Bil Should Know To Just Turn Right Around When Thel Is Looking At Pictures


Family Circus
"Let's have another baby."

"That sounds like a great idea. Just give me a minute and we can start." *Googles 'How to perform your own vasectomy*

Funky Winkerbean
Yeah, I really miss all the wasted trees and getting ink on my hands or having to read a soaked paper or wait to have a new delivered. I certainly miss dealing with pages that won't fold back properly or get that stupid kink in the fold when I try to turn the page. Also, black and white daily comics? I wish that was a still a thing.

Hagar the Horrible
Does the artwork seem a little off today? It just seems a bit more cartoony than usual and that's saying something considering how cartoony Hagar normally looks.

"I have solved the mystery. Shady Shrew and his friend ate your pizza so you may have the last piece."

"Gee, that's very kind of you."

"Not a problem. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go teach that dog-boy over there some things about kite aerodynamics."

"Kick ass, Shady. We just ate an entire stolen pizza and there were no consequences for it."

$8!?! Get Outta Here!


Blondie
Whoa. Sir.

Crock
Is that supposed to be a cell phone or is that cactus some sort of desert phone booth?

Slylock Fox and Comics For Kids
Why can't Max buy his own $8 bubble wand? Just more evidence that Max is some sort of servant to Slylock and not a junior detective or Dr. Watson. $8?!! Shady is lucky that his 1500% fraud just warrants a stern talking to and not a prison sentence like everything else in this dark yet brightly colored future.

Popeye
I...guess this is a change in storyline...

I'm Interested In the Warner Bros. Copyright Infringement With 'Not Wile E. Coyote'


Slylock Fox and Comics For Kids
Most of the time the crimes that happen in Slylock Fox are really borderline crimes. The perpetrator would get a slap on the wrist and that's it. But today, Reeky Rat crosses the line from everyday cartoonish villainy to real life villainy as he not only steals an antique dollhouse but also burns it to cook his dinner dispose of the evidence.

Ripley's Believe It Or Not
Was this Hillary Clinton fact submitted by someone in the Trump campaign? I remember when Hillary really started using that "I'm a woman" line in her campaign, numerous people brought up the many women who had run before her. The first woman to run for President was Victoria Woodhull of the Equal Rights Party in 1872. She had no ballot access in any state and it appears that her votes weren't even counted. Since then, there have been numerous women that ran for president but the thing is, we're a two-party system and until Hillary Clinton in 2016, no woman had ever been the nominee of a major party meaning that those women had no hope of coming close to winning the White House. You may not like Hillary Clinton but that doesn't mean you get to soften the historic value of her run for President.

Family Circus
Ha! Joke's on Billy and Dolly. That snake ate all the peanuts thus saving Jeffy from a deadly peanut allergy attack.

Humans Lost Rights Quickly Under the New Animal Regime


Hi and Lois
The look on Hi's face in the first panel is the best thing so far in the new year. The fact that he's making it as he is declining an offer of sexual abandon makes it even better.

I swear to god that if some jackass at Westar Energy rats me out and I have to give back the penguins I stole from the zoo that I am currently housing in my basement, I'm gonna lose my freakin' mind!!

Confusing Comics


Dennis the Menace
What? Do rabbits and doves come out of your Mom's purse?

Hi and Lois
Since when does Chip listen to his mom? Why does she look stunned? Because he has popcorn with him or because he has healthy popcorn with him?

Heathcliff
but y tho...?

panels from Slylock Fox and Comics For Kids
Okay, we're going to learn how to draw a cow.

That's inappropriate, Bob Weber, Jr.

Christmas 2016



I've always been a huge fan of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It's part of the reason that I try to be a decent human being. The thought of possibly being shackled with heavy chains in the afterlife does not thrill me, I don't care if I am a ghost. My favorite versions are the Mister Magoo version and this one. It's only 25 minutes and it won an Oscar. Enjoy and then head down to the comics.

I guess you could put a tarp over the artifacts or maybe you should've driven something that was a bit more enclosed. Or just bury everything, I guess that works too.

Rex Morgan, M.D.
I would've rather seen Rex read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to Sarah but her coming out of her coma is good too, I guess.

Exploding Islands! Superheroes Through Windows!! Hollywood Cliff Driving!!!


Mark Trail
"I hope Mark and that woman he met here were able to get off the island. Hope she doesn't mind that I took her boat. I'm sure they were able to get away."

