Death Takes a Holiday

and appears in the Monday comics.

Frank and Ernest brings us a painful pun (as if there are any other kinds):

B.C. is improving under the new artist, who signs as Mason:

Off the Mark has fun with cartoon conventions:

Finally, thanks to a glitch in my Comics page at Chron.com I saw this disturbing image on 4 of my comics pages:

It is Edda's mouth that bothers me.

Party? Are You Serious?

A little Mary Worth avatar fun featuring Vera Shields:

Bob Thaves has died but his son can write a good gag. Maybe Frank and Ernest will not become a zombie strip, a mere shell of a once good comic strip haunting newspapers around the world.

So many ways to add to Vera's line in the second panel.

Party? Are you serious? I can't rest on my laurels, I have to get that next promotion!

Party? Are you serious? You expect me to stoop to attending a party with you Santa Royale hoi polloi?! I may not live in Pacific Hills any longer but that does not mean I have to socialize with the likes of you!

Party? Are you serious? Geriatrics in bathing suits, ewwww!

Party? Are you serious? Is that creepy Professor Cameron going to be there?

Party? Are you serious? Look, Mary I'm grateful for your help but I really find parties quite draining. I prefer one on one or very small group socializing. Large parties make me really uncomfortable.

Party? Are you serious? A large typhoon is expected to reach landfall this weekend. Shouldn't we evacuate?

Party? Are you serious? You want me to come to the party even though I acted a bit brusque at the last pool party?

Party? Are you serious? No, Vera, I'm being silly. I'm going to kill you and make a casserole out of your still beating heart.

Now the interactive portion. Add your own line in the comments.

Another free icon for your use. Ella Byrd, next Dalai Lama or drug dealer? You decide. This icon would have more meaning if your name is Mary.

Only your higher truth REALLY knows what's best for you! Ella needs to switch to decaf. The use of exclamation points indicates she is too excited for sitting around and drinking coffee. Her old lady heart may stop.

IRONY!?! Where the hell is the irony?! My brain is a bit fogged by a virus. Somebody show me the irony. Oog has invented third degree burns not irony. Is this Alanis Morrisette irony? I hope not because I don't like that song. Ironic or not, I don't like that song one bit.

It's not just Ruthie, the whole family is retarded or Dad is into making puns at inappropriate times.



Harriet could benefit from freaky, creepy Hollywood plastic surgery because of her one pointy tit and three eyes.

If that is a marker she is holding in hand then this comic has reached another level of weird. She drew the the picture on the mirror, converses with it and doesn't cast a reflection. No wonder the orange cat/lump/alien is cross-eyed. Harriet is bat-shit insane.

Maybe I need to be turned toward my own higher truth! Only my higher truth REALLY knows what's best for me! Now, I just need to find a dealer.
