Tuesday Once Again

I was gone.

Now I'm back.

Here's some comics.



Bewley 3/16/10

I hope this is a rerun. But even if it is, what the hell? Isn't there an editor or something that checks for this kind of thing? Anybody at all to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen?

Other than being out of place, it's not too terrible of a comic.

Brenda Starr 3/16/10

Why can't he expose himself to corruption? That'd be way more fun.

And I'm pretty sure Solomon could solve this idiotic dilemma. He was smart, whereas this guy is dumb and tries to act smart by using phrases like 'existential question' when they don't really fit the conversation.



Bound and Gagged, Chuckle Bros 3/16/10


Is it Wizard of Oz day or something? An anniversary or birthday? Anything at all to justify 2 strips referencing it on the same day?

Even if it is some important day involving The Wizard of Oz, that's no excuse to phone it in like Chuckle Bros did. There isn't even a joke in there.



Eek! 3/16/10

I hope this is a rerun from 1995. If it isn't, then /slamheadintowallrepeatedly.

Whee!

You get zero guesses where I got these comics from.


Brenda Starr 2/8/10

Twitter must have jumped the shark pretty hard because it seems like it's popping up in comic strips all the time these days and it's being depicted more and more accurately.

Also, 'tweeting twerp' is actually sort of clever. It's not great, but it's not horrible either.



Rabbits Against Magic 2/8/10

Some newer diseases do seem made up by drug companies and doctors but they are usually real.

Restless Leg Syndrome is a real problem, just not for as many people as are currently diagnosed with it. The problem is that companies advertise their drugs that cure 'syndrome Q' on TV and gullible people see the ads and then 'discover' that they have had this disorder all their life and they never knew about it. Then they go to their doctor and demand the medication and since the doctor has heard the same stupid thing 10 times already that day just prescribes the medication after the patient tells them that they have all the symptoms of 'syndrome Q'.

It's the same with things like webMD. People go on there and type in some symptoms and decide that they have African Sleeping Sickness and go to their doctor and the doctor has to waste time telling the person that they can't possibly have African Sleeping Sickness for a number of reasons.

The moral of the lesson is that part of the reason that the US health system is so screwed up is because people are wasting doctor time to get checked for illnesses they couldn't get unless they tried really hard. I wouldn't doubt that at least 10 morons went to the doctor last year because they thought they had polio.

Also, 'SMECK!' is a pretty sweet sound effect.

B.C. 2/8/10

Man's finest ego is not ice fishing. It's breathing and feeding tubes and all the other medical wonders that can keep dead people alive.

Although they might not remember those things in the future-past that is the setting for B.C.

Also, that's not how you would want to do that. Plus that ice would weigh quite a bit and I'm pretty sure that he's not that strong.

Ginger Meggs 8/25/09

This comic sucks but I do enjoy how his mouth has turned into a sphincter. It made me smile.

Bob the Squirrel 8/25/09

Umm...no. No that's not how frosting works.

Brenda Starr 8/25/09

It seems that some writers like to bold things for no reason. This is known as Mark Trail Syndrome and is currently incurable.

If you read just the bold, you actually get a good idea of the story without all those other words.

"Want orange," "First" "MMM papers?"

Isn't that funnier and more interesting than all the other crap?

Oh no! I think I may have caught MTS!
