As a small boy I never understood/liked Zippy the Pinhead, but now I understand perfectly that it's the product of an aging but well-meaning hippie. It's like a comic your weird uncle draws. I love it!

It's like a comic your weird uncle draws. I love it! It's great just because Griffith, the creator, is as unable as anyone to explain why it's a syndicated comic. He was an underground comic artist that happened to be in the right place at the right time when William Randolph Hearst III decided he wanted an underground comic in his paper. The rest is nonsensical history.

I just noticed that Comics Kingdom has a new comic that just started last Monday. It's called Intelligent Life. Here's the first strip. Well, we're off to a good start here. There's no joke, the main character appears to be an unlikeable idiot and the art style seems to be copied from Family Guy, but apart from that it's great. Tuesday introduced a new character (but still no jokes). I say character, but there's no sign of any kind of personality.  He seems to be there simply to prevent the protagonist from having to talk to himself.  The cast grows again on Thursday. I'm reminded of Rudy Park. That's not a good thing.  Friday develops the characters a little. By which I mean that we finally learn the protagonist's name.  And today's strip, I think, gives us a pretty good idea of where this comic is going. Into the garbage. It's bad.

The lower eyelid and both eyebrows being placed/used randomly makes me think everyone's drunk, or at least the artist is.

Skippy's lesson for the day: Don't even begin smoking (unless you intend to finish the one you light up). (April 23, 1927) Peanuts profiles a diplomatic relationship. (July 15, 1967)  Funky Winkerbean  Was the backpack entirely necessary? Popeye  Rip Haywire  Out Our Way gives us a cowboy double feature. (April 10-11, 1925)

VoidBurger posted:Did he not notice "Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here's drnik:" or is that a Shakespeare thing This is just beautiful. You put all that work into that cartoon, Brooke, only to completely blow it by not re-checking your spelling. If I did that, I would've checked it, like, 20 teims...  Non Sequitur  It's interesting how the "sock is in limbo" problem is so perennial. I swear, I can't recall ever losing a single sock in the laundry. Heavenly Nostrils is caught up, so here are yesterday's and today's.   I guess that sort of could be called pyromania. I like "Monster Girl" better. 9 Chickweed Lane 7/12/2003  ... the gently caress? It's just BrookeSpeak©. Nothing to see here. Move along, please. Zits  Oh, I dunno, standing around in a wiener suit for 8 bucks an hour isn't too terribly bad. Unless you're outside, and it's 95F with 90% humidity. I'll bet Pierce would do it in a heartbeat. Kevin & Kell  This is somehow more unsettling than it usually is. Just the fact that predators and prey have conversations at all. BlankIsBeautiful fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Jul 12, 2014 |

Ironically, the Dilbert comic could actually be funny and insightful, if only I could believe that the artist was aware that Dilbert is being insufferable.

Remember, Friday the Thirteenth falls on a Sunday this month. Stay safe and watch out for Bad Luck Comix. Pooch Café  It's a good thing he didn't try and jump for it. That could have ended worse.  Ballard Street  Bobby goes to the bingo hall in a sports coat and hat? Isn't he overdressing a little? Last time I went to a bingo hall I saw at least four old ladies who hadn't bothered to change out of their dressing gowns.

I like how the fact there was a typo in the first place confirms that he actually bothers to type out the Romeo and Juliet dialogue instead of finding a transcript online and copypasting it. Like, you know, a sane person would. Considering how lazily done everything else is, you'd think he'd take the most obvious shortcut too.

Pogo (July 5-7, 1956)  Well, it's best to hear it from someone you know...  Bonus Peanuts (July 5-7, 1956)    Even in '56 the Saturday strip was expendable, but at least Snoopy was still trying to be a dog.
