Also, I feel compelled to point out that the additional letters are t-u-r-d, in that order.  Coincidence?  I think not.</description>

		<description>GA:  That was it.  One day of not showing Hillbilly Hooters and you can stick a fork in it, the plot is done.

See, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chron.com/apps/comics/showComick.mpl?date=20090714&amp;name=Hagar_The_Horrible&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hagar the Hilarious&lt;/a&gt; is awesome today because he did something for his &lt;i&gt;memory&lt;/i&gt;, but he doesn&#039;t &lt;i&gt;remember&lt;/i&gt; some aspect of it!  See how he used the subject to negate itself!  What is humor if not that?  I am electified by the by-the-book, overdone, formulaic humor that it theoretically possesses.  

Well, at least Lucky Eddie didn&#039;t shove his hand up Hagar&#039;s ass.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chron.com/apps/comics/showComick.mpl?date=20090714&amp;name=Marvin&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Marvin:&lt;/a&gt; and for threadbare humor, we have the wife thinking that the husband secretly watched as an attractive lady sauntered by.  Meanwhile Marvin is free to gawk at her thonged ass.

It reminds me of an actually funny comic from Playboy about 20 years ago.  A kid says to a lady wearing a thong &quot;Hey, your crack is eating your bathing suit!&quot; 

No one has pointed out that the third panel of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chron.com/apps/comics/showComic.mpl?date=2009/7/14&amp;name=Herb_n_Jamaal&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Herb &amp; Jamaal has that staticy word balloon, indicating that it is the guy on the phone who says he is getting his wallet.  That would have been really great for Herb, but then he put down the phone and continued drinking beer until catatonia set in.

&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chron.com/apps/comics/showComic.mpl?date=2009/7/14&amp;name=Dick_Tracy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;(What th&#039;) Dick Tracy:&lt;/a&gt;  I don&#039;t get his &quot;We lost no Jack to the Ace.&quot; comment.  There was a guy named Jack, and now he&#039;s dead.  So, he&#039;s &quot;lost&quot;.  True, he was killed by an equally bizarre playing card character instead of Ace.  Maybe Locher heard another playing card term and worked hard to awkwardly force it in before the plot line ended.</description>
