Saturday:The Week in Comics Review

Welcome one and all to your Saturday DCR. I still haven't come up with a good title and no one seems to want to help. But I'll struggle through and try to say some funny shit anyway. With that here's what we have this week:


Snapshots 1/12/09
When I first saw the panel I thought it would be something about Almost-Former-President Bush. It really would be funnier if it was, the only thing that saves this from being completely boring is the divide by zero comment. I'm not sure why he needs to be swinging from a chandelier to claim that, but I'm not a professional. And I don't think that's such a bad thing, if someone could figure out how to divide by zero I think mathematicians would like to know about it. I know I would.



Least I could Do 1/12/09
I don't really get this one. So, he had a dream that he was the Hulk and smashed her in the back? Wouldn't it be funnier if she'd dreamt that she was She-Hulk and punched him in the dick? I think that would be hilarious, but I'm kind of a bastard sometimes.



Zack Hill 1/12/09This is good because it's true. My parents don't know what texting is about and what all the abbreviations mean. However, I think that if they cared to learn they would probably know what LOL means since it's the most basic shortening of all.

Also, if they'd been texting all day, why did he wait until now to mention his dead cat? Did it die because he was texting and forgot to feed it? That seems like the most likely explanation to me.

Funky Winkerbean Forsees the Coming of the End

Funky Winkerbean 11/11/08

WATCH OUT, A TUESDAY DCR UPDATE AHHHHHH!! I have no idea what this gentleman's name is but I'd have to guess "old Mario" from his plumber-esque good looks. What's the funniest thing you can think of that this comic might be alluding to? The comments section would love to know.


Mark Trail 11/11/08

You might just want to leave him be Mark. Somebody named "Rabbit" already has no dignity and those with nothing to lose are known to be voracious fighters.


Liberty Meadows 11/11/08

South Park got it wrong when they speculated the next species to challenge humanity would be sea otters. Squirrels used to be a rare sight but their numbers have been increasing in cities and suburbs across America at an alarming rate. The furry revolution could be upon us at any time, STAY VIGILANT FELLOW CITIZENS!


Snapshots 11/10/08

Ask if she does pedicures too Bob.

Happy Afternoon Comics Review 9/24/08

Short and sweet, web and print comics, enjoy your humpday!

Hazel 9/24/08

Is she talking to the dog or the kid? This is the first time Hazel has made me laugh out loud.


My Stupid Life 9/24/08

The only difference between web comic creators and comic bloggers is artistic talent. Well, at least most of them.


Penny Arcade 9/24/08

One day I know I'll have to try and explain what the hell a 5 1/4" floppy disk is to my kids and it wont be an easy day. "Really ugly drink coasters sweety, don't worry much about it."


Gil Thorpe 9/24/08

Today is one of those rare days when people who have no idea what football is get more enjoyment out of Gil Thorpe than those who have been reading the strip for years.


Snapshots 9/24/08

As if America doesn't have enough problems with youth obesity...

The Quick and Plentiful Monday Comic Extravaganza

Lots of comics to make Monday not such a bitch, enjoy!

Snapshots 9/8/08

It's football season! I am a college football fan myself and my University of Oregon Ducks have been kicking butt so far this season. Not all daily comics fans are sports-hating nerds!


Curtis 9/8/08

Who are we kidding? Curtis has been wearing the exact same outfit as long as I have been reading this comic strip. He doesn't grow or age; I'm sure his mom buys Green hats, red shirts, jeans and giant white shoes in bulk.


Blondie 9/8/08

Does this make sense to anybody else? Somehow Dagwood has been bowling for decades without ever improving beyond mediocre. In other news, Blondie has a huge rack.


Speedbump 9/8/08

If Gary Larson got drunk one night and decided to come back the print comics world, Speedbump would be that inebriated creation.


Dilbert 9/8/08

"Get one with bacon on it."


Mark Trail 9/8/08

The lazy coloring on this strip makes it look like the Trail household is wallpapered in the tanned skin of their enemies, but I guess that could actually be the case.


The Family Circus 9/8/08

Sorry Bil Keane but these kids were born in 1960 so for the first time in a long time I can't argue with the hell spawn. I actually like the strip without the parents and dialog; you can almost imagine Dolly directing Billy and Jeffy in a reenactment of their favorite scene from Fight Club.

Comics Explained in Rediculous Detail 8/4/08

I had one of the best weekends in a long time and I'm back to the grind today. Sorry about no posts this weekend but I'm sure you'll survive! There is nothing quite like spending a few days hiking, fishing, swimming and camping away from it all. I wont forget the trip for a while, at least until my bug bites go away. Sorry for the late post, hopefully it will be sooner the rest of the week, enjoy your Monday comics review!


Amazing Super Powers 8/4/08

Amazing Super Powers is a semi-weekly web comic that updates Monday and Thursday and is quite good. Here we learn just how jaded the average local network television consumer has become to abducted children news, even if they are their own.


Mary Worth 8/4/08

Yes, this is an entire strip about the thoughts of someone buying a present for their loved one from internet retailer. No, there is absolutely nothing redeemable about Mary Worth. Go check out Enormoushop.com as it is now a hilarious spoof site made by Josh at Comics Curmudgeon.


Mallard Fillmore 8/4/08

Barack Obama is such an elitist that he can see through his eyelids. He has also never heard of Budweiser, one of the worlds crappiest beers. This is spite of their billions of dollars worth of television, print, radio, internet and billboard ads that have been everywhere for the last 30 years at least. I know we avoid politcal cartoons but this comic is just bad, regardless of your party affiliation. For daily digust of MF, check out Duck and Cover - another great comic blog.


Wizard of Id 8/4/08

"You'd have to be hired first for me to actually fire you, logistically speaking, but my readers are idiots. Plus if anybody notices, I've only got 3 panels to work with so they'll give me a break. I mean my whole wizard lab consists of this bucket and this little flask here." So so much wrong with Wizard of Id it makes my head spin.


Snapshots 8/4/08

Jason Love is the funniest unsyndicated cartoonist I have ever found. He is so consistent and puts out so much work you wonder how he gets time to do stand-up comedy too. Not an explanation of this daily comic, just a question: why hasn't this guy gotten picked up yet?

Brenda Starr 7/17/08

Ms. Starr - pro wrestler?

Sleeper Hold of Death!

Palm treed lover of seafood.
Next plot: she goes gay!

The July 9th Comics Review 2008

F Minus 7/9/08

"Also if you have a dog, or a baby, or any animals that can talk, it can be a great resource too."


Ballard Street 7/9/08

Best comic of the day right here!


Snapshots 7/9/08

If you've never seen Snapshots before don't feel bad. I only just recently discovered this great independent comic on JasonLove.com. Jason does two panels every day of the week and is also a writer and a decent stand-up comic. He is very funny and if you've never seen his work I highly suggest checking out his work.
