Tiny Sepuku, in which we learn that crocodiles make for awkward conversationalists. The Grizzwells, in which we learn that porcupines are frustratingly cynical and willing to fleece the unintelligent.  Big Nate, in which we ponder which other baked goods would not make good team names.  And I have no clue what Robbie and Bobby is, but this showed up on the front page of GoComics, so I had to post it.

My eyes usually skim over Rip Kirby, but I forced myself to make the effort to read it for a week and it's quite good. Mark Trail, feat. The Clay Camel as some police dude.  Quincy  Buz Sawyer is petulant!

Since it's no longer April Fool's Day, have some Unedited Dog Comix. Pooch Café  Man, some of those dog biscuits are better than human ones. My grandparents have a dog they dote on constantly, so I got them some high-end ones for Christmas. They were coated in carob and came in a little bone-shaped tin. An hour after dinner I see my grandpa sitting in his armchair absently munching on them. I don't remember if I ever did tell him they were supposed to be for Taylor. Ballard Street  Pretty sure the tee is supposed to be further away from the green, but whatever. At least they're having fun.

Rulebook Heavily posted:The writer is also completely incapable of giving the audience a reason to emotionally connect with the comic or the characters on any level, so it's a perfect trifecta of incompetence. I guess I should finally bring this up: Zachary Nixon Johnson is actually based on a series of novels. I read one of them (The Doomsday Brunette) after a friend gave me a copy as a joke. It was actually very enjoyable, if you go in assuming it was written as some sort of self-insert fiction by a high schooler (oh yes, I'm the last detective in space; oh yes, I have super science bracelets that make me stronger than all robots; oh yes, genetically engineered supermodels keep knocking me unconscious and then I wake up naked in their beds). The idea that the author is actually in his fifties, and he's now paying someone to illustrate the whole thing, just makes it very sad. Also: Midnight Moth posted:
"Dispairing?" The character Fistula Breech refuses to acknowledge the existence of couples and is determined to treat every person as an individual. It is because of travel expenses.

Sorry for the delay folks, Cul-de-sac and the Creeps will be posted tonight, but I wanted to weigh in on the whole 'dese comix is boring' Well, yeah, some of them are. Some of them are down-right lovely, but when you compare them to the awfulness of webcomics, then yeah, they're fairly tame in their badness. After reading Dominic Deegan and Goblins and moon over june and any myriad of other horrid horrid comics, Oh Baby doesn't seem so bad. Don't get me wrong, it's still terrible, but it's not anything but ugly and dumb, not aggressively so. Don Jamie, keep posting that dumb ugly bullshit, in fact, I'd like to see you post not only those, but Thatababy as well, and maybe something even MORE horrible.  remember folks,

Esplanade posted:That would be my guess as well. I don't know when this particular strip came out, but there was a whole storyline around Woodstock's first arrival: That's a good theory until you find what they did to what the wiki claims is Woodstock's unnamed first appearance.   And why would they jump to a conclusion like that? Well...

Digging around on the Creators syndicate website, I found that they publish the old Winnie the Pooh strip. A few samples were posted in a Comic Strip Megathread of days past and it really grabbed me. The most information I can find out about it is "Writer Don Ferguson and artist Richard Moore did a syndicated Winnie the Pooh comic strip that ran from 1978 to 1988." Mr Beeg might know more, but that's probably all you need to know about a syndicated strip of a licensed property. The art is clean and nice.   There's some good visual humor.  And the characters are all assholes.   I hope you'll welcome this addition .

Piranha Club  Dick Tracy   We have another real-life cameo happening with fellow cartoonist Scott Shaw. Judge Parker   9 Chickweed Lane   More proof that this strip has never been responsible for a high-five from anybody. Pibgorn  The only thing I can make out in today's strip is that both Pibgorn and that desk are in for their 3000-mile oil changes.

Oh Baby lasted four years, and never got past the cervix. I thought it was an anti-abortion statement, but once you read a few, it's hard to tell. Aren't all the words new? You know, to a baby?  Would a baby have beliefs? Do they believe in things?  This is flat puzzling. The mom saw a sign, that was about the oh baby, that she had never seen before. I think. Let's do a Geech. Put on a different hat.
