It’s time once again for your Friday comment of the week! I did eventually tackle Luann this week, but Maggie’s comment pretty much describes why it took me so long.
“I can’t believe you’re calling out hot sexy comic strip action without mentioning this week’s Luann! Is it because you eyes burn with shame and confusion each day this queasiness progresses? Because … because I get that. When I saw Toni Daytona charlie horse humping Brad today, I called in sick and went back to bed.” –Maggie
And your runners up! Very funny!
“The dissonance between Adrian’s desperate eyes in the first panel and her claim to be ‘calm and happy’ is something out of a POW video. If this were a live video, her eyes would be blinking the horrific truth in Morse code.” –Johnny Knuckles
“Wait, is Mary eating a Pantone PMS 727 indeterminate puff, or her own middle finger? Apparently even she isn’t immune to the oily, seeping tendrils of boredom Adrian shoots out like strangler vines.” –bunivasal
“Mary, try the hors d’oeuvres! I chose these plain, gray crackers to symbolize our impending bland, unsatisfying marriage.” –Ethan Shuster
“We find it intriguing that shades of lavender seem to be de rigueur at Charterstone this week: the higher the status, the darker the hue. Mrs. Worth is, of course, exempt. When purple becomes the badge of the common folk, the nobility wears teal. ” –Fashion Police
“Also, the Lodge tyranny explains why Archie hasn’t done a stroke of proper work in several decades. Honestly, look at that complacent yawning mug. It makes me thirst for the revolution.” –TruthOfAngels
“I think we can mark today as the day grad school has official broken me: I read that Archie strip and found myself nodding knowingly at the final panel. ‘I feel you, Archie comic spinster schoolmarm lady. Students are the worst!’” –Revenge of Chesnut
“I’m pretty sure that when Mark gets out of the shower, he’ll just rip off that layer of skin, revealing a new layer of khaki just underneath. He only really needs to shower in order to maintain his slicked-wet hairdo.” –Jim North
“Funky Winkerbean: The ‘my wife’ joke actually makes a lot of sense because as Les’s handler for this stop of the tour, I’m pretty sure Mike now wishes he were dead, like Lisa.” –No Stupid Bear
“‘I think one of us had a little too much to drink’ reflects Doc Jeff’s confusion over whether this hot young booze-addled blonde’s come-on stems from her disinhibition or his hallucination. Either way, it’s the best damn day of his life.” –Uncle Lumpy
“I’m glad we still don’t know whether or not Mark has nipples. Either answer would be creepy.” –Poteet
“Shoe: I imagine that the art intern was charged with drawing a Treetops version of Santa, but the beak didn’t work. And he started asking himself if this Santa-bird would still have a beard, and how would that make any sense? Then he spent the rest of the day weeping in the corner.” –Artist formerly known as Ben
“As soon as Les gets the projector set up, we are all invited up his ass for a slideshow commemorating Lisa’s suffering and death, projected onto the interior of his rectum. (Musical accompaniment: ‘I Will Remember You’ by Sarah McLachlan.)” –Walker of Dog
“The romantic misadventures of Aunt Iris are clearly building up to a spin-off strip entitled Willard Scott: Taxicab Matchmaker.” –Doctor Handsome
“Damn you, Comics Curmudgeon. For the first time in my life I find myself seeking out today’s Mary Worth to see what happens. By the way, Jill appears to be melting.” –k#
“Greg Evans is just messing with us. I think he originally draws Brad and Toni having sex, for his own perverse enjoyment, then uses Photoshop to move them two feet apart and add clothing. The dialog’s unchanged.” –cheech wizard
“I hope the cabman manages to be pretty assertive with his advice, considering Aunt Iris’ gift-giving history. Otherwise our hapless cyclist may be spending the next few weeks rearranging his living room around a civil-war cannon, old-timey jukebox and full-sized puppet theater.” –Violet
“It seems to me that ‘another incident’ is exactly what Adrian wants: look at that smile on her face as she proffers Jill support. ‘No,’ Jill mumbles, ‘I don’t want any water.’ ‘It’s vodka, sweetie, now drink up … we’ve both got four more hours of this crap.’” –I am Jack’s username
“Family Circus: No, Dolly, they’re ‘triplets,’ not ‘threeplicates.’ Not everyone was grown in a vat like you and your brothers.” –Mr. Goboto
“Pretty sure you’re giving Marvin’s look of terror way too much credit for listening/caring to the beings around him. It is just random happenstance timing, that he just dropped a massive, unexpected deuce in his pants. In which case the bug eyes are less ‘terror’ and more ‘SURPRISE DUMP EGO POWER SURRRRRGE.’” –Wilbur

