It's Friday again, folks. Time marches on, inexhaustible and unforgiving. To make the long trek towards your inevitable death less melancholic, why not take a look at Carafe? It has varied comedic stylings, and the current installment will teach you a valuable lesson. Or how about Time-Mind Sync-Warp? Today's nostalgia and misogyny flavored installment will make you feel bittersweet memories of years past and anger at the mistreatment of women. With that, let's focus on comics which appeared today in newspapers and Internets across the world, viewed by hundreds if not thousands of people. You should feel humble, a mere speck of sentience in a sea of humanity.
Off the Mark and Strange Brew, 01/29/10
We start off this lovely Friday with two panels with the same joke. This time, it's about how bears use the woods as a bathroom. We can't go anywhere but up from here, folks!
Arctic Circle, 01/29/10
Especially when we go to Renaissance-era full-frontal nudity. I know it's a work of art and all and you can't really see anything, but if that one old episode of "The Simpsons" is any indication, then people would still get into a huff about this. Especially since it's supposedly a newspaper strip.
Cathy, 01/29/10
If I were Cathy, I'd probably have killed myself years ago. But if I were Cathy in today's strip, then I wouldn't get too excited. Irving is probably smart enough to realize you're holding the DSL cable or whatever, and he intends to plug it back in. Then again, he did marry Cathy, so we can't be sure he's very smart at all.
Moose and Molly, 01/29/10
They never found Moose's body after this ill-fated sled trip.
Gunshow, 01/29/10
I have a question, comic strip. How did that dog survive the fall? Unless it's Demidog. Then it makes perfect sense.
xkcd, 01/29/10
This comic only makes me feel sad for the poor robot. I shall go weep with sadness, and eat cookies in order to make the sadness end. It will not work: I do not have nearly enough cookies.
With that, have a good a weekend folks.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I don't have any idea if Mike will be making a post but just in case I decided to pre-empt him with one a day early. BOOYA SPIDER-MAN GUY!
Nedroid 11/25/09
I'm thankful for xy and Mike, all our Project Wonderful advertisers and our amazing fans!
XKCD 11/24/09
Something about this time of year always reminds me of that damn ski game. Somebody needs to remake it in 3d or maybe make a full length motion picture based on it. Rainbow jumps, annoying snowboarders, logs, dogs and snow monsters!
The Middletons 11/25/09
So did you know this whole "turkey makes you sleepy" thing is total shit? Please enlighten yourself and everyone you know so we can stop these LIES! Here's an article backing it up.
Dinosaur Comics 11/25/09
In America it is easy to forget that not everywhere is the same as here. For example did you know in Canadia they don't even celebrate the fourth Thursday of November? Come on Canadia, get with the times already!
XKCD 4/8/09
Happy 10th birthday Matrix! For a movie where you're in a computer and can do whatever you want with the power of your mind, there was a surprising (at least for me) lack of boning that ultimately led to disappointment with the series. Hopefully someone will go back and remake the second two so they're not so.... bad.
Shoe 4/8/09
It's a little known fact, but did you know the screamer was the artist's impression of a person's reaction to having read a random Shoe strip? Just awful in every aspect.
Bound and Gagged 4/8/09
Although often ignored by cartoonists, Lost is still in it's 5th season and is slated to continue on through the 6th and final season in another year. Therefor, there is no complete set of the show, you time traveling dunce.
Popeye 4/8/09
"Arrr, she knows about me plans for tha hookars and blow." Seriously, how else is Popeye going to spend millions, forearm reduction surgery?
XKCD 1/28/09
Carlos Mencia was a little bit funny when his show first premiered on Comedy Central as some sort of Mexican Chapelle's Show. Carlos is no Dave Chapelle, and his real name is Ned. He is offensive only for the sake of making money and unlike the DCR he actually convinced some one to pay him.
Close to Home 1/28/09
Close to Home is syndicated in hundreds of newspapers around the country, but somehow the editors allowed this strip about killing your mother-in-law through. Maybe it's because there is no blood, but the image of a lady dragging the bound and bagged up body, possibly on her way down to the nearest pier or local pig farm, is still profoundly disturbing and has no place in a family newspaper. It does just fine here though.
Drabble 1/28/09
Speaking of more non-family friendly shit, how about a comic strip about a guy who'd rather jack off than do it with his wife? THAT SHIRT HE'S WEARING USED TO BE ALL BLUE.
Ferd'nand 1/28/09
Consistency, consistency, consistency. At least they kept the correct leg broken throughout the whole comic.
So, the first Saturday of a New Year. Most people make resolutions for New Year's, but I never have, mostly because I don't need to change anything. I am perfect in all ways, bask in my glory! Mwhahaha!!
Just kidding. Here's the comics that Bryce liked this week along with my awesome commentary:
Bizzaro 12/31/09
This actually brings up a good point. Almost every region and religion on Earth has it's own definition of when the calander ends. How does one decide if your ancestry is of several places that each have a different New Year? Personally I would go with Chinese New Year cause they have those cool parades and kick ass fireworks.
Diesel Sweeties 1/2/09
Here we have a prime example of web comics. Diesel Sweeties, while contained to the internet again, was in papers and really shares the same sensibilities as print comics. It has a story line, for the most part, and it's not really interesting. The main difference between Diesel Sweeties and print comics is smut. Diesel Sweeties isn't afraid to go low to score laughs, but really why is it called "fapping"? And I don't think that robots have anything to fap or jerk, so going low for laughs doesn't really work in this one.
