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.

The Devin's In The Details

An expected post today, hopefully it won't interfer with additional posts this week.


Nest Heads 5/5/09 Yes, we know, old people don't get how the internet works, you can stop now. If this is good enough to be printed in newspapers, then I should be a novelist.



Rudy Park 5/5/09

This must have been written right when they were having the 'protests'. It's a little behind the times, but still funny.

To any of the people that may have participated in the Tea Bagging: You are stupid. If you don't make more than $250,000 a year, your taxes are not being increased. Stop being mad about things that you don't effect you.

I could go on, but in the interest of keeping my rage under control, I will stop for now.



F Minus 5/5/09
Why wouldn't the Devil use his devilish powers to get the pizza? I mean, come on, it's the Devil.



Daddy's Home 5/5/09
I'm not married, so I don't know if this is how it really works. It doesn't seem like it is, but I have no way of knowing at this point.

Any readers that are married are welcome to comment and tell us if this is a real situation.



B.C. 5/5/09
Why is that humiliating? Many animals have horny tissues, including humans.

B.C. fails in this attempt to use word play appropriately. Which is not uncommon, B.C. usually fails at its attempts to make jokes.



9 Chickweed Lane 5/5/09
So she jumped out of her shoes and off a cliff? Am I getting that right? And if she jumped from such a great height, why is she worried about her dress flying up? I'd be more worried about, you know, having all my bones crushed. Maybe that's just me.

And before Slager(formerly KT) can say it: yes, those do not appear to be six inch heels.

Close to a Point

I apologize for all those days I missed. This week should be a little better.

I'm also gearing up for a very special post. Those of you keeping track (read: none of you) might notice that I'm nearing the 100 post mark. I haven't decided what I'm doing, but I hoping for something really cool.

Luann 4/27/09
I'm sure that's what firefighters are saying. "Oh, my stars! Thank goodness for these suits or we'd be burned alive, don'tcha know!"



Grand Avenue 4/27/09
Does anyone pay attention to yippy dogs besides their owners? And this is surely a sign that iPods are on the way out. There's no coming back from becoming a comic strip joke.



B.C. 4/27/09

The people that own the rights to Captain Caveman are going to be pissed at B.C.

Also, does that guy have no sensation in his skin? He should be able to feel if it's humid or not just by standing there.

Soup to Nutz 4/27/09

What the hell kind of bug is that? It looks like an ant, but it has wings and is extremely aggressive. It would make a little sense if this was set in Australia or Africa where they have crazy bugs like that.



Cow & Boy 4/27/09

Question: How did Cow get his wings on?

Answer: Who cares? He's got a flame thrower!

Super Post to the Rescue!

Sorry about the other day, I was being lazy and then I had to do the DCR post because Bryce was out of commission. Here's a bunch for you today. I even ventured to the depths of Gocomics.com for you today.

Remember to take breaks when using your computer for extended time periods.


Bound and Gagged 4/7/09
This is either a poop joke or a subtle jab at the state of London's premier newspaper.

I bet it's a poop joke.



Reynolds Unwrapped 4/7/09

Much funnier caption:"The lip transplant didn't take so they put an organ in her mouth."

That's right, I went there.

Joe Vanilla 4/7/09

Silly crudely drawn man, don't you know that no one actually reads blogs?

Secret Asian Man 4/7/09

I went to see Watchmen (not as good as advertised, but what is these days?) and for some reason, another theater patron decided that it would be a good idea to bring their small child. I mean really small, only slightly bigger than an infant. What is wrong with people? First off, the material is too smart for most adults to understand so a child that can't speak doesn't need to speak. Second off, there was some extreme violence and nudity which no child needs to see. Third off, the movie wasn't that good, I could have told you it wasn't going to be that good in January. If you couldn't find someone to babysit, it wouldn't have been a loss to stay at home.

The child didn't make any noise at least.

