“I can bring home the bacon;
“Fry it up in a pan —
“And never, never, never let you forget
“You’re a total idiot.”

This plot could go either way: “Ghost-Who-Cleans-up-Neighborhoods” or “Ghost-Who-Defends-Intellectual-Property.” But if I were little Tendai, I’d lay off the illegal downloads for a while. Just sayin’.

Mark Trail, 9/8/07

Here we have almost the entire Mark Trail gradient of good and evil: bald good-hearted Homer Moore, balding conflicted Mr. Thomas, shady sideburned Tom. NEXT: Tom hires ZZ Top and a gang of Hasidic rebbes to beat sense into Homer.

Signs of the End Times: Nobody in this picture is maimed or dying. Everybody’s smiling.

Thanks to everybody who hit the Tip Jar or sent Josh a check this week, and for everybody’s patience with a week-long fundraiser. Judging by my mail and the comments, it looks like it was a big success; I know Josh will be thanking contributors individually once he’s back Sunday evening.

On this final day of the Comics Curmudgeon Garage Sale, I have three important announcements –

One – From his vacation paradise at scenic Secret Location, Josh extends a hearty “thank you” for all the generous contributions he’s received during the past week. Josh says, “You folks are great!”

Two – Today only, the Garage Sale is featuring a two for one closeout promotion. That’s right! For every contribution received on Friday, September 7, Josh promises to be twice as grateful! Even if you’ve already made a generous contribution, you won’t want to pass up this chance! Thank you thank you!

Three – Is there a post you really don’t want to see? I bet there is! In response to popular demand, The Comics Curmudgeon is now accepting sponsored post suppression! It’s easy!

a) choose a post from the list below
b) make a generous contribution at the Tip Jar, then email uncle.lumpy&#64yahoo.co&#109 and tell me which one to suppress. I’ll make sure it never sees the light of day!

Choose from these great posts you don’t have to see — for a price!

1) Mr. Tweedy and Hazel — one-panel workstyles from the fifties!
2) Adventure themes in Out Our Way
3) Chennux Returns!
4) Milton Caniff — the Terry and the Pirates years (a 4-part series)
5) Linguistic Themes in Our Boarding House — FAP!! KAFF!!
6) The Yellow Kid vs. The Katzenjammer Kids — Battle of the Kids!
7) All Family Circus, ALL THE TIME!

Give now! Give generously! Thank you thank you!

Hahahahahahahaha. Oh, Eric, Eric, Eric, this is not wise. Just remember, you yellow-shirted morsel: you are no Dr. Drew Corey M.D. and Margo, sir, is no Dawn Weston.

Family Circus, 9/7/07

I don’t know which is more disturbing here: a creative process that begins with drawing the circle because that’s the hard part, or the family dynamics of Jeffy drawing his brother ridiculing his father.

Hee. Worst Grandma ever!

Happy Friday, everybody!
