Comment of the Week

Maybe it's just that the standards of menace have been so raised by the likes of Calvin and Hobbes or Bart Simpson but I can't remember ever seeing Dennis engage in behavior that would make him a poor children's party guest. He wears a tiny suit to church for goodness sake! He's really just a menace because the strip is called Dennis the Menace but who told the inhabitants of the strip that? Who is going around badmouthing this precocious kid who at worst doesn't always live up to 1950s standards of etiquette? I ask but we all already know it's Mr. Wilson, Mr. Wilson is making the neighbor kid a social pariah out of a sort of misplaced dissatisfaction and inadequacy that his pension wasn't enough to settle him in a gated community with no children.

As usual on my watch, there’s no COTW this week — Schroduck gets another week up there. But I want to make sure to thank our fine Comics Curmudgeon advertisers:

  • Bluebeards Original is proud to join The Comics Curmudgeon as an advertiser! Company owner Paul Kaniewski is a longtime follower of this site, to the point that it inspired him to created the famed Aldo Kelrast MySpace profile.

  • And if you haven’t bought Josh’s novel yet, you should! You can get it in hardback, paperback, or ebook forms … it’s called The Enthusiast, it’s about trains, comics, stealth marketing, capitalism, and joy — and it’s excellent!

Ted: “I’m sorry.”
Sally: “Now you go.”
Ted: [Legitimate criticism]

Joey is right to be concerned … he’s the one in the bullseye T-shirt.

“Ida Know” says Jeffy, swigging PBR from his juice box. “Not me,” thinks Barfy, the only one with a remotely plausible beard. “Look at me acting all baby and stuff,” beams PJ ironically in his flannel onesie.

While we were off watching Judge Parker, the Forths dramatically upgraded their foreplay.

Sure, the Chubbs can be bought — but they won’t stay bought.

“Oops — sorry, Spider-Man!”
