I admit it. I like to read the comics online every morning. There are better habits to keep, I know. Today I felt like sharing two even though they don't get it 100%, it's close enough.
In case you're like me and didn't get the Chuck Palahniuk reference (don't you just love Frazz?) here's some more info. I'm guessing Jef Mallet (Frazz author) is reffering to the "hidden gun" in many of Palahniuk's books.
Yes, one reason I love Frazz is I'm always learning new things. I did read one book by an author that he mentioned, but after reading about Chuck Palahniuk I'm not tempted. I recommend reading the Wikipedia article ("more info") but skipping the official website. I guess it's not surprising that a guy with a disturbing childhood and possibly an even more disturbing adulthood should write disturbing stories.
Here's one sentence I find especially strange: "Palahniuk has mentioned at book readings that he is working on a musical based on Fight Club." "Fight Club: The Musical!"? Followed by, what, the Quentin Tarantino Song Cycle? The Rocky Monologues? Alien vs. Predator: the Improv Sketches?
I tend to read comics not every day, but all in a lump, about a month's worth at a time. Most of my favorites are at comics.com; in particular I think you'd like Over The Hedge. Yes, it was a movie recently, but it was a comic strip for a long time before that (I first discovered it in Eastman). It's often reminiscent of Pogo. And the most consistently funny one for my money is Monty.
Aha! Another RJ and Verne fan. Does anybody know where I can get a copy of Verne's 2nd grade report card?
