Marmaduke: Ever notice how he can dream without sleeping.

Two things:

1. Humans can do this, too. It's called daydreaming. There is nothing unique or interesting or, least of all, funny about it.

2. What the hell is Marmaduke doing in a store?

Family Circus: If airliners took off like that, they wouldn't need runways.

This cartoon is hilarious because if airplanes were space shuttles, they would take off like space shuttles, not airplanes.

And also because the Keanes apparently own a flat-screen black and white television.

Close to Home: Good. His wallet seems to be very full. Send him through to pre-op.

Golly, and now a joke about how health care is expensive.

Close to Home sure has been showing off some impressive originality lately.

Dennis the Menace: Sure is a nice day to inivte your neighbor over for a barbecue.

This cartoon is hilarious because Dennis wants to eat Mr. Wilson's food.

Adam@Home: I coulda been a ringmaster. I look great in a top hat.

I think we all know why Adam bought that authentic replica ringmaster costume, and Laura will soon enough. If they're really creative, maybe they'll find a way to incorporate the glow stick and the pony, too.

I think I'm beginning to regret writing this post, actually.

Family Circus: Did you hurt yourself?

This cartoon is hilarious because Jeffy is an enormous crybaby.

Adam@Home: I wanna see that motorcycle guy who drives in the sphere of death.

The "motorcycle guys in the sphere of death" is easily the best circus act ever. I am being completely serious. It is awesome.

At least it was when I was nine.

Pluggers: Your dad must still be on the computer.

[Insert porn joke here.]

Family Circus: They don't bite or sting. They just flutter.

This cartoon is hilarious because Dolly likes butterflies.

Shoe: How is it that people always die in alphabetical order?

I've been operating under the impression that Skylar is a wiseass. This comic, however, seems to suggest that he's just stupid.
