Candorville: What?

Candorville is probably the best political strip around this side of Doonesbury. And it's because of really solid character work like this.

Of course, Doonesbury has built up an entire world, while Candorville has about three good characters to work with. But that means it has about three more good characters than do all of the other political comics combined.

Prickly City: Why can't secularists talk to people of faith without sinking to name calling?

The best thing about Prickly City is the way it's not hypocritical at all.

Pickles: I used to be good at jump rope.

This comic is hilarious because Opal is old and fat and can't do anything anymore and should probably just do the decent thing and go off to quietly die somewhere.

Family Circus: I'll take that. It's our first-aid equipment!

So Bill appears to be wearing a diaper.

Considering the intensity of his immaturity, I am not surprised by this.

Beetle Bailey: I should have known what you would put in a small box.

So Killer apparently has an eyepatch fetish.

I am not surprised by this.

Wizard of Id: SMAK!

This cartoon is hilarious because it turns out that Rodney almost certainly is fucking his horse.

Family Circus: Which is this, Daddy--a woods, a forest or a jungle?

Yet another pearl of wisdom dropped from the mouth of one Billy Keane. Though these words are often used as synonyms, they each have specific, slightly differentiated definitions. They, like people, are different, but the same.

The cartoon is hilarious, meanwhile, because there's no way in hell the rest of Billy's idiot family understands his point, and this scene was no doubt followed by Thel turning around and slapping him across the face.

The Grizzwells: The one on the right is Spanky.

I can't be sure, obviously, but I'm guessing the first draft of this comic strip was much less family friendly.

Luann: Well?

All the fine folks who stumble upon this blog while searching for Luann porn should be thrilled with this post.

Blondie: Listen, guys, for the record, I know that it's been exactly 10 days since I've been on time.

This comic is hilarious because Dagwood is a wildly inconsiderate douchebag.
