But why should that reduce The Comics Curmudgeon to a "quivering, urine-soaked lump of fear"?

In the Washington Post, Petula Dvorak describes the jobs of social workers in the nationâs capital:
As guardians watching over thousands of the city's imperiled children each year, social workers confront armed drug dealers, push past stoned parents, shrug off cockroaches, sit on urine-soaked…
Winter break is the time to complete all of those annoying chores you've been putting off during the term. For example, yesterday my car passed its inspection. Woo hoo!
And today, Isaac and Emily passed their inspection. By which I mean the vet found that they're in good health (though Isaac,…
The Comics Curmudgeon and others note the death of Johnny Hart, arguably the best known religious wing nut from Broome County, New York, where I grew up. (Sadly, this is not a set of one, as the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue also traces its origins to the Binghamton area.) Hart was the…
The Digital Cuttlefish looks at the Archie comics, and waxes poetic:
Two paths play out in a comic book,
When Archie walks down memory lane
"The road not taken" is the hook;
So now, the writers take a look
And re-write Archie's life again,
This time with Betty as his bride;
Veronica the woman…
Squid are cute. Tasty too!
Perhaps the Comics Curmudgeon would find courage if he was wearing a WELCOME SQUID OVERLORDS t-shirt :)
Victorian squid are a delight for all the family.
My two absolute favourite blogs come together! I am leaping out of the sea and jetting ink about in delight!
If only there was some way of having some sort of weekly feature, say on a Friday, that was devoted to Cephalopods in some way, and this week it featured some insightful commentary about the Mark Trail portrayal of squid. That would be awesome beyond words.
Well, according to one exam I just graded squids have "an exoskeleton and an internal and external shell", so it might hurt when they fall on you after leaping from the water.
All that and they can still fly! The Spruce Goose is green with envy!
But is it flying, or flying-squirrel-like gliding, or more like Buzz Lightyear's falling with style?
ben, I hope you cleaned up after yourself...
Mark trail is an idiot. Never mind that he calls SCUBA gear an "Oxygen tank", but when he discovers an criminal scheme with enough evidence to convict, not only does he not tell the insurance co., he doesn't tell the police either. No, he sets a great example by going after the bad guy and tells no one. Maybe I'm the idiot for even knowing this. If it weren't for "In the Bleachers" I wouldn't even open the "sports" section.
When did Angela Lansbury start playing Mary Worth?
