Luann: Ah. And judging from the grass on your back, I'd say the patient is feeling better.

This comic is hilarious because Toni and Brad have been fucking in the grass, and they want Brad's lecherous friend TJ to know all about it.

Family Circus: We're takin' Barfy to the V...E...T.

This cartoon is hilarious because the Keanes are taking Barfy to the vet.

Get Fuzzy: That's heresay. Not admissible.

I know I say this a lot, but it really is the little things that make Get Fuzzy so good. It tickles me to no end that that Bucky thinks of "hearsay" as "heresay," suggesting that even his more cogent thoughts are peppered with nonsense.

Lola: It's nice knowing anyone I might have to save weighs less than my sandwich.

This comic is hilarious because Lola has a big sandwich.

Kathy. Ack: What actually goes on behind my face when I'm being fucked?

Cathy is not a very funny comic strip. The writing of Kathy Acker could, in contrast, be quite funny. But if you put the two of them together, as this brilliant person here does, the result is far funnier than either of them ever were on their own.

Luann: It's not the crepes I wanted.

This comic is hilarious because it's his penis she wanted.

Hi and Lois, Betty and Daddy's Home: I'm a kid of Camp Runamucca...

In case you haven't been paying attention, every child in the comics section has been sent off to summer camp, where they are participating in such traditional tropes as:

• Going to a camp with a ridiculous name.
• Having enormous counselors make them do stuff they don't want to do.
• Singing stupid songs.
• Not understanding old-fashioned games because their minds have been poisoned by teh modern technology.

Baby Blues: The tolerance of pain is in direct proportion to the proximity of the mom.

I like this comic better than when it was a Family Circus cartoon. Part of it is that Baby Blues has moderately better characters. A bigger part of it is that Baby Blues has more space to work with, which allows it to set up the joke in a clearer way. And most of it is that Jeffy's line feels false, whereas Hammie's reactions seem more true to life.

Barney Google and Snuffy Smith: Ladies, gitta oad of Mister Dreamy, th' new choir director!!

This comic is hilarious because the women of Hootin' Holler are apparently attracted to men who have a butt where their chin should be.* Whether Mister Dreamy has a chin where his butt should be is left to our imagination.

*I am not surprised by this.

Family Circus: The only time a 'gator craves fast food is when he sees a cheetah.

The Tao of Billy Keane is the taoiest tao of them all.
