Saturday and Sunday In One Convenient Package

I'll give you the details on my Saturday later but for right now I have both the Saturday and Sunday comics for you.


Coincidentally, 13 and a quarter inches is also the length of Gunther's...fabric scissors.


Why are there only four crackers on the table? It seems like she's hosting some sort of dinner party or something along those lines since she bought good crackers and people are asking for dip. Also, who's the dip the Fat Broad is talking about? She's not married or anything, I don't think.


I thought of a better idea for today's strip. Enjoy...

Ah, what you can do with the cut and paste feature in Paint and a prediliction for gay jokes.


Nancy and Sluggo seem to be friends with benefits as it appears that Nancy is now seven or eight months pregnant.

I wonder if Aunt Fritzi knows...


Do people really call it "leaf debris"? Just call it what it is: fallen leaves.


What's with the giant chasm?


Yep, being romantic costs money. I should send bills to my ex-girlfriends to repay me for dinners, movies, jewlery, etc. I gave them during our relationships. Not all of them though, just select few.


O.......kay.

No more LSD for Chip.

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?!

Number 200

Wow, 200. I never thought I would continue this blog as long as I have. Of course, if I didn't have any readers, I probably would've ended it a long time ago. It's the readers and fellow comic bloggers that helped me along so a part of this celebration belongs to you also. It's been slightly mind-numbing to do this nearly everyday but I have enjoyed it and while this blog originally started out to assist my hatred of the comic strip The Born Loser, I have now developed a kind of respect for it, even though it is still pretty darn awful.

I don't plan on changing this blog too much, even though I have switched it over to my own tauycreek.com and changed the name to "Watch This Space" but I am going on a vacation starting September 1st. August 31st will be the last entry until September 20th. Reasons for the vacation are, wanted to spend time with my son, spend time polishing my second novel, focusing on my other writings (stuff that makes me money) and the main thing: moving. Also, I feel I am burned out by comic strips lately. I plan on keeping my role in "The Daily Comics Review" every Saturday and I'll be back before you know it. Remember, there are dozens of wonderful comic blog sites out there so there won't be a lack of reading.

Now, onto the comics.

Damn. No wonder those "Brian Is a Dope" shirts sold out. But at least the "Brian Was Right" shirts will be worth more money.

What's the deal with the ice machine? Is it part of a joke that I'm missing?

A belated birthday cameo from Alley Oop. Plus Peter and Stewie Griffin. Second best Lio ever.

Nothing should perk up your day more than a raptor receiving a blowjob--then not holding up his end of the bargain.

I've done some pretty stupid stuff to get girls to like me (all failed) but getting a tattoo was not one of them. I'm wondering what Brad's mom will say--if he goes through with it. I'm thinking he won't but I was wrong about Grandpa Jim.

I don't lie about going to the gym...I'm in decent shape in respect to the size I could be.

This strip is dedicated to my fiancee who went to see "Mamma Mia!" and didn't drag me along.

Same here. Jonathan Silverman has never let me down.

Who's weird now?

I'm so glad Marcie from Peanuts has been able to work steadily the last eight years. The origin of the word s'more is unknown but more than likely came from a contraction of "some" and "more" as hinted here and confired by Wikipedia.

Theoretically, shouldn't big hands be useful in bed? I'm just saying...

Ah, the plight of our country's bankrupt health care system is even affecting nursery rhymes characters. I'm worrying about Little Miss Tuffet who not only got bitten by a brown recluse but got food poisoning from something called curds and whey.

Any intervention where people call you a moron is my kind of intervention.

Hope someone does that to the person (or persons) who broke my license plate a couple months ago.

Whee!! The sacks of money are back! I'm wondering what kind of business Veeblefester has. It's a job where the top ranking people take home millions of dollars while the underlings get nothing so...that's no help. Let's see what the readers think. Answer the poll on the side and on Sunday we'll see what the winner is.

These Comics Weren't Invited To the Wedding

Having Internet problems for the last couple of days. Has been a chore to get things posted which makes it an annoyance. Hopefully next week goes smoother.


My Favorite Words
Scrotum
Pedophile (don't ask)
Debacle
Smooth
Union


My Least Favorite Words
Milky
Moist
Welding
Ghoul
Bulbous


I have an employer where that poster would look great. Too bad any form of individuality became grounds for termination.

You didn't see the huge "DO NOT USE IN WATER" warning before you bought the beached whale?

Not even his real friends on MySpace came to help him. Hopefully the few people I ask to help me move will do it. If not it's going to be one horrible weekend.

I don't mind product placement but sometimes it does get out of hand. Especially when the whole TV episode is brought to you by the new Toyota Yaris--I'm looking in your direction CW Network.

Also, this blog entry brought to you by:

[Insert Nokia Ringtone Here]

There's a guy I work with who I think really needs an item like that. I would be more than happy to give him three punches.

Boy Rocket is addicted to gasoline? Little Einsteins are owned by Disney so it's Disney's fault gas prices are so high.

"She was free and willing to make out with me so maybe you two should question your relationship instead of pummelling me into this brick wall."

Mastadon Wife must not see the look of utter fear in her neighbor's eyes. The green-eyed monster must be obstructing her view.

I remember the huge cell phones. Considering Brutus' new phone has an antenna, that has got to be one old cell phone.

Get Off My Lawn!

I checkd out www.madmag.com to see if you could view the Mad Fold-In online and what a surprise, you can't. For recent issues, they only choose certain pages to showcase and you have to admit the Fold-In would be kind of a difficult page to show online. Plus, I can do the Fold-In without folding the magazine so there.

This editorial cartoon is done by the guy that does The Knight Life and although I don't remember the '80s very much, I chuckled at the drawing of Indiana Jones who is screaming at kid to stay off his lawn. Hopefully the movie consists of more than that. Especially since Shia LeBeouf is in it.

Oh, Lord. Look at that chair. How come the chair has to have a design on it? I also hate the strips with Wilberfoce sitting on Brutus' lap. That's also disturbing.
