I don't remember the episode of Doctor Who where Modesty and Willie show up to save him from some thugs.

That was pretty good, Wiley.

Yesterday's Heavenly Nostrils. Dana's off a day again.

True, dat.

That's a pretty snazzy getup for a Catholic school uniform.

Ok, that was not too weird, and sort of funny, I guess. Decent job, Holbrook.

I'm not certain, but I think Rocky Ledge might own a building in his industrial park. We should spend another week going over this just to be sure.

Just another strip from the funny page's biggest choke artist.

This must be the 'Bad touch! Bad touch!' section of the play.

Intelligent Life

Another chapter in the never-ending war between JOCKS and GEEKS. A war primarily fought through smugbrows.

I looked it up, and this is apparently legit! Male squirrels are also called bucks, and females are does. :eng101:

I'm pretty sure it's being generated by one of those comic-strip maker programmes as an experiment into whether computers can tell jokes.

Gary Hart, former presidential hopeful, dropped out of the '88 race when photos suggesting an extra-marital affair were published, following his response to rumors of such with "Follow me around. I don't care. I'm serious. If anybody wants to put a tail on me, go ahead. They'll be very bored."

INTELLIGENT LIFE is a comic strip that revolves around a set of characters who very much exist in this world of geek/pop culture, and it gives us a good laugh as we nod knowingly at their antics.

The strip follows the personal life, the work life, the hobbies and obsessions of Skip, Gwen, Mike and Barry, and glimpses the mania of our world.

If any of this sounds familiar, don�t be surprised � this is the modern world we all share. INTELLIGENT LIFE celebrates the geek in all of us.

This guy has learned from the best:

quote:

David Reddick (born April 14, 1971 in Anderson, Indiana) is an American artist, illustrator and cartoonist. He is the creator of various popular comic strips such as "Legend of Bill," The Trek Life at CBS/ STARTREK.COM, Gene's Journal and Rod & Barry at Roddenberry.com, and he is a full-time cartoonist at Paws, Inc., where he works on the Garfield worldwide property.

You know who else works for paws inc? The guy who draws Diamond Lil!

Don't worry, here's some Cul-de-sac which is not the worst thing in the world, quite the opposite in-fact.

by the way, this was saturday's:

'Intelligent Life' is the office-setting equivalent of 'Girls and Sports'.

Probably Magic: Oct 9, 2012; Looking cute, feeling cute.

So far, all Intelligent Life has talked about is guys wanting girls and nerds and jocks having differences, at what point do we get "glimpses of the mania of our world?"

That's because Intelligent Life wants you to identify with the lead character, as depressing a thought as that is.

Things that are geeks by Skip's criteria:

Your grandpa
most churches
literally anyone between the ages of 8 and 16
Any child old enough to comprehend how to play a game on a smart phone

Heh, looks like Skip really stuck it to those jocks with their ipads taking selfies and dating women! :smuggo:

Well, at least they didn't play the wheezy old trope where the mousy dude gets all the respect once he starts using his fists. I'm really lovin' Buzz Sawyer.

Peanuts gives us the long, dark night of the soul in twelve panels. (July 23, 1967)

Funky Winkerbean desperately wants a ball pit in that last panel. And a bouncy castle.

Classic Popeye Sunday: Our Hero believes the best education is through experience. (c. 1942-ish)

Pogo, in which the usual gang decides the best solution to their current problem is avoidance. (July 13, 1969)

First-Gen Blondie (c. 1942)

Out Our Way (April 29-30, 1925)

Oh Jeez, that poor thing's neck is still up...
