A new comic.

Yes, indeed, a new comic has appeared on GoComics.  It's called Bewly.  It's about a family of bluebirds, who seem to live in a house with all the modern comforts and conveniences, including laptops:

Also including bouncing balls.  I can be fairly sure that the nerdy kid was the one who had the idea for the experiment, because that's what nerdy kids do.  It's disappointing that he didn't actually measure the exact height that the ball and the laptop (and pieces) bounced.  There's no reason to conduct that type of experiment and only take approximate measurements.  He'll have to do the experiment over when his dad gets a new laptop.

Sushi

The Argyle Sweater:

I've never really tasted goldfish before, so this might be an interesting place to go.  It would be cool to go to the place and see what you'll be eating in a couple days swimming in a tank.  I have two questions, though: what will Fred do with the aquariums, and what are "mini sushi?" I thought all sushi was pretty small...

 

Calculators

Get Fuzzy:

I've been disliking Get Fuzzy more and more, because Bucky keeps getting more and more annoying.  First of all, he's just stupid, and he thinks he's smart, and second of all, he hates everything and is always mean to everyone.  I realize he's not supposed to be a likeable character, but seriously, he used to be kind of cool.

Today, however, I was amused by Bucky and his contingency calculator.  Unfortunately, the last panel ruined it for me.  You know, there is such a thing as talking too much.

French

Citizen Dog:

This is certainly very brave of Mr. O'Hare, to have a strip be entirely in French, when the strip is, of course, usually in English.  Even though I took two years of French in high school, I don't really remember much of it, so I don't really understand much of what the characters are saying.  I still get the joke at the end, though, that Americans don't really have much of a cuisine.  I've been thinking about that for a while.  When people think of Italian food, French food, Mexican food, or German food, there are certain things that come to mind.  What, then, is American food?  All of the ones I can think of have some type of foreign origin, even macaroni and cheese.  Maybe...  steak.  Yeah.  A big hunk of cow meat.  That's American, right?

Maybe.

Rocks

Calvin and Hobbes:

Today on GoComics' classic Calvin and Hobbes page, this strip showed up.  I never really understood what happened in the third panel.  What does the rock hit, and what exactly sends it back to hit Calvin?  Does it hit a person, and the person throws it back?  Does it hit a wall or something, and it ricochets back to hit Calvin?  We may never know...

! or?

The Fusco Brothers:



I wonder if he likes exclamation marks or question marks better...

Haunted Disappointment

Lio:



I'm with Lio. Why are all the "scary" things so happy looking? Happy to scare you, perhaps, but while they're scaring you, they ought to try to look more... scary, you know?

Alligator Basketball

In The Bleachers:



It is fairly certain that the alligator kid's dad could beat up the human kid's dad, as well as tear him to shreds. I just wonder exactly how good alligators are at basketball. The human kid could definitely beat the alligator kid.

Coolness takes too much work.

Pearls Before Swine:



Pearls has been doing a thing for the past couple days or so about Rat being behind the "Cool Fence" and Pig being behind the "Uncool Fence." I just have one thing to say about the Cool Fence: It's a lot higher, and it seems that Rat would need to climb a ladder to get to whatever he's sitting on, or he's on one of those chairs that has a ladder on the side of it that he climbs up, or something. It's very obvious that staying on the ground and being behind the Uncool Fence is a lot easier to do. Therefore, I choose to be Uncool.

Why the crap is the Cool fence so much higher than the Uncool fence anyway?

Bagpipes are always good.

Classic Foxtrot:



GoComics has been running classic FoxTrot strips lately dealing with the Fox family's reaction to Dilbert. This was obviously back when Dilbert was first becoming a phenomenon. They assert that it's all about demographics, really, and the cubicle dwelling demographic was underserved in the comics. Also implied is the fact that bagpipe players and Scottish people in general are underserved as well. Well, cul de sac has done some Scottish stuff before, but on the whole they're right. Where's my Scotch cartoon?

Tattoos

Loose Parts:



Those of us who actually read Chinese and understand it are often amused by people who get Chinese tattoos and have no idea what they mean, or the character is backwards, or it means absolutely nothing at all and the tattooist just made it up. For all they know, it might say "Prime Rib Here."
