Oh the Humanity

Submitted for your consideration: I read the comics so you don't have to, a site where the author devles into the comedic wasteland that is the funny pages. Looking for some insight into Apartment 3-G? Look no further:
Who says Apartment 3-G is slow-moving and boring? Well, most people do, actually, but today’s strip is out to prove them wrong! Note the Sam Raimi-style camera swoop around Eldon and his nemesis over the course of these three panels as Mr. Eldon is subjected to FBI Pete’s brutal, post-Alberto Gonzales interrogation. At least I think that’s what’s happening. Maybe the last panel just got flipped over during the compositing process. But I like to give ‘em the benefit of the doubt. Though doing so means that we have to accept that this interrogation room has identical doors on opposite walls.

In yesterday’s strip, Eldon attempted to get Pete’s goat by implying that Margo was a high-priced whore. As if Pete would believe that! Oh, wait.

This site is brilliant. It covers the very dregs of the comics, the comics that make you scratch your head and say 'who the hell reads this shite?' or 'who finds this funny?' The unfunniest of the unfunny are there, from B.C. to Rex Morgan M.D..

Perhaps there will be some consideration of the mystery of the identity of The Wizard of Id.
