Snark It Up, FuzzBall!

Rex Morgan has been very uneven recently — a potentially exciting Rex ‘n’ Niki adventure constantly interrupted by a single mom ‘n’ rebellious teen story.  It could only be worse if we were subjected to the occasional “What are Berna and Dex doing with their wads o’ cash” tale, but then, that’s what’s been going on in Judge Parker.

Still, there’s a little adolescent humor to be gained with a bit of work (the first is a reworking…):

And where there’s Rex and fishing, can Niki be far behind (heh)?

…I almost forgot!

Probably just a throw-away panel to the original cartoonist, but SNARK GOLD to mashup folks like me!

Who knew it could be such an easy solution…

…for whiny kids…

…and whiny adults…

Hey! We weren’t the only ones who’ve been wondering!

Maybe it’s not really any more funny (assuming it was funny to start with), but at least it might be more surreal (yes, Zits’ Jeremy text-messaging his mom to shave his butt in a badly-spelled manner was the joke in the 15 September panel):

Then again, maybe it takes a Comics Curmudgeoner (thanks, Sequitur!) and a  musical version:

…some people are just never going to get it.

…when Margo discovers you’re engaged, Lu Ann.
