Dennis the Menace, 12/6/11

Dennis is bad at eating, inevitably ending up covered with half-masticated food, misaimed condiments, and slobber.

Mary Worth, 12/6/11

Mary has now completely forgotten about the missing Emily Smith, and has ironically become fixated on the idea that she might be losing her memory instead.

Six Chix, 12/6/11

Due to her family’s poverty, this little girl isn’t going to college, and indeed will probably die of malnutrition long before she has a chance to graduate from high school.

Pluggers, 12/6/11

Pluggers like to swing with other couples from their church.

Luann, 11/26/11

Ha ha, you guys, aren’t Brad and Toni the best? I’m sure seeing Toni talk vaguely about marrying Brad won’t make you puke your guts out at all. Anyway, egged on by TJ, she’s come to announce that either the fire department will hire Brad back or she’ll quit, which, since Brad also quit his job, means that their married life together will start off great, in poverty. But don’t worry! She’s about to describe the awesome majesty of their love to her boss, which will magically increase the department’s budget enough to pay them both.

Family Circus and Dennis the Menace, 11/26/11

I have to admit that I kind of love both of these panels, mostly because they appear to contain precisely zero jokes between them. Dennis has been tricked into doing yard work with the promise of fun, and he resents it; Jeffy is too stupid to operate a sink. That’s all there is! And maybe I’m in an unnaturally good mood, even after reading Luann, but that’s enough for me today.

Rex Morgan, M.D., 10/30/11

Wow, never has Rex’s contempt for women been made more explicit. “See, Niki, women have tiny little fish-brains, and all they understand is wealth, status, looks, and power … all qualities I posses, fortunately. But then they want to ‘laugh’ or ‘feel loved’ and want you to ‘not be a surly dick constantly,’ which is bullshit. That’s why we’re out here on the boat, while the ladies are on the shore! Say, any more guys your age at that party you got the text about?”

Dennis the Menace, 10/30/11

In any sane world, the comic where Dennis learns that being nice gets you further in life than being menacing would be the last Dennis the Menace comic ever made.