I just realized something horrible; you know how BD and Boopsie have turned Zonker into a more-or-less loyal family retainer, right? Sure, he goes off on the occasional spree but the rest of the time, he’s a fairly reliable serf to the man who used to wear helmets despite not knowing why. It occurs to me that Greg Evans is doing the same damned thing to Brad, Toni and TJ. It isn’t going to be too much longer before we associate The Grin That Walks with his canine loyalty and forget his get-rich-quick schemes.

Fashion PoliceDecember 3rd, 2010 at 7:54 pm [Reply]
@dreadedcandiru2 (#9):
Well, it might be a more interesting strip if Miss Daytona took over the master bedroom and relegated TJ to striped trousers and a starched collar, and cramped quarters next to the laundry facilities. Despite his occasionally grandiose ideas, the lad posesses the ingratiating manner ideally suited to a life devoted to service, as well as the need for gainful employment.
Such a coup would certainly set the cap of Miss Daytona’s arch-enemy Mrs. deGroot.
VioletDecember 3rd, 2010 at 8:07 pm [Reply]
Thank you so much, Josh, for the delightful recognition and thank you, Patrick. I don’t know If I’ve mentioned it but I find your comments consistently hilarious.
On a different note, so if I understand today’s Luann correctly, Brad has a charley horse in his face, and he wants Toni to massage it away? Hmm. Well, I guess that explains why he looks like that.

Lesser WharkDecember 3rd, 2010 at 8:26 pm [Reply]
I recently came across Mort Walker’s The Lexicon of Comicana, thanks to Square Root of Minus Garfield. Now I’m torn. I want to start throwing around ‘plewds’ and ‘agitrons’ in regular conversation (the way a few of you regulars already use ‘grawlix’), but then I’d be using words invented by Mort Walker. He was funny when he wrote that, so my question is: can a cartoonist’s current output be so offensively unfunny as to retroactively taint their previously funny work?
Also, what is Adrian displaying? The lexicon defines ‘emanata’ (for shock or surprise) and ’solrads’ (for luminous objects) but neither seems adequate for this strip, especially after seeing Johnny Knuckles’s interpretation.

Repost due to jumpage:
@Rimpy (#y33): MT: I’m too lazy to try to find it in the archives, but didn’t Cherry once fondle a phone cord erotically just like Kelly Welly is doing? I think the artist just swapped the already-nearly-indistinguishable heads of the women (or more probably – their hairdos).
I, on the other hand, am not so lazy, and possibly mildly OCD to boot. So I found it first in the Comics Kingdom archives, and then in Josh’s:
Of course, it’s possible that I’m wildly misreading all of this, and, as Cherry languorously plays with the phone cord in panel one, she’s actually initiating a little erotic phone talk.
And, here’s the side-by-side comparison I put together.

You know, I have to wonder what long-time Wizard Of Id readers who have no idea what the kids these days and their war crafts are about thought when reading today’s strip.

@Poteet (#Y182): I hope you in fact read longer in the Wikipedia article to get to this sentence:
“Mark Trail, the main character, is a photojournalist and outdoor magazine writer whose assignments lead him into danger and adventure. His assignments inevitably lead him to discover environmental misdeeds, most often solved with a crushing right cross.”
(With “cross” linked to the article on a crosspunch in boxing, obviously.) To my mind it’s the greatest sentence on Wikipedia, and while I didn’t write it, I keep the Mark Trail article on my watchlist and jealously gaurd against killjoy attempts to delete it as “unencyclopedic” or some such balderdash.

