Greetings, browsers of the Internet (there we go, that's a good intro). It has come to my attention that there is another website with the name "The Comics Curmudgeon" by a man whose screen name is "Josh Reads". He is listed before me on Google, he has a bigger and better site, and he is around 50 times more famous than I. Here is the link to his site: http://joshreads.com/. One could assume that this is a parody of his site. It is not. It was a mere coincidence that our sites have the same name. I respect him and do not wish to parody him. On that note, I give you, the comics.
Baldo: He doesn't want to do work. Better than last week, but still absurdly unfunny.
Beetle Baily: Beetle avoids work like Baldo. Did these cartoonists plan this? Or is it a stupid coincidence like the blog mine was accidentally named after? Probably the latter.
Blondie: Bumpstead is a hypocrite. Keep them coming, Mr. Young and Mr. Marshall. That is, if you wish to override the funnies with these terrible gags.
Bound and Gagged: I repeat: What? Just, what?
Classic Peanuts: No one listens to Charlie Brown. Ha, ha, ha.
Close to Home: Uuuggghhh.
Crankshaft: Crankshaft is counter productive. I am positively dying of laughter.
Dennis the Menace: In an act of copyright infringement (watching "Loony Toons" on TV) Dennis is caught not brushing his teeth because he dropped his toothbrush into the toilet. The joke is that he dropped his father's toothbrush into the toilet the night before. This is not funny, Mr. Ketcham. Dennis being a klutz is simply not funny.
Family Circus: PJ wants to play. Billy cannot understand him. Please, Mr. Keane, stop the madness.
For Better or for worse: Michael gives flowers to an old woman. Same to you, Ms. Johnston. Stop the freaking madness.
Fred Basset: Fred digs something up. He doesn't know what it is. He asks readers. Excuse me, I am currently dying of the fact that I have yet to read a strip that is funny.
Jump Start: The man fears his boss. Lukas fears the funnies.
Luann: She doesn't listen to her parents. Wow. I am laughing myself out of this mortal plane.
Marmaduke: The mutt can run. Once again, I am dying of the fact that I have yet to read a strip that is funny.
Mutts: Mooch cannot pounce. Excuse me while I sit in a dark corner of my closet, crying quietly.
One Big Happy: A hoarder turns to scrap booking. I am so touched.
Pearls Before Swine: A shining beacon that stands through the funnies. Some days, I say it's funny. On a day where evereything else sucks, I say, God bless Stephan Pastis.
Pluggers: The pluggers cannot work an old fashioned camera. Give that cartoonist a boot off of the funnies!
Rose is Rose: Pasquale is afraid of haircuts. Of all things, haircuts. Gangs? Pasquale is fine with them. Serial killers? Pasquale waves them away with a smile. Haircuts? Pasquale runs like heck and burrows himself in a dark corner.
Sally Forth: So much dialogue, I admit I zoned out. All I can tell you, Sally wouldn't shut up on the phone.
Tundra: Hallelujah! More than one strip is funny today!
And with that, I conclude. I'll see you next Sunday, where some will be loved, some will be hated, and some
will go without mention.
