El Día de los Muertos

Cidu Bill on Nov 19th 2009

Three people sent in this trio: Elyrest (”I know that the Grim Reaper/Death is used in comics all the time, but a triple whammy today made me stop and think. Are Rubes, Reality Check and Strange Brew trying to tell me something?”), Laurie Wylie (”I checked the calendar to make sure there wasn’t some new holiday I hadn’t heard of…”), and Nicole.

The final one is a CIDU.

Two Wrights

Cidu Bill on Nov 17th 2009

Carl Fink: So, the joke here is that … two guys dressed in bad period Wright Brothers costumes, wearing goggles indoors and next to a very silly scale model of a biplane from a period long after the Wright Flyer (Notice the wheels, front prop and modern tail), are confronting some business people behind a table? With a Wright Brothers poster behind them?Is this supposed to be a movie pitch? And would that make the blue-suit guy’s line funny?

RLO OR NT?

What do you say… acceptable for a newspaper comics page? Has the acronym transcended what it originally stood for?

LOL- August 28

Cidu Bill on Aug 27th 2009

No Ewww Files this week, but a whole lot of LOLs; so we’ll have a Friday LOL page this weekend as well as the usual Monday LOL page.

(of course this would have worked out somewhat better if I’d set the page to go online Friday morning rather than Thursday morning…)

Going Digital

Cidu Bill on Apr 21st 2009

For the sake of argument, let’s assume he’s actually saying “April 22.”
 
The original date for the switchover to digital television, by the way, was February 17: April 8 was never relevant.

Late February Arlo Round-Up

L.J.:

Jeff Renner: Arlo or Ewww? Is this strip supposed to be about the Mae West line, “… or are you just happy to see me,” or is there some other gag and the apparent reference inadvertent? Either way, it seems weird. Is Chubby Huggs, the brown cat, supposed to be gay?

Cops

Cidu Bill on Feb 19th 2009

Okay, not really a CIDU, but it got me wondering: Do parents actually let their kids get away with this sh-t? Mine learned early on that “Dad says no, so ask Mom” was unacceptable, and this seems to be true as well in every other family I know.

Hot

Michael Hughes: I could understand if they were trying to say that Matthew McConaughey was hot, but what’s with the flies and clothespins on the noses? So he’s smelly from working out… Is that a particularly well-known trait of McConaughey’s? Will putting his shirt on really make a difference? I’m confused.
