Of Deer and Moose

Wednesday has come to pass once again. Apparently some pizza company gave Bryce some coupons and Bryce has suggested that we mention their pizza in our posts to see if we can get some more free stuff. Only I never bothered to learn what the thing is called so I can't really mention them. I'm sure their pizza is terrific though.

Adam@Home 3/10/10

They don't make Donkey Kong games like that anymore. Now he's either racing a gokart, fighting other gaming mascots, or banging on a bongo.

Also, that's not how 3-D works. You wouldn't be able to fight the 3-D DK because he wouldn't be tangible.

Also also, I really want to write 3-DK. There. It's done. Now we can resume the normal post.



Chuckle Bros 3/10/10

This is cute on paper but that's it. This joke can never work in spoken form because 'you' and 'ewe' are pronounced the same so the person hearing the joke would not understand the punchline. It kind of ruins the joke for me because I know that none of those people in the audience are getting the joke they way we are and I feel sad for them. Stupid empathy.

The Boiling Point 3/10/10

Um, yeah, they do.

Frog Applause 3/10/10

I know of one sure way to destroy a person's will to live: make them look at Frog Applause all day. I don't know what it is exactly, but it fills me with a despair that knows no bounds. I think it's the combination of crappy/weird art and the consistent lack of humor. Hell, I'd even accept some humour at this point.

Pickles 3/10/10

Pickles, however, made my day. It was a smart little joke that was unexpected and thats about all you can ask for from a comic strip. It was so good that I almost smirked, which is high praise for something that isn't about sex and has no curse words in it.

Plenty of Tongue

It's the last day of September. Only 86 more days 'till Christmas! Better start shopping now or you'll never get done.


The Boiling Point 9/30/09

Why is he shitting in the woods? Is he the Pope or something?



Bozo 9/30/09

This is one of subtlest jokes I've seen. I think most people that aren't English majors will miss it.



The Last Kiss 9/30/09

The last panel was subtle, but this one shouts the joke at you.

That's one reason I like The Last Kiss, it isn't afraid to put the punchline right in front of you. I'm not sure how it manages to get bestiality jokes past an editor though.

The Eagle returns

Another Friday arrives to taunt us. Why must you do this, Friday? WHY? Also, if anyone has any ideas for what I could explore with the Sunday Best thing, please let me know on the forum or something. I do have a few ideas, but would appreciate input. Now, on with the show!

The Boiling Point, 9/11/09

Hold on, you're allowed to use "Blogger" as a profession now? Or do you have to get paid first?

The Doozies, 9/11/09

That's not a frog. That's some sort of lizard.

Fred Basset, 9/11/09

This never struck me as the sort of strip that would introduce extraterrestrials into it, but if anything, the addition of aliens will liven things up a bit. What I'm saying here is that Fred Basset is going to get probed.

Pluggers, 9/11/09

What Pluggers is saying, however, is that Pluggers are old. Or, possibly, immortal.

Ziggy, 9/11/09

That eagle from last week's Heathcliff is back, and this time he's after Ziggy. However, since it wouldn't look right for an eagle to carry off a... whatever Ziggy is, the eagle will steal Ziggy's food until the latter dies of starvation. The fact that this is also sowing discontent between Ziggy and his dog is just a bonus. Which bad comic strip will the eagle strike next?

If Only I Had A Book Deal

In this post I get offended by a comic and then defend my position. It isn't very funny, unless you hate me or something then it might be funny.

But don't leave just yet! There are other comics that I do write funny things about. Well, they aren't that funny, but more funny than the one that I got mad at.

B.C. 8/26/09

I don't think a regular person would train their dog to maim. And I really don't think that 'maim' would be the word they would use. I'm thinking it would be something along the lines of 'kill' or 'attack' or perhaps 'get the homo'(exclusively for use in Texas) but maybe that's just the way I would do it.



The Boiling Point 8/26/09

I didn't give this one much thought when I first saw it but it stuck with me. I think it's because of the generalization of bloggers as people just trying to get rich and famous. I'm not going to say that we don't want to be rich and famous, but I don't think that most bloggers have that as their main goal. It would be stupid to think that millions of people want to hear about your life so much that they would pay for it.

I can't speak for the countless bloggers out there, but I mostly do this because I enjoy it. It's nice to see that other people like what I write or even that they hate it enough to make a comment, but it isn't really necessary. The other blog I do rarely gets more than 10 views a day and I'm still updating that one because it's a labor of love, I'm not in it for the money. If I was, I would have quit by now because I haven't made any.



