Preteena: Let's talk more about this later!

This is a very effective tonal shift.

Get Fuzzy: pwned

I'm not entirely convinced that Bucky knows how to use the Internet, but assuming he does, this past week of comics strongly suggests that he spends a great deal of time chatting on 4chan. Which would make a whole lot of sense, actually.

Family Circus: Mommy helping Daddy get ready for church.

This cartoon is hilarious because little Billy's parents are constantly fighting and, in general, awful human beings.

Shoe: Coach? Who bats after Skyler.

This comic is hilarious because Skyler's coach is pointlessly cruel.

Mutts: I bark therefore I am.

Patrick McDonnell may have been going for something cuter here, but this installment of Mutts contains an almost indescribably sad subtext, suggesting as it does that the dog's only consistent companion is its own voice.

Born Loser: When I was kid, my dad would make me clean the fish we caught.

This comic is hilarious because Brutus thinks his son is an idiot because he doesn't intuitively understand that cleaning a fish involves slicing it open and ripping its guts out.

Close to Home: Your wife has "Irritable Yowl Syndrome," Mr. Cromwell.

This cartoon is hilarious because women are shrews.

Baby Blues: This is going to be the best show and tell ever!

I never would have thought to apply the standard Keane family perversions to Baby Blues, but I'm starting to get concerned.

I suppose it's nice that Hammie's proud of his mother's naked body?

Garfield: It's a lasagna-shaped cake!

Help me out here. With the exception of the round ones, aren't all cakes lasagna-shaped?

Family Circus: Daddy on the golf course shooting out of the rough.

This comic is hilarious because Bill is teaching little Billy how to be an ethical human being.
