Today's comic strip review:
Sally Forth:
Ted wins a bet about Sally's sister's philandering. High five, Ted!
Jump Start:
Looks like JoJo went with the trash flowers. And I guess he does have a wife.
Crankshaft:
We get a healthy helping of old man boobs and a hint of asscrack. Enjoy breakfast, everyone!
Born Loser:
Diss on Grandma! High five, Brutus!
Hagar:
What do you think Viking beer tastes like? Remember, it's probably warm.
Blondie:
Dagwood's in his undies. At least, unlike Crankshaft, he wears a shirt.
Beetle Bailey:
Careless disregard of possibly sensitive military paperwork.
Mary Worth:
Mary's thought balloons will serve as my moral compass today.
Marmaduke:
Today features Marmaduke acting like people.
Speed Bump:
Don't read if you're a boring person.
Free Range:
Twist on guru/mountain scenario.
The Pajama Diaries:
Still "At the Hematologist's". Crap!
Get Fuzzy:
More hugs.
Wizard of Id:
The King of Id will soon realize that his chief of police is an escaped Nazi war criminal.
Judge Parker:
Definitely a Lexus. Also, I'm pretty sure at this point that the Judge is the one with the crew cut.
Peanuts:
Pep talk gone wrong.
Dilbert:
Dilbert IN DA CLUB
Garfield:
Looks like it's "Garfield Talks to the Big Purple Dog Week"!
Zits:
If only Jeremy's poor parents had some control over his technological consumption.
Doonesbury:
Still haven't figured out what we're referencing here.
Prickly City:
Get it? It sucks to fly!
Pearls Before Swine:
French joke.
Rhymes with Orange:
Someone will have to explain this one to me. I really don't get it.
Non Sequitur:
The space constraints in newspapers force artists to draw people sitting about two feet from a large-screen TV.
The Amazing Spider-Man:
Ha ha! The hobo guy DID take the dinosaur head! Expect him to make threats until... Saturday.
Bizarro:
Can't find the pie.
Today's Alternative Family Circus Caption:
"I'm not talking until my lawyer's here."
Real Life Adventures:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like Gary Wise or Lance Aldrich are familiar with the cost of retaining a tax lawyer.
Frazz:
Where do these kids always find Frazz? Do they spill things just so he shows up for some philosophy?
Funky Winkerbean:
"Our Lady of Three-Pointers". I've seen their graduates at roller derby. Be afraid.

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!