Bozo 8/26/09

I don't have any commentary on this comic, I just enjoyed it because it's clever.

And Now I Can Resume

Those of you that follow me on twitter may have already guessed what has happened. Basically my computer was trying to commit suicide. Not being able to afford a new computer I had to talk it down from the ledge. And after several days I was finally able to get up and running in smooth fashion again.

I do apologize for the missed days as there were some quite a few comics that could have been eviscerated. You shall receive a larger than average post today, enjoy.

Beetle Bailey 7/29/09

What? What comes in a box that small? Jewelry? What a gold-digging whore.

But really, what the hell is that? It looks like any eye patch, but I think it's supposed to be a thong.

Also, Killer is either having a stroke or an orgasm. Let's hope it's a stoke so he'll die and we won't have to see him ever again.



Baldo 7/29/09

Shame is not a sin. Not when it involves an old man in a speedo. I think he should be farther away.



Gil Thorp 7/29/09

Taking a cue from Mark Trail, Gil Thorp has decided that the villain of the current storyline should look appropriately evil by adding facial hair in the form of a horrifying goatee.



Bound and Gagged 7/29/09

Because I have my very own wake-up cock.

Also, hotels don't let you bring livestock to your room. Not even one that is hosting a farmers convention.

Also also, is this supposed to be a half-assed attempt at a joke about Comic-Con?



The Boiling Point 7/29/09

Why is that woman bleeding? She shouldn't be bleeding all over like that from water-boarding.

Also, is there such a thing as a strawberry-scented douche? Because that would be more hilarious than The Boiling Point could ever hope to be.



Ferd'nand 7/29/09

What kind of shitty paper-shack does Ferd'nand live in? Unless he is using a railroad spike, there is no way the nail should stick that far out the other side of the wall.



Committed 7/29/09

I don't get it. Maybe because Independence Day the holiday was weeks ago and Independence Day the movie was more than a decade ago.

Hint: If you're going to do movie jokes, make sure it's a movie that is less than 5 years old and/or was extremely memorable.

Grasping at Straws

It's one thing to neglect my own blog, but I'll not neglect another's blog, no sir. Also, I went through the archives of Skin Horse and, as it turns out, the two strips I looked at last week totally make sense in context and the whole thing is really pretty good. Now then, onto what you people come here for...

Bizarro 7/16/09

If he's blind, how does he know it's a bunny costume? Also, with that costume, there's a whole sub-section of people who would welcome him with open arms. Of course, that could just serve to make his blues that much worse.

Henry 7/16/09

It took me like, ten minutes to get what the heck was going on here, but in the end, I think it's one of those things where a person's body acts up before a storm, and the vaguely creepy Henry knows that the cop's corns act up before it rains. Yes, today's commentary is going to suck pretty badly.

The Boiling Point 7/16/09

I... I don't know why I picked this one. It just seemed like something I could be funny about, but really, I can't. I do like how perfectly they captured the stereotypical female-skewed romantic comedy with "Boobs & Balls". I'm also curious as to what "Pink Stuff" would be about. You know, other than stuff that's pink.

C'est La Vie, 7/16/09

Taken out of context, this sounds vaguely dirty.

Tiny Sepuku, 7/16/09

Aww. I get your PaRappa the Rapper reference, Tiny Sepuku, and I think it's quite charming.

Where Is Everybody?

Well, it seems that my fellow writers have abandoned me. I don't know what has become of them, but I shall soldier on and try to do the daily thing solo, as a brave young blogger once did many months ago. Perhaps someone will join me in my quest to find the worst of the good and the best of the bad.

Here's your regularly scheduled comics bashing.


Prickly City 6/30/09

Wait, people still watch network TV news? Don't they have the internet?



Gasoline Alley 6/30/09

I don't know what's going on here, but I like that ass-shot. If there's anything that comic strips need more of, I think we can all agree that it's ass-shots.



Bound and Gagged 6/30/09

Is this ironic or just lame?



The Boiling Point 6/30/09

Fact: Most things in your local grocery store are not bad for you and are not created by slave labor.

This is a fact that this creator has chosen to ignore in order to make a joke about the unaffordability of "organic food" and the questionable safety of products that do not exist. Believe me, there is no such food as cow bits. I've looked.
