Comics I Don't Understand - a site trying to figure out the funny. Look here for responses to strips people didn't "get".
  • I would just like to add Morrison's "Seven Soldiers" 1....I bought every issue leading up to it (all 29) and the payoff (issue 1...I know the last issue is #1, see more confusing) so perplexed this monkey. Maybe I'll reread it for the 8th time.
  • ...oh, and I've already heard the "Well, Grant Morrison is smarter than you...of course you can't understand it."
  • Funny, I got both of the two strips that are shown for October.
  • Over at Newsarama, there's an interview with Morrison that kind of explains some of Seven Soldiers. I'm a big fan of Comics I Don't Understand. However, the owner doesn't updatea it regularly (and even when the owner puts a date for the next update, the update usually doesn't appear until a week later.).
  • Fusco Brothers should have their own section.
  • I started a blog about comics (blatant self-link) but haven't updated it in nearly a month and am ambivalent about whether to continue it. In the meantime, I reccommend The Comics Curmudgeon.
  • Do continue wendell, me likes it! Me plunder cookies!
  • Word on the street is that The Comics Curmudgeon is a monkey, but I don't think he's ever posted to admit it.
  • Ziggy had Garfield neutered? Now THAT'S funny!
  • Comic Curmudgeon is great! I've been having problems with the Superman For Tomorrow volumes I just finished. I think I need to reread them, because I can't figure out the backstory.
  • That website hurts my eyes. It is exactly the reason I made a greasemonkey script to replace Comic Sans with another font.
  • Of course I do understand the appropriateness of using a comic font on a site devoted to comics, but I still hate that damn font.
