Monty: I was dreaming I was in Australia...

This comic is hilarious because it's virtually the same as this Family Circus cartoon. Minus the physical abuse, of course.

F Minus: I'll catch up with you guys later. I have to go try to convince some good kids to smoke.

I really like comics that unpack our society's oversimplified myths. This is not how peer pressure actually works, but you wouldn't really know that by the way people talk about it.

Family Circus: ...sounds like it's snowin'!

As someone who lives in a place where it often snows, I am well qualified to tell you that it is not, in fact, quiet during snowstorms, if for no other reason than the noticeably unquiet sound of plows passing by every 15 minutes or so.

Ergo, Jeffy remains a fucking idiot.

Luann: No. Well, yes.

This comic is hilarious because women are stupid and have difficulty making good decisions for themselves.

Cleats: I hope that's melted snow.

Ha ha! Urine!

Mallard Fillmore: Dear Larry, Thanks for the heads-up, but I checked with snopes.com...

The brilliance of Mallard Fillmore is that it's basically a combination of lame chain email jokes, crazy right-wing chain email paranoia, and pictures of a duck that talks. It's not hard to see why it's so popular.

Family Circus: You sure have a lot of cute pictures of us, Grandma.

This cartoon is hilarious because Dolly thinks she and her siblings are cute when they are in fact terrifying Hell-beasts.

Agnes: I think that when people criticize my dancing, they are actually just jealous of my gifted feet.

Since I've mentioned a couple times that cartoonists often seem to avoid drawing feet, here's an alternative solution to the difficulty: draw feet that intentionally and comically look nothing like actual feet. Tony Cochran pretty much nails it.

The Oatmeal: How Twilight Works

The whole thing won't fit on this here blog, but this brief analysis of Twilight is the best comic you're going to read all day.

Hat tip to friend of the Twitter Knittaplease.

Flying McCoys: The world will end tomorrow!

I've run out of things to say about comics that use mother-in-law jokes, but they really need to be shamed, so here's The Flying McCoys being awful, as is its wont.