The Knight Life 4/7/09

It looks more like a cat than a cat-woman. And I don't think that the Hulk cares about the environment since he his a mindless killing machine (the good Hulk is anyway).

It's All About You 4/7/09

Women only exist to make men feel guilty. Nice display of originality. NOT!

Did you see what I did there? Using an old, unoriginal joke to mock a comic that's using an old, unoriginal joke is great fun. You should try it.

Girls & Sports 4/7/09

Damn that equality. Why couldn't the men of the '60's and '70's have stood up to those bitches?
Probably because they were burning their bras, which makes it impossible to say no to a woman.

BC 4/7/09

Women's only joy in life is to tell others what to do. Even cavemen were subjected to the tyranny of the cavewomen.

Was it Woman Bashing Day or something? I found 3 comics and I only looked at slightly more than what you see here.

F Minus 4/7/09

Do they have cookies in the Girl Scout Reserves? If so, then sign me up!

Oh damn, I forgot I'm not a 12-year-old girl. Anymore.

Just kidding. I'll always be a 12-year-old girl in my heart.

Little Dog Lost 4/7/09

Yes, trust the lemming. He is your friend and would never lead you to danger. The lemming will always protect you.

Until you run off a cliff because you were dumb enough to trust the lemming.

Fresh Meat

We have some new(er) comics to add to the list of unreadable, unfunny garbage. Today's first two comics are new to comics.com and, as usual, terrible. At least they are so far, we'll see if they get any better.


Little Dog Lost 4/2/09Yeah, don't yell anything at me from your coffin after you die and are unable to speak because you are no longer alive.

I hate when people say stupid things like that.



It's All About You 4/2/09
What if I sold my soul to the Devil? Then you'd be messing with his property and I don't think that's something you want.

Also, please don't punch me in the face. I don't care what you do to my soul, but leave my face alone.



Girls & Sports 4/2/09
Why is technology involved in . . . that word? Damn, I'm so manly that I can't even type it. I must have dropped an extra testicle recently.

Side Note: If I had dropped an extra testicle, I would have 5. That's right, I was born with 4 testicles.

Side Note to Side Note: I do not have extra testicles. I have the normal amount for a regular human.

Side Note to Side Note of Side Note: This has been an exercise to see how many times I could type testicle in reference to one comic. I think I did pretty good.



Family Tree 4/2/09
Sales people are stupid. People that believe sales people are really stupid. I'm not saying they're stupid all the time, they just made a stupid decision based on someone exploiting their emotions.



B.C. 4/2/09
His 'dignity' must be huge because that's one long throat.



Arlo & Janis 4/2/09
I don't understand what being a man has to do with shitting in the garden. Are a lot of guys shitting in their girlfriend's/wife's garden? If they are they should likely be arrested because that is indecent exposure, among other things.



Committed 4/2/09
Ha . . . ha . . . ha. What a clever joke about the fact that babies can't communicate. How mind-numbingly original. Wait, what's that thing that's the opposite of original? Because the definition of that word is this comic.

Wrath of the Vacuum

Another daily dose of comic bashing is on the way to your mind. Prepare yourself.




Rubes 3/26/09What do they what equality for? And why don't they have shoes on?

Rubes fails today, as it usually does.

Pickles 3/26/09

??

What the hell does that mean? Is opal a good thing?

Moderately Confused 3/26/09

The writer couldn't come up with a more original name for a Chinese restaurant than Hunan Palace?

So the joke is that the guy doesn't know that you can buy fortune cookies at the store? Or is it that he thinks the fortunes at Hunan Palace are better than at the other palaces?

I hate comic panels sometimes.

B.C. 3/26/09

B.C. is continuing to add unintentional humor with inappropriate sound effects.

At least SNATCH is better than POOP.

Dog Eat Doug 3/26/09

Dr. Who is cool.

That is all.

USPS Is Better Than UPS Because They Have An Extra Letter

Sorry about yesterday, but I was overloaded. I still have a lot on my plate, but I have some extra time so it all works out. Here's an extra-large update for you.


