Actually, Jeremy pulled the “why are you picking on me?” in another earlier strip, when Walt was confronting him on him not taking good phone messages for them. Sitll funny.

And, for the record, I don’t understand how that Kick Ass kid is supposed to look any different from the guy in the movie at all. Because he doesn’t. He looks like a kid in a green suit. ‘S all I’m saying.

Re: Kick Ass

Interesting movie, although I think “Hit Girl” makes the whole thing. Weird mix of comic-book seriousness and silliness.

Is Kick Ass supposed to look so much like “Ambush Bug”?

I’m surprised there was a cat comic that Bill put in the LOL category instead of posting it as a CIDU.

Ray Brady—

As a tacky young person, I am familar with the phrase “love child,” but I just realized that I always only ever hear it in a context like the strip, never in the Cher sense. Something like, “he looks like the love child of Ryan Seacrest and a ventriloquist dummy.”

XKCD: People use laser pointers to play with cats. The cats chase the red dot and never catch it. If you don’t have a cat you may not know about that, and you probably have to know about it to understand what’s going on here.

Or Pacman, where the ghosts are called Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde.

mitch4 — I think it’s just there as a non sequitur. It reminds me of that cartoon 3-2-1 Penguins, in which the main characters are called Zidgel, Midgel, Fidgel, and Kevin.

I was quite amused by the Scott Hilbrun one when I first ran across it — but baffled by the final sub-panel. What’s the joke there? Maybe I should have sent it in but as a CIDU.

The Guy & Rodd comic is hilarious, but I have to complain about anachronisms. The soldiers are dressed up in 19th century garb, but they’re using medieval trebuchets. Then again, soldiers from either era didn’t use giant tennis rackets.

It’s funny how the suspension of disbelief works. It’s like people who watch “LOST” and complain that Hurley (the fat guy), never loses any weight on-island, but have no problem with the fact that a cloud of black smoke is one of the main characters.