@Artist formerly known as Ben (#27): Hate to break it to you, but Walker is very much non-Morte. He’s still out there and making sure Beetle Baily remains chock-full of classic 1950s humor and notions about women.
And being included on the float this week was a pleasant surprise, particularly in light of my infrequent contributions these days. Always better to ride than to walk, as Beetle and his friends would say. Thanks, Josh.

@Josh (#30): @Rocky Stoneaxe (#38): Dammit! Yeah, I have a little bit of egg on my face. I think I may have gotten confused between Walker and Dik Browne, who spawned the other half of Walker-Browne Amalgamated Humor Enterprises. Dik shuffled off this mortal coil in ‘89. So I guess Mort Walker actually does rate some of the blame for what Beetle Bailey has become. (Or credit. If DADT is repealed, maybe Beetle and Sarge will have something to do with it.)
So Frank Costanza outlived Morty Seinfeld. Bitterness must have preserved him.

Another fine week in snark, though I fear I’ll never get used to the new COTW Fridays.
I thought today’s Luann had Brad asking Toni to sit on his face, but then, I’m seriously jet-lagged.
9CL – I’d go back to the story of how Grandmama defeated Nazi Germany or the one with the Unicorn if only we could get away from two bitches in heat.
FW – And speaking of masturbatory fantasies, I can only assume that somewhere, Batuik lies spent, surrounded by crumpled Kleenex, or perhaps a stray tube sock, glowing about this week’s strips.
MW – I feel bad for Jill. There isn’t enough potato-ade in the world to get her through the next week. And moreover, why didn’t the good doctor tap that when he had the chance? We know Mary’s skills as a cock-blocker are second only to her meddling prowess.

@True Fable (#39): Sir Fable MTK, a college in Iowa decided to provide de-stressing activities for students this week as they face their finals, and one of the activities was a room full of cuddly animals for petting.

Judging from student reactions, the room was a success.

9CL: I’m not entirely sure how convincing Roger he’s really a Narnian-level closet case is going to stop the mother and daughter from exchanging sexual fantasies with each other, but I won’t question the method as long as it gets results.
C’shaft: Lies. Crankshaft knew Rose would want some and just spent the last ten minutes scarfing down the remaining rumballs just so he could deny her the pleasure. He’ll puke them up later, but the misanthropic high he’s enjoying right now will be worth it.
FW: Yes, everything in Les’ life, up to and including Lisa’s death, has happened for the sole purpose of making him a famous author. The only reason why he’s not heading the TVTropes page for “Black Hole Sue” is because they don’t allow examples on it.
MW: Oh hey, there’s Scott! (I think–at the risk of sounding racist, all these sherbet orange blazers look the same to me.) Apparently the happy couple so strapped for cash that not only are they honeymooning at the Santa Royale Super 8, but the groom is forced to pull double duty as a waiter.

Luann: Toni is so uninterested in sex that she hasn’t even taken her shoes off. Brad is uninterested in sex due to the painful sensation of a shoe in his crotch.

In Holland, where apartments tend to be small, they have grand and baby grand pianos in an upright formation. These pianos tend to be tall, but they sound as good as their more horizontal cousins, but have a much smaller footprint. I’m wondering now if you can find these in New York. Or even in Holland anymore – I saw them in museums. This is why A3G is better than the other soap strips. It makes me wonder about the region specificity of musical instrument evolution, versus Rex Morgan, which forces me to think of prostates and (inexplicably G-rated_ social networking, or Mary Worth which has more of a focus on food-horrors like potatoade.

Do mothers and daughters normally exchange explicit sexual fantasies in a state of semi-orgasm about a friend who is standing right there? Sorry, gay teens, but “it gets better” doesn’t apply in the Burberverse.

You don’ know the crazed bitches up here. Shoulda seen the woman in the cab this mornin’. Made me hep her get flowers for a bike messenger. Thought she’d tongue mah bootyhole ‘fore we was done.
NOBODY better be in that bootyhole but my lappin’ tongue or a warrant finger!
Girrrrl, you shaved the legs and I shaved this mornin’. Lessee what happens when we put ‘em together.

