It’s funny because she’s ugly

Curtis, 5/5/06

Though Curtis-bashing is often the order of the day around here, I’ve come to have admiration for the strip’s art, which is generally funnier than the ostensible humor content. It’s busy and kind of old school and I like it. Today my heart was won over by Gunther’s niece Rose Petal (oddly referred to as “Niece Rose Petal”, though at least not as “Niece ‘Rose Petal’”) who appears to be Gunther in drag. And not very convincing drag. The weird boobs, the impossible butt, the buck teeth — good times, good times.

Meanwhile, in Judge Parker, somebody’s a little concerned about Sophie the homework outsourcer:

We now know that Sam and Abbey’s palatial estate is in Florida … because that’s clearly none other than erstwhile Sunshine State election honcho, current Congressperson, and future failed Senate candidate Katherine Harris!

I see the resemblance, but if they’re in Florida, why is there apparently snow on those bushes? Oh, wait–snow on the bushes doesn’t make sense ALMOST ANYWHERE this strip could be set.

Josh, you’ve been hanging around those Wonkette guys way too much; too much to give us such a lame Katherine Harris photo. Come on, man, give us the pneumatic breasts and skin-tight jeans of one of her horse-back portraits. A little more background on JP; Abbey is wealthy and took in the two girls when they were left penniless orphans. (This was before she married Sam, who was young lawyer good salary upper middle class, but not rich.) Then it was discovered that the girls had been separated from their honest-to-God rich old Yankee money family because Grandmama did not approve of their Dad’s taste in a wife. Both of the girls are actually richer than Abbey. Dear God, why do I know this?

I actually had a nightmare a few days ago where I think I met Catherine Harris. She was on a horse, and she tried to convince me to buy “hose futures.” But then she reached out to touch me, and her arms and fingers became grotesquely long and yellow so I ran. It was a really long, sort of epic kind of dream that you have when you go to bed too late and wake up at 12:30 the next morning.

Am I correct in thinking that the sign in panel two says “Greasy hair must be washed”? What a classy establishment.

24# – Yes, was thinking the same thing myself. Perhaps that explains the spittle and buck teeth, as if I recall correctly, the coneheads had multiple rows of teeth with which I assume they could make spittle, and force the front ones outwards…

And L’l Sophie clearly has someone in Delhi writing her papers for her. I smell big moral lesson here, although the point will be unclear to the average reader. Sam just lives to make those poor girls’ lives miserable by harshing their buzz at every opportunity.

Like he didn’t have to have that same guy in Delhi pass the bar exam for him.

She’s waiting for Jason to get out of the bathroom in the morning, while Jason has locked the door, climbed out the window and down the tree and is having breakfast. In the last panel, of Jason and Peter at the table, there’s an offstage balloon that says “Jason, open this #$%&ing door!”

Mother Goose & Grimm tackles the comic-strip cursing controversy.

…but, incredibly, it’s Monty that saves the day. I say “incredibly,” because it made me laugh and Monty hasn’t done that since Robotman got left behind. (Okay, that’s not true. Fleshy and that on-and-off talking monkey make me giggle occasionally. Spider-Man fans who haven’t been reading Monty will want to jump back a few strips to see the amazing origin story.)

http://www.comics.com/comics/monty/archive/monty-20060506.html

And how can I write a post without mentioning Luann?

*sigh*

You see how Evans works?
1. The set-up: Brad gains an almost scary confidence by dumping Toni.
2. The take-down: Luann takes over Toni’s spirit-breaking duties, hovering over him like Poe’s raven and whispering into his ear that he’s a looooooser.
3. The aftermath: His newfound confidence destroyed, Brad runs to Mommy for reassurance that she cannot give him.

At least Mom is being honest (and bless her, she saw through Toni from the start). It’s better than Dad’s “women are flawless goddesses, men are wet green turds” pep talk from a few weeks back. Get over it, Brad; you won’t look like Tom Cruise without a brain transplant–and besides, who wants to look like America’s Sexiest Nutjob? You look like…well…you look like Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump. Could be worse. I guess.

Josh, if you’re gonna use a picture of Katherine “I Stole An Election For The Bush Family And Now They Won’t Return My Calls” Harris, use something a little less generic. There are pics of her trying to thrust her breasts at her interviewer, or playing footsie with a guy one-third her age. Those are comedy gold. Where are her winged monkeys, anyway?

And although Blondie and Lisa have…oh, how can I put this delicately…identical attributes (what, does the artist have a boob template?), Blondie in a tight black V-neck and blue jeans made me think impure thoughts I haven’t had about her since I saw them Tijuana Bible Comics as a teenager.

Lynn Johnston is clearly setting Liz up for a grand-finale Liz-and-Anthony marriage. I find this appalling! And then I get a grip: they’re cartoon characters. This is somebody else’s fantasy about what’s likely and what’s romantic. (Barf! Barf! Barf!) We all know perfectly well that in real life, Liz would stay up north for good, marry a non-loser of whatever persuasion (or stay single — for crying out loud, the whole world doesn’t have to pair off like MW’s stupid swans!), tsk tsk over Anthony a little (but stay out of dark bars with him), and just generally go on with her life WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WEIRD-ASS PRIMEVAL URGE TO LIVE TWO BLOCKS FROM HER MOTHER, sheesh!

