Tinkersons does deadpan humor really well.


That's what happens when the artist can't draw expressions.

Prediction: These guys are going to be relatively normal, with girlfriends and normal habits but just happen to play D&D. Dustin will be the 'odd guy out' and this will be used by Skelley as another reason why Dustin is supposedly a pathetic loser.

Yes, it will show how lazy stereotypes are bad with no sense of irony.

This isn't a joke. This isn't even structured like a joke. This is just a guy being an rear end in a top hat.

Zelda is super weird to look at. I don't know how such a talented artist produces something so visually boring.

The Family Circus

I cannot imagine any circumstances in which I would have been permitted to bring a skateboard on a plane.

That's because Family Circus is made by and for people who haven't been on a plane since 1987. And who think kids wear vests.

That's okay, Holly, all that time we burned licking old wounds would've only been spent catching up with people we grew up with who actually escaped. No big loss.


As if anyone who actually escaped Shitburg, Ohio would ever come back willingly.

I guess if she was one of the Good characters like Luann or Bernice she would demonstrate her worthiness of empathy and compassion by lugging all that poo poo around with a broken arm.

Is anyone working on the new thread? I'd be willing to put something together this week if there's nothing else in the works already.

Hey all, I'm working on the OP for next year, but I'll acknowledge I'm not an expert in everything posted in this thread. My blind spots are mainly with foreign comics (i.e. Scandinavian and Japanese) and the older 20's and 30's era selections.

If anyone who posts these comics or reads them enough to be familiar would be willing to shoot me a PM with a one or two-sentence summary of what they're about, I'd be happy to integrate into the OP to give an adequate introduction to new readers.
