Man This Wasn't Worth Doing

Today's comic strip review:

Sally Forth:
Today's strip features the rest of Ted and Hilary being snarky about Sally's argument with her sister. The usual.

Jump Start:
Benny gives JoJo valuable advice about women. Apparently the grade-school kid has a "wife"? That's cool. Strip's kinda cute.

Crankshaft:
No one suffering the ill effects of dementia/aging/teenage rebellion today, so we're good.

Born Loser:
No one has yet put Brutus Thornapple out of his misery. Stay tuned.

Hagar:
This one actually had me thinking about Viking battle strategy and game theory for a minute. Then I ate another forkful of potatoes.

Blondie:
Blondie has mentioned Facebook three times in the last month, I believe. Not today, though.

Beetle Bailey:
I like today's strip. It features a win-win outcome, and a tender moment.

Mary Worth:
After doing some research, it seems The Comics Curmudgeon has done this for a long time, and much much better than me. I should give up now. But, this is pretty funny, too. So it looks like there's lots of room for people dissecting Mary Worth. Today looks like the beginning of a new story arc, featuring (as usual) white people eavesdropping on other white people.

Marmaduke:
Much like my friend Big Dave, Marmaduke falls under the following categories: Marmaduke acting like people, Marmaduke sitting on the furniture, Marmaduke getting a ride home from the cops, Marmaduke being a picky eater, Marmaduke pestering strangers, and Marmaduke making a mess. Today features Marmaduke being a picky eater.

Speed Bump:
Kind of funny. I've never been in a high-end restaurant.

Free Range:
I never noticed until this exercise that this comic was called "Free Range".

The Pajama Diaries:
Subtitle: "At the Hematologist's". Uh-oh.

Get Fuzzy:
A tender moment based on the dog's naive empathy for all things large and small.

Wizard of Id:
Today's comic introduces a step counter. They had a Popemobile recently. I would to get my hands on the Wizard of Id Anachronism How-To.

Judge Parker:
The guy has "JUDGE" vanity plates. That would be pretty cool, if he weren't actually a judge. Now it just screams, "Key, me, perps!" (I just noticed that it's clearly a Lexus. Way to go, Judge!)

Peanuts:
It's cool that they run classic Peanuts strips. But it's also kind of sad, because the Plain Dealer has them shrunk to about 55% size.

Dilbert:
I like how characters rotate the roles of straight man and comic foil. Silly nerd Dilbert.

Garfield:
Sort of what I said about Marmaduke, but with word bubbles. There's not much to say about Garfield that hasn't already been said.

Zits:
It's kind of true that kids take strange positions on furniture.

Doonesbury:
This is probably a reference to a current event I don't know about. I'll get back to you.

Prickly City:
Reminding us for the past week that ridiculous airport security restrictions are all part of Barack Hussein Obama's socialist agenda... I guess?

Pearls Before Swine:
Puns and idiom jokes you can see coming for miles, but still kind of funny to see.

Rhymes with Orange:
Somehow spent less time drawing the strip than coming up with the idea.

Non Sequitur:
Keen readers will note that the karaoke screen is facing the wrong direction.

The Amazing Spider-Man:
Did the hobo-looking crazy cousin of Wolverine just steal the head off of a museum T. Rex? Find out over the next three weeks!

Bizarro:
No spaceship in this one.

Today's Alternative Family Circus Caption:
"...but you should see what I did to Billy!"

Real Life Adventures:
Grumpy Dad, be nicer to your kid.

Frazz:
I wish I had a cool janitor like Frazz.

Funky Winkerbean:
I'm not sure what they're alluding to here, but at least it's not CANCER!