Mallard today finishes up the way he always finishes up when he’s doing his week-long Wrasslin’ the Librul Straw Man series: with a fabricated, specious “letter” that, of course, couldn’t have been written in time to work with the timelines of comic strip production. This time, though, he actually accuses his accuser of “wanting to live in 1958.” Um, Tinsley? EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR WORLDVIEW RELIES ON WANTING TO GO BACK TO SOME ROSY, NEVER-EXISTENT VISION OF THE EISENHOWER ERA. Or possibly the Harding one.

Also, how long has he been piling on schools with his claptrap now? Three weeks? Four?

Fortunately, in a couple more weeks we can now look forward to at least five consecutive strips mocking Pat Kennedy (and likely his dad) for his addiction to Ambien. I cannot WAIT.

A3G – Tommie is uncomfortable with all the tension in the air? Excuse me? She lives with Margo and Lu Ann! Tension must be mother’s milk to her. There’s nothing Lucy the Haridan can dish out that should upset Tommie.

FOOB – Hurry up and hitch her to Anthony already. Sheesh…

GF – “Brainishness” That’s pure gold. Did anyone else think the late Bob Ross was enjoying this Wednesday’s Get Fuzzy from the same cloud that the scary FC grandfather perches on?

GA – I am extremely disappointed in the fact that Joel and Rufus got Skeezix’ car home in under a week with little or no of their usual near-disasterous ‘adventures’. These two normally make Laurel & Hardy and the Stooges look like neurosurgeons. Tell them to water the houseplants and you’ll get a jury-rigged dam across the nearest creek, several miles of trenching, stolen fire hoses, and a house which now sports an indoor pool. Sadly, this time they merely bashed in the roof of the car so it could fit through a covered bridge. Somehow, that is very disappointing.

(DT)GT – The much anticipated “Gil Coach Thorp” vs. “Ma Dorito Farts Raptor” Cage Match coming up! Woo-hoo!

Popeye – Shades of Bacchus! What has Olive wrought? Even Wimpy is showing interest in the newly perfume doused, female trolls of Dunder. How can he support a wife on what he brings in by mooching hamburgers until Tuesday?

Luann – Brad’s getting dating advice from his Mom. Aww… He should get it from Dad seeing has Dad sports the same pineapple-shaped head Brad does and still managed to land Mom. Why is it again that Brad, an adult making a fireman’s salary, is stil living at home with his parents? Has that ever been explained? Should it be explained?

RMMD – Was he googling “Troy Gainer” or googling “Troy Gainer Porn”? And it looks as if the “Widdle Sarah” mystery illness was detour in the narrative that allowed 1) Wilson and Nolan to mail it in for a few days and B) remind us that Rex and June are supposedly parents. Meanwhile a small piece of the plot was revealed yesterday during the pistol whipping scene in Harry I’m not Vincent Price, really Ellis’ swanky hotel room. Did anyone else catch the ’slip’ regarding ‘do no harm’? Ol’ Doc McCheesey bent his Oath sometime in the past with Harry watching.

Monty – Ladybug Man. Priceless.

SF – Extreme Makeover – Sally Edition continues as the strip’s owners allow their sharecropper to plant different seeds he (and the rest of us) finds interesting. Soon the Forth Bunker will open for tours by the neighbors. Sally will be happy to learn that the neighbors aren’t thieves or meth addicts and the neighbors will be happy to learn that Sally isn’t stockpiling ammunition or printing copies of The Turner Diaries on a mimeograph machine in the basement. Still, seeing this new lighter side of Sally is vaguely disquieting. It’s like learning for the first time that Hitler liked dogs and doted over those he owned.

#39 – Mallard Fillmore’s idea of the good old days is not Eisenhower or even Harding; I’d say Rutherford B. Hayes, another corrupt Republican who stole his election.

#52, FOOB – Here’s my idea for a story arc: Liz comes home for a visit, Anthony drools all over her, but she realizes her true place is back up north. After she leaves, Anthony goes nutso, quits his job, stows away on the weekly cargo plane to Mtigwaki, and starts skulking around town. After several weeks of continuity with Liz wondering if someone is following her, Anthony breaks into her house, boils her cat, ties Liz to a chair, and is gently fondling a steak knife… when the cop boyfriend breaks down the door and saves his little Coffee Cake. Liz is grateful, but the trauma brings forth a life-changing realization: she’s a lesbian. That’s why no man has been able to satisfy her. She marries Candace. Curtain.

Jack Chick subsidizes his hell-wrought vision comic books with the money he gets for Mallard Fillmore. All he has to do is keep the two separate enough to not raise suspicion. Sometimes he slips up, though. Like that one time Mallard Filmore condemned his editor to hell for being Catholic.

I take back all my complaints about FC. Anyone else notice they were at “Blessem Mall” today? It’s that kind of attention to detail that makes this such a great strip (maybe the monkey who drew the white-background strip last week was off today).