B.C. 3/24/09 Is "POOP" supposed to be a sound effect? Because all I'm getting is that the bird took a crap between the panels.

Flo & Friends 3/24/09 Haha, another joke about old people and how they have bad memories. Hahaha. Stop, stop, you're killing me with your originality.

Rudy Park 3/24/09

How does this relate to the recession? People have been failing to be healthy for decades, not just in the last year.

Why do comic strips even try to be up-to-date.

Pickles 3/24/09

Oh, my.

Why? Why? That's all I want to know. WHY!!??

Momma 3/24/09

Yes, all of us men are sociopaths that want to capture women to be our personal slaves.

What would comic strips do if stereotypes didn't exist? I think they would cease to be and we could all get on with our lives.

Herb & Jamaal 3/24/09

Does that mean she thinks he is stupid? There are much better and simpler ways to insult someone, especially when you aren't even talking out loud. You can think anything to yourself and no one will ever know, so why use some kind of insane metaphor.

I have never heard anyone say that in reference to anything, ever. Not even in reference to an actual path.

The Dinette Set 3/24/09

Fuck you, Dinette Set. Fuck you. My dad was a postal carrier and was on time every motherfucking day. Even the days when it snowed 6 feet in an hour, you could count on the mail being delivered. So fuck you for being ignorant assholes.

Sorry about all that, but I have strong feelings when you insult my family, even if it's not directly or intentionally.

Make Tonight a HuManwich Night

Just in case you didn't read about it already(and most of you didn't) there is a new poll, no really, it's over the the right of your screen, towards the top, it's about how much content you want to see, so I suggest that you vote on it, or I'll just start doing whatever the hell I want, and nobody wants that.

Did you realize that the last paragraph was a single sentence? It probably shouldn't be, but I wanted to see how long I could keep it going. Well, anyway, here's the day in comics:


The Barn 3/18/09
Yeah, chicks dig cows too. But not sheep, chicks hate sheep.



Rubes 3/18/09

Would this be any funnier if it were a human standing there and the last option was HuManwiches? I think it would, although, I am a cannibal.

F-Minus 3/18/09

The real trick is how he managed to tie himself in a way that he can't untie himself. I would pay more to see that than I would to see someone untie themselves.

Ferd'nand 3/18/09

I must say that I think it would be really hard to write a strip everyday without using words. Having said that, what the hell is going on? How is this a joke? And why is Ferd'nand trying to farm in his back yard?

The Buckets 3/18/09

Do young children really care about Star Wars anymore? I think that's more of a phenomenon for young-adults.

I guess Star Wars is still getting exposure through the Cartoon Network show. Did you know that they played it during Adult Swim last weekend?



B.C. 3/18/09

The only joke I see in the 4 panels presented to me is that the bird's callsign is Dookie 1. Everything else is just filler to me.

Congrats for making it all the way through today's post. You win the prize of satisfaction, unless you hated everything I said. Then you are just weird, why did you read it all if you hated it?

Plagiarism, Africa, and Non-Jokes. Oh My!

Rubes 3/3/09
Why do cartoonist still try to do Farside jokes? Can't Gary Larson sue or something? I mean, come on, it doesn't get any more blatant (that means obvious in case you were wondering) than this.



Secret Asian Man 3/3/09

Right. How would an old, black lady (presumably old, I don't know) be able to tell that a white guy was her relative? Wouldn't his family have left a really long time ago?

This story line is stupid.

Graffiti 3/3/09

I don't understand which premium is meant. The insurance premium? Premium booze? I think if you get caught driving drunk, they take away your license, so insurance doesn't seem like it would be a problem.

I totally agree with saving the premium booze though.

BC 3/3/09

Could someone please tell me what the punchline is. Seriously, if anyone out there could leave a comment that would help me understand this, it would be appreciated.
