Snark It Up, FuzzBall!

The photo comes from my buddy queek, source of Cuteness, Kawaii Commando (who else?), over at the Comics Curmudgeon.

…that I never mashup “Momma.”  I think this is it.

With the new creative team working on Dick Tracy, interesting, vintage characters are being called into service! Plots have more than a hint of logic and excitement! Artistry has improved immensely (even if some guys look like walking scrotums)!

And then there’s 9 Chickweed Lane, where the characters are…

and the plots are…

and the logic is…

and the artwork is nice!

The Comics Curmudgeon’s very own queek, source of Cuteness, Kawaii Commando (whew!) asked me to post this for him.  He think the joke has gotten stale — cripes,  it comes from Rex Morgan, M.D. and Love is…!  Is there the remotest possibility that it ever was fresh?!?

I think Mark may still have some of that allergy medication in his system, but he knows what he knows!

…and who better to promote your purchasing of many, many sub-zero delights?

For the past three months weeks, the story-arc of 9 Chickweed Lane has bored us to death with dealt with Big Ol’ Gay Seth doing the tango with Argentine Homophobe Fernanda. Very sexy, I think.

Well, it was the first week.

Maybe not so much the second.

Aaaaand, we’re looking for the exits by the third.

Anyway, CC’s queek, source of Cuteness, Kawaii Commando, posted a set of bouncy kitten photos and suggested that they were the lolcat version of the story.  And dang, if he wasn’t right (well, the dialog has been fudged a bit, but most of it does come from the Tango Sleazo story,  The Cartoonist regularly refers to his critics with the “B” word, and I can see Solange doing a much better job of the whole thing)…

(Oh, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE dese kitties!)

I rarely mash anything with Dick Tracy (probably because I don’t read Dick Tracy on a regular basis).  As the current writer and artist step down into well-earned retirement, it seems some of their creations have “abandoned ship,” so to speak, to other strips.

And it doesn’t stop with Mark Trail!  Over in Santa Royale, Dawn Weston’s mirror (and/or mind) is playing tricks with her…looking in the mirror shows nothing like a vague reflection — I mean, the cartoonist used to at least pretend to render a reasonable reflected image.

Oh, I said “reasonable.”  Dopey me!  Carry on.

Yeah, Dennis, it’s downhill from birth…