JP – Most people would see that look on Abby’s face and assume she’s thinking about sex, but given this is Judge Parker, she’s probably just going to have him clean out the attic.
DtM – Ok, but you don’t get any long cake until you’ve finished your long pig – and quit asking what happened to Joey.
MT – Kelly really seems to be enjoying the mental torment she’s inflicting on Cherry, in an “I’m-going-to-fuck-your-husband-and-you-can’t-do-anything-about-it-because-you’re-500-miles-away” kind of way. Of course, she’s really just a moron with idiocy inscribed on her very DNA, the same as Mark, and so the chances of anything happening between them are… um, wait, what’s the backstory on Rusty again?

I’m appalled! The comics have become a hotbed of sexuality and heavy petting and substance abuse and coprophilia!! Disgusting!
Luann: Brad is attempting to put his arm all the way up Toni’s pant leg. You’re gonna need a longer arm, son! Also, Toni is obviously dead. She doesn’t move or change her expression at all. Brad has strangled her so he can have his way with her, and he’s so damn pathetic all he can think of is rubbing her damn leg.
9 Chickweed Lane: What the fuck?! Are Roger and Seth gonna rip off their clothes and engage in some full-on gay sex in front of Edda? Do they think that will stop her? She’s obviously an omnisexual freak and will just jump in and join them.
Flight Deck: My husband is a transvestite and he looks better in my dresses than I do. Um, I can’t even think of anything funny to say about that.
Mary Worth: Really, when was the last time you comforted and catered to an out-of-control drunk person? In reality we just keep moving away from them and hoping they don’t puke on us.
Marvin spews feces out of his ass at such a prodigious rate that his parents can’t keep up with it. Just what I want to read when I’m having brunch.
Mark Trail: Cherry should just laugh at Kelly and say “Good luck, sister! Mark has no idea what his penis is for. Trust me on this.”
Judge Parker: The younger suit guy is gonna bang his hot redheaded wife/girlfriend/sister! (I do not care enough about this strip to waste brain space learning who these people are.)
Curtis: Die, Curtis! You must die for making me imagine Derrick and his PYT (potato-shaped young thing) doing it!

Why are they happy? Gil didn’t take them away from a regular practice session, like when your history teacher brought in a film.

Jill’s “No” may be the greatest piece of dialog ever written for Mary Worth, particularly when coupled with her grim determination to keep drinking. She’s going to get through this evening, dammit, no matter how many pressed chicken sandwiches and Jell-o salads they throw at her. With any luck, she’ll black out before the DJ can gin up the Macarena or, god forbid, the Chicken Dance.

12/4
DT: “Links for a missing link.” 1-Truly vile pun. 2-I’ve been reading all week (yes) and I don’t remember any mention of More Dread being a Java Man.
RMMD: Rex is absolutely right. The story of how the mayor’s prostate saved Christmas is not one that should be told sober.
S-M: “Not to be an asshole, but ha ha! I’m an asshole!”
FW: There are two ways to reach Les’ heart. The first, of course, is to die. The second is to speak of his glorious destiny and in general show a kind of Squeaky Fromme-to-Charles Manson devotion. It should be noted that the second way doesn’t necessarily excuse you from the first.
GT: The team is brought together by getting high on paint fumes. Yes, I think Cody Exner would approve.
BSt: Sometimes a caulking gun is just a caulking gun. And then there’s times like this.
M-Dawg: Seeking enlightenment so you can shake it by the throat until dead.
Marvin: Thanks for bringing up “the volume of Marvin’s output.” Thank you ever so. That’s just what we all needed.
9CL: When Seth tells Roger “It’s time to put an end to this,” he’s also handing him $300 and a .38 with the serial numbers filed off, right? Please?

Elrod: “Hey, I got a decent drawing of a person in here for once! I don’t care if Cherry’s expression is inappropriate for the dialogue, it stays in!”

B.C.: Remember when this strip would actually do stories about Thor inventing a stoneage version of some modern-day thing, instead of just name-dropping the modern-day thing out of context? I do. I miss those days.
Dennis: Those “mischievous eyes” ain’t foolin’ anybody, kiddo; you’re a Family Circus reject and you know it.
Funky Winkerbean: Aw, fer the love of… Jay Naylor’s Gary Stu was more subtle than this! Batiuk, your comic is not worth the paper it’s printed on.
