Comics Galore

My theory is that it's actually a growth - a literal "tail," if you will - that protrudes out of the back of her head. How else could we describe why a 30-year-old career woman (yes, named Vera) wears a ponytail every day?

I think Dawn would actually be okay if she didn't wear ugly t-shirts all the time - even with her LEGO(r) block hair.

I just wanted to share the amusement and time-waster that is the Garfield Randomizer:

That's so brilliant. And it confirms all of the rumors I've ever heard about Garfield and Jim Davis.

[ahem.]

This sounds like you're implying that they're a couple. I can only imagine the logistical difficulties in dating one's own cartoon character.

[Wisteria]

Ha! That sounds like some really bizarre take on Pygmalion.

[ahem.]

Since I am so bored, I'm going to go through and revive all of the old threads we haven't seen in a while.

So, has anybody read any new comic strips of interest?

Wondermark ( wondermark.com ) can be funny (although sometimes vulgar and/or weird). Here are some I liked:

The middle panel in today's strip (12/21) is priceless.

[ahem.]

Which # comic is that? (They don't have dates, do they?)

Ooops, sorry, I thought you were talking about the Wondermark comic.

Wow . . . Dragon Lady . . . I didn't know you were really Margo from Apartment 3G. What a revelation!

So, I totally called Elmer and Branden running off to get married. But, I don't think they'll go through with it. Which is a shame, because it would make their "platonic" relationship even more muddy.

The question is, who will stop the wedding? Elmer? Mrs. Thorpe? Mary Worth (whose meddling could conceivably cross comic boundaries)?

Ah, Mary Worth. I've recently gained 'appreciation' for that comic, when I used to just pass over it on the comics page.

Ah . . . high school. Brought back memories both of mind-numbing drivers' ed class, and the awkward AP Bio day on human reproduction. Wouldn't have been so bad, except for the discussion after . . .
