I don't comment on F Minus much when I post it, but that's just because there's not much to say about each one since it's a one-panel gag strip. It is consistently one of the more entertaining comics for me though. It has it's slow periods but it's still good for a chuckle more often than not, and what more can you ask for from a daily comic strip? It's really probably my favorite strip if you were to ask me to rank them.

Speaking of which:

F Minus

See? I find this funny. That's about all I can say about it without ruining the joke.

Skipping MW since that was posted already.

I know the art long ago stopped matching up to what was going on, but the portrayal of "at the hospital" made me chuckle. Two buildings (or at least walls), a bit of fence, and.... yup. Looks like a hospital to me.

I personally like the fact that, despite the fact that she is sick and in the hospital, Margo has not once been depicted as anything other than standing up, seemingly healthy, in normal clothing, as if she has never been sick at all.

Maybe the shareholders already know that she used to be Sarah Morgan's nanny. That's just one, terrifyingly thin degree of separation from the demon-child herself, so who would dare to offend her?

Frankly, it's surprising that she's even having to do this much to get all of these people to roll over and hand the company to her. No one here would've blinked if the entire plot had been resolved within two panels of Rex and June's breakfast conversation ("Did you hear that Heather Avery took over the company?" "She'll do well with it. How did you find out?" "She gave us one of their company jets to thank us!").

Thanks for posting them. Probably the best thing to ever come out of AZ.

The strip I called out as being awesome seems like a tip of the cap to Nightmare Before Christmas. Did someone mention this? I thought those 3 looked familiar.

I rarely comment about F-Minus because it is the lot of consistently good comments that they often don't get much commetary, but I agree with this sentiment.

My usual source for these has dried up, so all I can offer you is this small token. But holy poo poo that dude is strong. Ankles, knees, hips, back, they'd all have to work supernaturally hard against gravity for somebody to do that, and the dog isn't even looking.

Okay, to be fair as someone who worked retail for years I have an unhealthy HATE of Christmas songs. "Six times a day every day for two months" isn't too far from the truth, because when you get right down to it there really aren't that many Christmas songs.

Also gently caress that Christmas Shoes song.

To be fair, "I have this irrational dislike for something about you, but I know it's not your fault and it's dumb" is, I think, something we've probably all felt. I can put myself in her position; it's more a warning that she might be irritated and not to worry about it than an invitation for discussion.

I know someone who worked in a toy shop for a few years. Their mandated Christmas song loop was only 8 songs long.