XKCD 1/2/09
This is one of the few comics that I've ever read (not named Calvin & Hobbes) that made me laugh out loud. Of course, I then announced that I knew that they were listening because it really is fool proof.
Dinosaur Comics 10/22/08
Instead of "I'm lazy" you could say "I have the work ethic of the Daily Comics Review".
Family Circus 10/22/08
"Punished? Every day of my life is consumed by you and your fellow 'gifts from god'. MY LIFE IS HELL, WHY GOD WHY?" You set em up Keane brothers and I knock em down.
Beetle Bailey 10/22/08
Am I to understand that Beetle doesn't even take off the hat when he's shagging Miss Buxley? You learn something every day. For example, did you know Miss B is in every Wednesday strip? No one knows why.
XKCD 10/22/08
God I hate that too. Somebody always uses a really crappy small word for the first one and it makes the rest of the game suck.
Oh DCR, how I have missed you. I have been busy working over at the Internets Was Yes, but I have not forgot you. In fact, all of my exploration of the internets has led me to find two respectable web comics. Enjoy, and I will see you next week.

Taking it easy on a Wednesday here. I'm curious if anybody was interested in my little report on what I did on my vacation or if you prefer that I continue to be the shadowy man behind the scenes? Either way it wont be often, but if the fans don't like it then it wont be ever!
XKCD 9/3/08
Furries are real people too. Just like Family Circus fans or DCR authors, they deserve your compassion and understanding.
The Lockhorns 9/3/08
What is it I hate so much about the Lockhorns? The sham marriage jokes every other day? The awful art where a sleeping bag looks like a trap door and lamps, backpacks and paddles float in the air? For Christ's sake, they felt the readers are so stupid then need to tell us all this crap they drew are "camping gear". Hate Hate Hate.
Judge Parker 9/3/08
"Hold on a sec Steve, I've got liquid darkness pouring out of my eye hole again."
Zack Hill 9/3/08
Chauncey and I have both been watching too much Sopranos
Today we've got continuity issues, color problems and failed satire followed up by incorrect sound effects, sexual economy and dick jokes. Who would have thought all this goodness could show up in just one day in the comics? This has been a landmark week for print comics and web comics and this blog! Google has been giving me great page ranking and more and more people find DCR every day. Welcome to all our new readers and thanks to everybody that comes and reads my comics ramblings every day.
XKCD 7/16/08
An illustration of the perfect web comic today with XKCD. It is so simple and elegant with just enough inappropriateness to keep it out of the newspapers.
Mark Trail 7/16/08
Besides breaking the comic strip rule of show (draw) instead of tell (write it out), a gun would only be making a WHAM! sound if Cherry was smashing Kelly Welly in the skull with it. You wouldn't find anybody opposed to that idea, but instead the artist went the family friendly route. Next time I'd just go with BLAM! for that classic gun sound effect touch.
Herd And Jamaal 7/16/08
Who labels their coffee mugs with their names? This must be a result of Sarah going overboard after she found Herb wearing her undergarments. "How was I supposed to know they were YOUR panties?" And the rest is history, thanks to the label gun.
Jack Ohman 7/16/08
How can you write about comics and not comment about the hoopla surrounding the New Yorker's Barack Obama cover? My answer is to post this comic as a cop-out and not say anything else!
We The Robots 7/16/08
The robot overlord boss strongly reminds me of the amazing game Portal from Valve. There's also something about dancing robots you can't ignore.
Barney Google & Snuffy Smith 7/16/08
Things we can learn from today's BG&SS:
1-Cartoonists and colorists have communication problems.
2-Whoever colors the strip hates it so much they don't even bother to read the dialog.
3-Peppermint fixes stomach cramps?
Archie 7/16/08
I'm sorry but did something happen in Archie today? I apologize for asking but I was distracted by THE GIANT CAMELTOE in all 3 panels. There are some contours you're just not supposed to draw - especially in a family friendly comic like Archie claims to be.
Diesel Sweeties web comic 7/16/08
It's the biggest comic we've ever featured on DCR but it needed to be done. Richard Stevens hits the perfect mix of business/economics lingo and body objectification to satisfy my inner BA nerd needs. It is rare, even in web comics, to see so much dialog that actually ends up being worth your time once you get done reading it. So read it already!
I hope everyone is looking forward to the 4 day work week! We also have a plethora of fireworks and flag waving comics heading our way thanks to the 4th of July. I am surprised there weren't any of these comics out today but I'm sure the artists will make up for this negligence the rest of the week.
XKCD 6/30/08
XKCD is the geekiest web comic that is actually funny on the web today. Most of the time the jokes are way over my head, but it would be impossible for most people to enjoy this panel.
Diesel Sweeties web comic 6/30/08
"It's the circle of life, and it moves us all..."
We The Robots 6/30/08
Something about 2 robots who are completely illogical giving each other a high-five was just perfect today.
F Minus 6/30/08
Another fantastic World's Worst Grandpa comic from Tony Carrillo today. WWG is probably my favorite semi-regular running gag in the comics pages and I get the impression I'm not the only one who feels this way.
