Mary Worth, 7/12/05

The Comics Curmudgeon (TCC) and the Future Mrs. Curmudgeon (TFMC) are taking a walk. TCC is describing today’s Mary Worth to his intended.

TCC: … and you see all these vibration lines coming off of Rita in all directions. She’s got the shakes, man! She’s definitely going to drop those damn swans. And when she does, she’ll realize what a pathetic loser she is, and then…

TFMC: She’ll slit her wrists with one of the shards?

TCC: Wow. I was going to say that she was going to check herself into the Betty Ford Clinic, but that’s … much better.

TFMC: Don’t you think “shard” is a good word?

Ain’t I lucky, folks? Not only is she willing to talk about Mary Worth on our walks, but she’s always willing to push the envelope of good taste, which is what this blog needs. Here’s to true love!

Speaking of love, I don’t love the fact that I have to go in for potential jury tomorrow (especially seeing as it’s supposed to be 87 degrees and humid and shorts are considered “inappropriate attire” for the courtroom). Hopefully my unkempt appearance and/or cranky political views will keep me from holding some poor sap’s life in my hands, but if I do have to serve, postings may be a wee bit spotty for a bit. I shall keep you all posted, since I know you all care, desperately.

One year ago today, I made my first foray into reading the comics so you don’t have to, though I built up a week or so of material before I actually sent out links to anyone else urging them to read it. Since then, I’ve been more and more amazed at the number of people who share my love-hate (but mostly love, honest) relationship with the comics, and who moreover enjoy my writing and each others’ company enough to come visit on a regular basis. I think it’s strangely appropriate that I began the day dealing with technical problems and ended it with some cheap beastiality humor. Here’s to many more!

Marmaduke, 7/11/05

OK, Marmaduke, you think you can just keep throwing this sick woman-on-dog stuff at me and I’ll eventually give up on talking about it, don’t you? Well, I’m not gonna blink first. As long as you can keep slipping the “doggie-style” action past your editors, your perversions will be displayed here for all to regard with mingled horror and fascination.

Seriously, do you think this is proof that even the folks at United Features Syndicate have stopped reading Marmaduke? Sheesh.