The Amazing Spider-Man
I would like to thank the writer and artist on The Amazing Spider-Man for giving us two days of Peter Parker being thrown through a window. It's like an early Christmas.

Funky Winkerbean
Oh-oh. We're in black and white again. I'm more concerned about that than I am about Marianne driving her car off a cliff near the Hollywood sign.

Dennis the Menace
"Do girls just wander around the woods by themselves a lot because I learned this really cool trick the other day and I want to try it out."

Slylock Fox and Comics For Kids
I'm glad that Slylock Fox is finally starting to cater to what the kids really know a lot about--the economies and exports of foreign countries.

Why Does the Napping Mouse Look Nothing Like Max?


Crankshaft
I find it hard to believe that Ed Crankshaft knows what a Vespa is but aside from that, I get the feeling that Tom Batiuk was in the same situation maybe last year and instead of paying attention to beautiful songs and angelic singing, he spent the entire concert thinking of bad puns for his comic strip(s).

The Amazing Spider-Man
I'm glad that Ronan finally put Spider-Man out of his misery. It's been a long time coming. I'm shocked it didn't happen sooner.

Beetle Bailey
What is Mort Walker's fascination with sunbeams? I swear, it's a sickness, I tells you. A sickness.

Slylock Fox and Comics For Kids
The one case Slylock gives Max is one that Max could never solve. "You'll never make the big leagues," Slylock gloats, trying not the laugh. "Don't worry, you'll make it someday. One morning I woke up, had this Sherlock Holmes hat and masterful detection skills. I don't even know how it happened."

If He's Running After the Bear Thief, Who Is Watching the Store?


Mother Goose and Grimm
Does Mother Goose have that painting hanging in her house or did they go to a museum just to point out that the Queen's Elizabethan collar is basically the same as a veterinarian cone?

Slylock Fox and Comics for Kids
Reading today's Slylock Fox, I was initially thinking the solution had something to do with 'root beer' actually being written on the bottle, or maybe the bear at the bus stop had been drinking his so his would have less liquid in it. And why is one of those bears not wearing shoes? The robber bear wore shoes because he knew that he was going to commit a crime.

What? Open the soda bottle and let all the carbonation escape? Let the root beer overflow and get my paw sticky? Great.

Rex Morgan, M.D.
I don't blame Sarah for wanting to stop shoveling the snow. That sidewalk goes on forever. I would much rather honor Richard Thompson, too.

What Isn't Derivative?


Hi and Lois
It does seem highly derivative of Georges Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte only except for people boating and rowing, it's a guy fishing. Dot is right in her air of smugness.

The Amazing Spider-Man
Starr's plan collapsed all within two panels. Why Starr thought he would get away with it, I don't know. There are four witnesses. Hell, even if Ant-Man and Spider-Man aren't reliable witnesses, Pym and Jameson are upstanding citizens.

Hey, that's a Daily Bugle-issued camera, Jameson thinks, finally putting two and two together.

Slylock Fox and Comics for Kids
The car on the right was set ablaze during the #RaccoonLivesMatter protests sweeping through the forest. The dog is having an existential crisis of what his purpose is--sure, he puts out fires but there are always just more of them. The water drains to the lake instead of the river. The car is a Buick, not a Honda. The crocodile is married.

Oh, or the wheel, ear, smoke, fangs, tail, and door handle. Whatever.

Does the Camera Show Shady Throwing Anything?


B.C.
So either the cast of B.C. has become aware that they are in a comic strip or they consider whoever created the Heavens and the Earth God but call him "The Artist". I'm fine with either scenario.

Barney Google and Snuffy Smith
This is about my extent of trying to get rich. This and posting on this website every day hoping for a book deal or something.

Dennis the Menace
I'm assuming this is Dennis' maternal grandfather. What I always thought was interesting is that this grandfather sort of looks like Mr. Wilson. Is this why Dennis spends a lot of his time with Mr. Wilson, to vicariously be with his grandfather who he doesn't see very often? That's quite sad.

Curtis
My mama's fat ass equals jobs, Derrick.

Slylock Fox and Comics for Kids
Or...whoever through the rock, climbed through the broken window, grabbed the rock and left back out through the broken window. Although Shady is looking through the window cackling at how stupid the three of them are so maybe he is guilty.

Why is Max standing in the shards of glass with no shoes on? Is that the example we want to set for kids?
