A Dimension of Weekends and Funnies

Before we get to some recent comics let’s take a peek at some future funnies.

Jumble has posted their preview of this year’s 12th annual Guest Jumbler Week. I see Bob Weber, Jr. and/or Scott Underwood, Luca Debus, Georgia Dunn, and Todd Clark but I am at a loss with those top two corners. Anyone?

Reading through another week of Frank and Ernest and I’m still of the mind that a new cartoonist has recently been brought in to draw the panel.

With Saturday’s The Born Loser I could only think how cool it would have been for it to be a poster of a “Chris Welkin” or “Planeteer” movie rather than Space Patrol.

The Born Loser creator Art Sansom had drawn Chris Welkin until just a month before The Born Loser appeared.

More outer space.

To be perfectly honest I could do with out the script and just enjoy Jim Scancarelli‘s out of this world art. The current Gasoline Alley story started, more or less, here.

More art I like.

This Insanity Streak strip from Tony Lopes hit a nerve. Something about the layout, art, lettering, and special effects just stood out to me as a great way to do comic stripping.

I just can’t help thinking throughout this entire current Luann drama, that started a month and a half ago, that if it had taken place ten years ago it would have been Tiffany in the Stef role. Shouldn’t Tiff be showing some affinity or empathy with Stef?

A question for Wiley.

Why, in the middle of the week, did the signature and email and all the Non Sequitur copyright and syndicate notices get miniaturized?

Barney & Clyde informs those not in the know why the Sunday page following the election does not contain any pertinent gags about it in an entertaining, humorous and fourth wall breaking way with a final panel tweak.

“…another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind.”

More wonderful eye-catching comic strip art from Pooch Cafe and Paul Gilligan.

I realize that it is tomorrow that is Veterans Day but still surprised there was nothing today.

  1. The answer is pretty simple, D.D.. I wanted to give more room for the art, figuring no one would really notice or care about the signature, copyright, etc. anyway. I guess you proved me wrong on that.
