Momma, 3/26/11
I was all set to just write this off as more of this strip’s typical Oedipal horror, but then I actually got a good look of the chinless, mouthless nightmare on the front of Tina’s head in panel two. I don’t care how much you love your wife, there’s now way you’re going to describe that as anybody’s “gorgeous face.”
Crock, 3/26/11
Oh boy! Is Crock going to feature more jokes involving Quench the camel either threatening to slobber on people or actually slobbering on people? I am very firmly in favor of this, as it’s the first even vaguely delightful development to come occur in Crock in the entire time I’ve been inflicting it on myself. Yay for more camel saliva! God, how low are my standards that I just said that?
Marvin, 3/26/11
Having dedicated its main focus to its title character’s noxious feces for some time now, Marvin has taken the logical next step, and has begun using the aforementioned feces as the solution to most of the problems that arise within the strip’s narrative.

wow. that’s a triptych of disgusto, and no mistake!

His “wife” appears to be some sort of human-chair hybrid. Still, that’s no excuse to make out with your Momma.

My goodness, Marvin is like some kind of tweaker nightmare/fantasy writ large that I not only can’t, but simply refuse to, acknowledge.

Quench the Camel looks like Bullwinkle after he got caught in a clothes mangler.

Lio – When I first glanced at Sunday”s Lio, my brain glossed over the flowers. I thought it was a dig at 9CL.

Marvin: Yes, you can smell now, doggie, but do you want to? That is a stench that’s burned into your nostrils till the day you die and even beyond.

RE. Marvin. Oh, come on. Is there a dog alive who doesn’t revel in the smell of $h1+?

9CL: So, this guy tells them he’s going out to the pond and will be “channelling Johnny Weir.” Unlike me, they actually know who Johnny Weir is, but don’t make the connection to ice skating? Then they get to the pond and can’t tell that it’s frozen, even though frozen water looks nothing like unfrozen water? Plus? How fucking pretentious can you get!

@Charlene (#9): Even the crime-stoppers tip makes sense. Although, now it’s got me wondering about all that abandoned property in AG3.

Saturday’s MOMMA reminds me of the title to a Harlan Ellison postapocalyptic science fiction story: “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream”. Sonja Hobbs has been a hideously mutated creature since the strip’s inception, but now her daughter-in-law Tina has turned into one as well!

Crock: I’m confused. The “food” being fed to Quench….that going out or coming in?

Tina looks like William Holden John McCain.

Today’s Momma makes me want to go out and buy a newspaper, just so I can burn it in a desperate attempt to feel clean again.

But don’t take them out in public
Or they will stick you them the dock
And them won’t a-come a-back

I am continually fascinated with the chairs in Momma. They are always proportional in relation to the seated, made out of material the consistency of warmed marshmallows, and are always positioned in bleak, featureless rooms. If you could outfit Crock’s hills with Momma’s chairs, you’d have…well, you’d have a lumpy place to sit on a hill.

@Rocky Stoneaxe (y285) Blaze? I wonder why “Flame” came to mind? Yeah, Blaze is rather strippery. “Blaze Seduction”… yeah.

Marvin will come to an abrupt end when he finally stops shitting his pants and moves on to underwear and toilets and leaves diapers behind. Without shitty diapers, there will be no more jokes.
Scott BotMarch 27th, 2011 at 3:00 pm [Reply]
Luann – Ok, is Luann just ruminating about why the school doesn’t teach things like kissing, or is she requesting a course on the subject? I really would like to know – I want to find out whether I should be irritated or nauseated by today’s strip.
IndichikMarch 27th, 2011 at 3:02 pm [Reply]
Momma: Considering that his “wife” is a wax dummy propped up on the living room couch, I think kissing Momma would actually be a marked improvement.

There were jokes?

Family Circus– How many kids do you know are shorter than the tire on a car?
Elaine CorvidaeMarch 27th, 2011 at 3:16 pm [Reply]
I suspect that the wife-chair in MOMMA is actually a cheap blow-up doll. Which is still better than the idea of anyone kissing Momma.

I’ve been reading the Comics Curmudgeon for awhile and have never before felt the need to comment. Reading that Marvin strip has ruined my life. Thank you.

Considering that most of the problems that exist in Marvin’s narrative are already related to Marvin’s shit, we’ve got about a month before the entire strip is replaced by three brown rectangles that will hover inexplicably in every comics page in America, and will fall just ahead of Crock on opinion polls.

Well, sometimes they’ll be green. Or even rainbowed, if he ate Cap’n Crunch Just Berries.

the wife expression in mama is one of oh well if he wants to kiss mama i have it made. junior willing to try and regain his smell by sniffing marvin’s own personal wmd proves how evil Marvin really is . that even his diapers are to be feared.

@queek, source of Cuteness, Kawaii Commando (#1): Seconded! I felt my stomach heave after #1, and #2, but managed to gag it down. But after the feces joke in number there, I have to wonder, is ANYONE editting the “funnies” anymore?

@ScienceGiant (#30): “Any baby with a brain could tell them everybody poops” seems to be the only controlling factor. :-(
AlisonMarch 27th, 2011 at 7:20 pm [Reply]
What’s really sick about all this is that a lot of people still read the funnies while they eat breakfast. I’m seriously grossed out by these strips and I’m not even eating, so I can’t image how disgusted you’d feel coming across this kind of “humor” while actually consuming food/drinks.
ChowderMarch 27th, 2011 at 7:37 pm [Reply]
Marvin might almost have a joke (a predictable Marvin joke, but a joke nonetheless) if not for the fact that it gave away the punchline in the second panel.

If they fed Marvin kibble, the dog would love smelling the diaper pail.

I believe this is the first “Marvin” strip to openly encourage its readers to try jenkem.
