Friday comic of the week: Kennel Club Distaster

A joke about getting shot? Done!

I've often debated how much of my love for graphic art and comics i should parlay onto this particular soapbox, and pretty much these Friday strips are as far as i've decided to go. You'll have to notice, though, that they are all exclusively webcomics, and not print comics (with the exception of Diesel Sweeties, which, as of this summer, became both) because the funny pages in the newspaper.. well.. suck.

And it seems that other people have noticed: The funnies just aren't funny anymore. And it's kinda sad, but, utterly true. I saw a trade of Bill Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes on the counter at the comic shop this week, and it made me pine for the good old days where I would digest the entire comic page of the Grand Rapids press in a single five minute sitting every day - while eating that just-before-bed bowl of cereal on the laminate dinner table tablecloth. Those were certainly the days.

Speaking of whining, i suppose i should take a moment and introduce my fantasy football team!

(click on the pic to make it readable. That is, if you honestly care. It's ok if you don't.)

While they don't look terrible on paper, they scored a middling 7th highest score of a league of 12 this weekend, and sadly the guy i was facing happened to be high scorer #5, and defeated Team Sobchak Security (we have a sponsor!) 123 to 114.5. I had a chance for hope with Larry Fitzgerald playing on Monday night, needing him to have at least a decent game for me to pull out a last-second-victory, but it was not to be. Poo.

Comments and prognostication appreciated equally. Happy weekend everyone!
