Jeepers, It's Commentary!

Hey there, cats and kittens. I'm back, and since I've actually been active over the past week, you can bet your sweet bippy that I'm going to plug the Meekrat Entertainment Group. You should go there and read not comic commentary, as the DCR is now pretty much the only place I comment upon comics, but web-comics and various fictions. Now then, the promised commentary:

We'll start off with my old nemesis, Girls and Sports:

Now, it's a given that I'll usually hate this comic. There's only one comic I hate more than this one, and I pretty much refuse to read that one. The question, then, is why do I hate this specific installment? For one, it's continuing with a series that started last Thursday, which was just messy and made me prone to hate it even more. Second, the recorder hate. Now, I'm not an expert on the triangle or anything, but I'm pretty sure that knowing how to play a recorder trumps knowing how to play a triangle. I realize that Marshall (a name to my enemy) is probably joking about his triangle skills, but how is that woman supposed to know it?

I think it all boils down to the fact that I hate Marshall, and I really don't think his tips are worth the bandwidth they're sent upon. Look at his smug face there in the title panel thing. Look at him. I hate him so much.

Zippy the Pinhead

Now, to lighten things up, Droopy Dog. I like Droopy. He's a class act, he is.

Soup to Nutz

I have no idea how I feel about this comic, as it's one of the many that I read and immediately forget about. Not today, though. I'm not sure if it's being serious about its hate of fourth-wall breaking (something that can be done well, but requires a good bit of skill to accomplish) but using Rat, Pig, and Lio as your straw-men? For shame!

Chuckle Brothers

I had to read this one once or twice before I realized what the supposed joke what, and figuring out brought me no chuckles whatsoever. It's just shameful, really.

Zippy the zombie tap danced on the 4th and got heavily frisked by a toaster.

Good morning, all.  Arkholt again.  Last time, I neglected to mention my other comic blog thing, The Silent Penultimate Panel.  For those who wish, please check it out.

Here's more comic blurbs, which I hope will serve to wake you up a bit.

Zippy the Pinhead:

As today is laundry day for myself as well as many others, I hope that we will all find it as interesting as Zippy does.  I know I never do.  Neither the washers nor dryers at my laundromat have windows, so I can't watch them go round and round anyway.  They don't even have indicators for how much longer they're going to take, so I just have to wait there and hope they'll be done soon.

Good for Zippy, though.  He can make anything interesting.

Reality Check:

This is either extremely sad or extremely creepy or both.  I have to admit that "heavy frisking" is indeed a very amusing phrase, however.

They Flying McCoys:

"You're...  at toaster!  A toaster!  No, no...  is it a movie?  It's a movie!  The Brave Little Toaster!  Yes!  No, no, no...  No!  No more hints!  No hints!  I'm going to get this..."

Beetle Bailey:

Depending on how good Zero is at tap dancing, I believe that it could put people to sleep.  Of course, Camp Swampy could always just break down and buy a recording of Taps and play it over the loudspeaker.  Watching people fall asleep from Zero's tap dancing would be far more entertaining, though, I think.

Over the Hedge:

It would only really work to add him to the group if he was a zombie animal.  I'd read it if there was a zombie animal.  Like the skunk that they conjured up for the movie.  I'd love to see her dead...  er, I mean undead.

Flight Deck:

I bet people whose birthdays are on holidays get those kinds of questions all the time.  "What's it like?" I bet when they're kids it's cool, but the older they get the more annoying it must be.  "Do you realize you're the fiftieth person to ask me that today?  Do you realize you're not the only one who thinks it's neat to have your birthday on a national holiday?  Do you realize that fewer people are probably going to come to my birthday party because they're all out having 4th of July celebrations?"

Yes, as you guessed, I'd be only slightly bitter.  Good thing my birthday's not on a holiday.
