Watch Out for Kite-Eating Trees

I know I've been pretty flaky with the Sunday posts but hopefully from this point on there will be a regular stream of Sunday comics.

Ronaldinho Gaucho

Unless eating your vegetables also turns you into a man, this is veering awful close to child pornography.  I guess not drawing the nipples make it okay.

That's Life

Wouldn't this work better with Batman considering the 1960s Batman TV show had all the "POW!" and "ZOW!" and "BORT!" graphics?  Also considering Superman would be impervious to being stabbed by an action bubble makes this comic not work.

Funky Winkerbean

"Yeah, that Class of '11 just isn't as good as the Class of '10.  I hope they all die."

"Well, considering this is 'Funky Winkerbean' that is a plausible storyline."

Blondie

I love how Dithers hit Dagwood so hard with a pillow that it knocked Dag's shoe off.  Now that's a wallop.

Mary Worth

Sweet Jesus.  First Wilbur takes his fake son fishing and then takes his real daughter kite flying?  Does Wilbur not know how to have a good time?

Zits

I love Bazooka Joe comics.  I kind of wish there a book that reprinted the thousands of strips that have been produced.  I also hope somewhere in those strips is the story of why Joe wears that eyepatch.  Some horrible marble accident I assume.

Gasoline Alley

Hmm, considering birds could give a flying fig about our timekeeping methods I don't think they really notice our time change because they still wake up at the crack of dawn.

Now you all need to go over to my site and follow me on Twitter.

You Can't Unread It

Once you've read today's DCR, you can't unread it. Also, go read Carafe and Time-Mind Sync-Warp. This I suggest VERY STRONGLY.

That's Life, 2/10/10

What does that pelican need protection from, and why does he have a clipboard petition to help him obtain it?

Pros and Cons, 2/10/10

I just put this up here because I'm amazed that the colorists actually colored the background lilac. Or, at least, a shade of purple that I'm pretty sure is lilac.

Meaning of Lila, 2/10/10

Hold on a second. Pier W? I've been there. Which means that this comic strip takes place in Cleveland. My goodness, the things one learns unexpectedly.

Deep Cover, 2/10/10

Pshaw. Everyone knows that death rays don't work on Godzilla. The only two things that have reliably killed Godzilla are the oxygen destroyer and a nuclear chain reaction occuring within his body. Also, how the heck are those elephant-men and Barack Obama still alive? Then again, the last panel is rather fiery. Perhaps they all perished in the blast are now in Hell.

Crankshaft, 2/10/10

I was wondering a few weeks ago why Crankshaft never ran over Keesterman's mailbox anymore (I really was, it's very sad) and now I know the answer: it's because Crankshaft is afraid of getting shot. A good reason, I guess. This also means that Crankshaft's ritual destruction of the mailbox was probably intentional, which is really not surprising at all.

Comics I Don't Understand

Here are the comics I read today that I just did not understand. Maybe you'll understand them. Also, check out the original Comics I Don't Understand where CIDU Bill does a much better job.

Neurotica 12/22/09

Is he sick? What's that thing on his blanket? A cat? Because he sleeps with a cat, does this mean he's hacking up a hairball? While Big Al, the gal does draw better than me, what's going on in this comic is a complete mystery to me.

Zack Hill 12/22/09

I'm assuming the joke is they were supposed to split up but ended up together because everyone wants some form of electronic device? If so, then the looks of utter distress in the last panel are completely uncalled for.

Animal Crackers 12/22/09

Gnats apparently have homes and celebrate human holidays. Good to know.

That's Life 12/22/09

Is...is it funny because she's just a little girl and she can play very complicated Beethoven concertos? If that's the joke, then Mike Twohy needs to brush up on his comic strip history.

Liberty Meadows 12/22/09

I love a good Simpsons cameo as much as the next person but what does this mean? Liberty Meadows is in Springfield? Chief Wiggum and Lou are moonlighting as Liberty Meadows police officers?

Saturday Comics 5/24/08

Happy memorial day weekend! I'm trying a new photo uploading process to see if I can get full size pictures on here so you don't have to click on the pictures to read them. We'll see how it works!


That's Life 5/24/08

I rarely get a laugh-out-loud reaction reading the comics page but the absurdity of this one just hit me in the right spot at the right time. If you're going out swimming somewhere this weekend, don't let this be you.


F Minus 5/24/08

Ah F Minus, how you make my day. The Saturday comics were surprisingly good this week, or I guess I'm just in a good mood from the 3 day weekend.


Judge Parker 5/24/08

Since when does someone accused of drug trafficking get the right to talk with people outside of their case? Judge Parker has been existing outside of reality for far too long and needs to replug with a storyline about going to the grocery store and then coming home and cooking a nice 3 course meal.


TOBY 5/24/08

Simultaneously hilarious and disgusting, TOBY is one of a collection of robots in the funny pages that I really enjoy. He is, to my knowledge, the only robot that thinks he is in fact Satan. He is also an alcoholic and his posture resembles that of an overly pregnant woman. If you were to take all these characteristics to attribute them to a human or other living creature in the comics they would be hilarious, but Corey Pandolph went for the coup de grâce with the robot.
