Last year, nearly half the comics in the comics section featured New Year's Eve jokes about how hard it is to stay up until midnight. Only one of those comics features the same joke this New Year's Eve. That comic is The Family Circus.
Hi and Lois is easily the most interesting legacy strip, if only for its wide variety of tones. It usually settles for simple gags, but occasionally forays into more controversial territory (I can't find it now, but it has explicitly acknowledged global warming in a nonjokey way before) and at times into outright misery, as is the case today.
Kelly and her icky, womany vagina have so upset Mark that he is reduced to using contractions.
Oh good. Torture humor. My favorite.
This is why Jeffy prefers serial killing to so many other activities. His ability to murder people is never dependent upon the weather.
Garfield is the sort of comic that does so many things wrong that it's easy to forget the things it does right. Garfield Minus Garfield has sort of rectified that, but today's installment is the rare instance in which the titular character's presence actually makes the comic better and, in this case, sadder.
Not all comics contain jokes. Some comics are meant to impart some other sort of meaning besides humor. Sadly, I'm pretty sure this comic was meant to contain a joke.
Gasp! Requesting a glass of milk! My lands, that Dennis is just so rude!
