I can't really summon too much hate for Tinkersons. It's just one of dozens of the same bland, zero-effort, family slice-of-life strips that infest comics sections today, like Stone Soup or Grand Avenue.

Not to say that it's good, it's just not outwardly cancerous like Intelligent Life or Piranah Club. It's like the comics equivalent of a skin tag. It's the concept of "apathy" manifested into comic form.

I have to say I hate the tinkersons far more than even intelligent life.

I hate this woman's stupid loving god drat smirk. I hate it so much. I hate it more than her complete absence of legs in the first panel. And the idiot dad's lack of legs in the second panel. I have edited this post four times because I keep noticing poo poo in this god forsaken trash comic.

I have no idea what you mean, Double Amputee Hover Family (or "The Smirksons" as we fans call it) has always been my favorite comic strip!

The Tinkersons are just dull. Usually I can only get worked up over something ambitiously stupid. That's why I still miss the storyline-mode version of Minimum Security.

I'm just amazed that every single day it presents the format of a four-panel joke but completely fails to write any actual jokes. I don't mean that the jokes are unfunny, I mean that if you aren't primed to read the strip as a gag strip, you would never recognize the dialogue as humor.

Yes, they did. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's part of the reason she wanted to go to camp, though I'm not going back to check. I suspect the breakup had the traditional "let's stay friends" clause, though, and he's young enough not to realize this means exactly jack poo poo in a long distance relationship.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




Am I crazy, or is Dave's Delicatessen the inspiration for Bob's Burgers? At first I thought it was just a coincidence and I was reading too much into the similar name and character design, but every single strip seems like it could be a joke in the show. They even had an episode where somebody involved in organized crime befriended Bob and started intimidating all his customers while Bob was too scared to ask him to stop.

Anyway, have a huge wall of Catch-up Comix.

I like how Uncle Jim's been taking money to help fix games for years and Midge fought Jess Whitecap with everything he had (including actually getting beat up in an alley) and only reluctantly gave in tonight, after going to his trusted mentor for help and Uncle Jim literally told him to go ahead and cheat, and this is how Jim describes it. "Yep, Midge and I are a couple of crooks! Totally alike in our crapulence! Neither one of us more of a shithead than the other, especially me!"
