Oh, yeah…NSFW, I suppose.
Yay! Star Wars!

One of the gripes aimed at “legacy” comic strips (or just ones that go on and on and on for years) is the repeated use of a figure, or figures, or whole panels by the cartoonist — yes, the dreaded “cut and paste.”
That’s very true (and it’s the only way I do my mashups — then again, I don’t get PAID for this). But I think sometimes we focus too much on the visual repetition and too little on the sterling dialog:
Remember: Without constant vigilance, it can happen here!
I thought I was all inspired with a Mark Trail/Mary Worth mashup…and I just seized up. I think the cold weather (17 F as the low — in TUCSON! — the past two mornings) have frostbitten my snark.
Feel free to have at this. Maybe I’ll choose a few good ‘uns and insert them — we can be the new Moy and Giella/Nolan and Wilson/Batiuik and Johnston of the snark pages!
Great Googly Moogly! Folks have stepped up to the challenge! Faithful reader (yay!) Rimpy has a rather horror genre feel to it:
Ned Ryerson offers one that even Tobey Cameron can puzzle out:
Red Greenback always knows what to say. Too bad Mary doesn’t (not that it stops her, mind you):
And Écureuil Écumant’s offering harkens back to a Sunday Mark Trail, in which Mark extols the economic and commercial value of ganja hemp:
Really, I don’t know what to expect from HAMMY THE SQUIRREL!, but I have to admit that this doesn’t surprise me (and it makes me laugh, too):
THANKS to all the folks who helped Mark, Mary and Jeff have their say!
When close to a traced copy of a May 2010 panel is used for a February 2011 “joke,” Comics Curminions (like CC’s own Cooler King) take note. And then make uncanny links:
And it’s almost not the cartoonists’ fault!
Anyone who might be familiar with CC’s True Fable, Master of Ninja Goats and Aficionado of All Things Caprine, coulda told you this:
Somewhere outside of Hoboken, Lu Ann is being courted by piano mover carpenter Paul; he’s even thrown in a run-down piece of property to sweeten the deal! I don’t know about Lu Ann, but Mike and Jeff, the gents who do Jumble are pretty impressed, it seems.
