Of Cannibalism and Geekery

Well, hey there, folks. Are you ready for another rollicking Thursday edition of the Daily Comics Review? Yeah? Well, too bad, because you're stuck with me instead. Let's do this:

Mythtickle, 12/17/09

I find it a bit odd that the elf knows how elves taste. I mean, there are reasons he could know other than the fact that he's engaged in cannibalism, but the cannibalism thing is really the first thing that comes to mind. Or perhaps it's just wishful thinking on the elf's part.

The Buckets, 12/17/09

You're wrong, kid. Take a gander. And that's only a few of the times they've been seen together.

Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee, 12/16/09

Ultraman? Really? So you're telling me a guy who is into sixties pop culture to the point of doing story-lines based on television properties of that time doesn't realize that there's already a pretty popular super-hero named Ultraman already? You couldn't even Google it beforehand, or look it up on Wikipedia, to make sure the name you were going to use didn't already belong to someone? I mean, if the original Ultraman didn't exist, there'd only be a few relatively obscure comic book characters with the name. I'd let that slide. Heck, if you hadn't proclaimed your love for television shows from that era, I'd let this slide. I know I shouldn't be getting so angry about all of this, but really... it's Ultraman. Show other franchises the same respect you expect people to show yours.

More likely future generations will look back and say, "What the heck is Wee Pals?"

Well, it's Friday. Fridays no longer mean anything to me, except I get to post here! Hooray! Well, here's your post.

I'm quite worried about that plant on top of the file cabinet. It's perilously close to falling off. Someone move it so it doesn't suffer a terrible fate at the hands of gravity!

Drabble, 10/16/09

This is the only time anyone will ever accuse anyone in this strip of having a quick wit.

Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, 10/16/09

Listen, kid, if you can't put up with the occasional cannibalism, then you shouldn't be a hillbilly.

Cleats, 10/16/09

Yes, because all dogs are giant rampaging hell-beasts.

Wee Pals, 10/16/09

Future generations will remark that today was the day that "Wee Pals" began its months-long "White Slavery" storyline, in which all the little Caucasian children were sold off and all their African-American friends learned some very hard lessons.

Mythtickle, 10/16/09

I like the last two panels and wanted to share them.

It's a Monday Comic Review! 7/21/08

Mondays suck. We all know this and today the only comics worth commenting on happened to be really great and funny, so this post should brighten everyones day! This comics review business has been growing steadily and the more DCR builds the more features we will add. I have this whole week off so you can expect some minor improvements to the layout and function of our site over the next few days. Happy Monday!


Overcompensating 7/21/08

If you're not a fan of Jeffrey Rowland you probably wont enjoy this post very much as we start and end today with his bad ass web comics. I had a dream catcher growing up and through college but it has since disappeared in to one of the random storage boxes in our apartment. Despite what this comic says I swear my dream catcher worked! I swear I'm not just a typical gullible white guy!


Cul de Sac 7/21/08

Nothing I say can make this comic strip any awesomer.


Mythtickle 7/21/08

Mythtickle seems to vacillate between long storylines with good plots but not a lot of humor and really funny single day gag strips. As long as Justin Thompson keeps doing both styles so well there's nothing to complain about because this switheroo every week or so does a great job of keeping things fresh and sharp.


The New Adventures of Queen Victoria 7/21/08

Every now and then I read a comic that I love but I worry if people who don't read it every day will understand the punchline. The dilemma then arises on how much explanation should be given and if explaining it at all just takes away from the joke in the first place. For todays comic strip lets just say it's referencing a certain famous composer and it's hilarious.


Wigu 7/21/08

Not much to say here except it's you're not reading Wigu already, get over there and catch up!

April 28, 2008 comics

Monday Monday! Well here we go, kicking off the first full week of the blog. And what do I get for my first Monday? A big pile of shit comics. Not so shitty they can be made fun of, they are just mediocre. Yay for the good comics!

Basic Instructions 4/28/08























This comic basically illustrates why I haven't told anybody about this blog yet. Not posted on facebook or myspace, only talked about this to my comic book buddy who might be writing here and my wife. Maybe once I get some content under my belt and understand how this whole thing works I'll start telling people and spreading the word. Oh yeah there is a comic to talk about here! I like BI a lot, it's pretty dang new too so head over to their site and catch up.


Crankshaft 4/28/08








More sex jokes! We just can't get enough, until some old guy is involved and then it is just WAY over the line. The whole strip is one big sexual innuendo. I should start a new strip called Cock & Balls about a soccer-playing chicken. I'm sure the syndicates would snap it up right away.


Mythtickle 4/28/08









This is my favorite comic today. I thought I had seen every spoof of the iPod ads and was sick of em but I guess enough time has passed that it's enjoyable again. This is also a great example of why I love and subscribe to daily comic email services. You get tons of comics you would otherwise never see and you get most of the dailies in glorious color. If you like comics it's a great way to go.
