Supremely Supreme & Universal

Because today’s strip is about comical books, Mr. Oddnoc has enlisted perennial sophomores Owen and Cody to do the daily commentary. They will provide the puerile perspective and gravitas that Batominc bloviating about comic books warrants.

Cody: That guy’s bald.

Owen: He has a cool goatee.

Cody: I wonder if John knows that guy. You know, if we ever get out of high school, do you think we—

Owen: —could be professional komix kollektors‽

Cody: No, yell at dumb women who know nothing of comics!

Batominc Lawyer (off stage): Cease! I say cease, son! Listen to me when I’m talking to you! Desist!

Oddnoc (off stage): Don’t forget to mention the giant mo‘ai profile in panel 2!

Daddy Starbucks

Jeeves! What is this awful creature you’ve let in? It looks like an orangutan in drag. Oh dear me, it speaks! How dreadful!

So we finally meet Mr. Hagglemore in today’s strip and sure enough, he’s every bit the perception the 99.5% have of the .5% you could imagine. All that’s lacking is a white cat for him to stroke.

I wonder what he did to earn the Golden Popeye Award shown in Panel 3?

Good Golly Miss Holly

Pop quiz, comic book hot-shot! There’s a deranged woman with a original splash page of Mister Sponge standing at your gate and she’s threatening to slice it up! What do you do? What do you do?

Open the gate and let her in. I mean, sure she’s obviously deranged and has a large pair of scissors, but she probably doesn’t have a gun in that satchel, right?

Hagglemore Manor

Wow, for a comic that can take a week to show a character opening a letter in a mailbox this week’s pacing is breakneck. After arriving at the mansion featured in “Eyes Wide Shut” in today’s strip, Holly braves a quick buzz of the intercom, which is really there just to alert the Dobermans that someone’s arrived and it’s time for a mid-day snack.

Where is she? I have no idea. New York? Back in Ohio? Paris? Who knows? We may ever find out if this arc is just dropped again like Les’s “The cleaning ladies have some ideas for my script.” arc.

Serious Monet

I don’t recall Pete looking like an impressionist work of abstract art but he certainly has some strange proportions in today’s strip as he hands her something that looks like chimpanzee cranked out in 5 minutes.

Maybe I should give Pete a break, since he’s a WRITER and not an artist, or is he suddenly an artist now? I think the blobby mess he just handed her indicates at least someone needs more art school.

Well, while we’re comic art geeking out, might as well share The 40 Worst Rob Leifeld Drawings for at least some laughs.
