Comment of the Week

Is Dr. Jeff's 'again’ meant to indicate that he's already (willfully?) forgotten what Mary's told him, or does it display his belief that Wilbur's life is a karmic circle of disasters that are superficially varied but basically the same thing happening to him over and over?

During a recent visit to a D.C.-area old folks’ home, I found an abandoned Style section from the Washington Post in the billiards room. In addition to the traditional “What’s In-What’s Out” New Year’s feature (and half of the “in” items I’ve never heard of, including “The Maybach”, “Move that bus!”, and “Annasophia Robb”, thus proving conclusively that I am not “in”), it also included the following cartoon, which sort of does my job for me. I figured I’d reproduce it here to tide you over since I’m being such a slacker about posting stuff this week.

I should have new comics up by this evening, but I make no promises. If you’re getting desperate for comics-derived larfs, I urge you to check out these poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines.

Update: Also funny: Subdivided We Stand’s recap of the last few weeks of Mary Worth.

Zits, 1/2/05

In keeping with my quest to say nice things about the Sun’s new comics in their first appearance in this forum, I present to you my favorite comics sound effect of 2005 so far. Behold, GXXXKK!! Zits is not held back by the tyranny of vowels.

I also like the way that Papa Zits (or whatever his name is) is extending an index finger towards the tree-shredder. Is he giving it a gentle push into the maw of the machine? Or is he just pointing and saying, “Ha! It said GXXXKK!!
