Strip Contains Adult Matter

Our greatest fear has come to fruition.  There are now two--count them two Cathys.  May God have mercy on our souls.

And of course it's during the oncoming apocalypse that you realize that you've wasted your life working in a crappy local pizza store or blogging about comic strips.

Ok, Gasoline Alley it's time to leave the "cute" wordplay to the kids over at The Family Circus.

Why are we still talking about Halloween?  This strip looks like it should've been printed either October 29th or October 30th.

Is the reason Cleaver is "the whitest name" you've ever heard because of it's association with the Cleavers from TV's "Leave It to Beaver"?  What about former Kansas City, Missouri mayor and current Missouri Representative Emanual Cleaver?

Black Dilton Doiley needs to do his research.

This is as close to nudity as I ever want to come in a Born Loser strip.  Curse you, Chip.  CURSE YOU!!

The Beginning of the End

Ah, the economic crisis. I'm tired of hearing about it. This week, Cathy and her husband are in the financial planner's office planning their finances and learning that they are bankrupt. Cathy and her husband are "ACK"ing their way through the meeting, possibly causing the planner to drink more at the end of the day.

Like usual, this strip does not end humorously. I took it upon myself to fix it up and at least show what I would've written.

To make a long story short, turn off the TV, read a book. We've been through rough times before we've just never been alive for them.


Uh-oh, Dagwood's dead.

Now Blondie can cash in on that sweet, sweet life insurance.


I think we all do Rat. We all do.


So much going on. Zoe being overcome with homework, Hammie understanding the concept of an "all-nighter", Darryl running the show but I just can't get past the fact that Zoe appears to be left-handed.


Better watch out, Dolly. Daddy Keane's been on a bender and you do not want to wind up on the bad end of a Jack Daniels bottle.


Oh. I hope Born Loser doesn't spiral into the financial crisis crap that's starting to permeate the comic strips now. I don't know how long I'd be able to stand it.

No HD for the Thornapples

Make sure you've taken your LSD or ecstasy before reading the first comic today. When I first saw it I thought my house had a carbon monoxide leak or something.

I warned you. Leave it to The Better Half to make you question your sanity.


That is the most disturbing porno magazines ever. And I've seen some pretty disturbing magazines.


I wish I could change my radio stations...WITH MY MIND as she can apparently do. Her arms don't move. They are permanently attached to her torso.


ACK!! All those clothes make Cathy's hips look huge. She is almost as wide as the door she's walking out of.


Leroy has been turned into a Sim for the new Sim game which proves EA is running out of ideas as they are reduced to using past-their-prime comic strips as characters.


It's reasons like this as to why I don't like running a dishwasher. I'm always afraid it will blow up or flood the house. I know I'm just paranoid but it could happen.


Another sign that Aaron MacGruder is becoming the laziest cartoonist ever. I guess as long as the "Boondocks" TV series doesn't suffer I shouldn't complain.


Of course they watch Fox News. It's Fair and Balanced reporting is only second to the outstanding anchors they have such as Shepherd Smith, Bill O'Reilly and Greta Van Susteren.

Oop, I threw up a little.

Ruff's not Snoopy smart. Hell, he's not even Marmaduke smart.

I can't tell the difference between standard and high-def. High-def has sharper color but other than that I'll stick with my standard television. It does just fine, thank you. Who are you to judge me?!

$10 To Stop Unwanted Telemarketing Calls

So most of you think Veeblefester is either a bank president or lobbyist for the tobacco industry. I'd go with either lobbyist or communications company president because cable companies rob people blind.

Also, this is my last entry for a while. I'll still be around doing the Daily Comics Review every Saturday and the 20th will be here before you know it. But on to the comics.


Fade to black. Close curtain. The end.

No matter how much you hate Obama or how much you hate McCain, we are in for an amazing race.

Oh, Cathy. Always "Ack"ing your way through life. Why is life so difficult for you? It doesn't have to be. A bowl of Healthy Choice, a little bit of sugar, milk, eat. It's not that hard, Cathy. It's not that hard.

Old person bodily functions are funny.

So many puns. Blacking out...Head imploding...Skin--spontaneously combusting.......

Ah, telemarketing. I worked for a company for about two days before I was fired that was technically a telemarketing type of job. It was horrible. Someday I'll tell you about it.

See you on the 20th.
