09
non sequitur
Which leads to the most brutal domestic murder in history. And that leads to the longest murder trial in history. And the verdict leads to the biggest riots in American history. Which leads to nationwide martial law being declared. Which leads to the loss of all freedom. And that leads to a revolution that leaves the country without an organized government. And that leads to unsupervised nuclear weapons. Which, of course, leads to worldwide destruction.

And that's why you should never use this joke.



Eek! 6/16/09

Actually, both stories have merit.

Star Wars is a classic story of a small group of people fighting for freedom against a tyrannical government on the outside with the story of a son redeeming his father on the inside. Pure storytelling doesn't get much better.

Star Trek is the vision of what the future of our own race might be. Humans traveling the stars exploring the wonders of the galaxy and being a voice of peace instead of the mongrel of war-hungry nations that we are today. There isn't a better vision of what might realistically be possible for our species.

Both series of movies and TV shows also have their downsides, which I don't need to mention because we all know what they are. (prequel triology, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Enterprise)

October is Here With Comics and Cheer!

What is this traveling on the wind? It can't be October already! Fall produces some of the best and worst comic strips all year. The holidays and crazy weather provide ample fodder for cartoonist the world over. I don't usually get sick up it until about December 26th.

A few quibbles with this comic strip today. 1:Bronte isn't a real name, even for a girl. 2:Nobody carries around a picture of somebody who isn't even their girlfriend. 3:Norm's friend is absolutely right.

Ted is forgetting one of the seminal rules of marriage. Any time you talk about another woman, you must cite something atrocious about her so that your wife doesn't get suspicious. We'll be seeing the repercussions of the lack of his foresight for the rest of the week!
