Mid-Week Funnies Part Two

Princess Bride Adapted to Comic Strips

It seems that every scene of The Princess Bride will eventually find its way into Dan Schkade’s Flash Gordon. From earlier this year:

And now insects of unusual size.

Shrinkflation in the Comics

It wouldn’t surprise me to see the dozen carton of eggs reduced to ten with no reduction in price as seen in The Lockhorns. After all that pound of bacon is now down to 12 ounces for the same price.

By the way – Happy (belated) Birthday to Bunny!

Synchronization

I don’t even have to try to remember what other comic strip had the same topic earlier in my scrolling when they follow one after the other as Prickly City and Rabbits Against Magic did Tuesday.

Or as Drabble and The Duplex did Monday.

A Rite of Passage

I think every girl-child does what Maricela did in yesterday’s Rosebuds. Boy-children do it too, but who cares?

“Moo Cow” was a natural utterance when I was driving with little ones in the car and we past a pasture. Unlike the Off the Mark character I never gave a thought about saying it when the tykes were not there.

Just as every cartoonist has to appropriate a Charles M. Schulz situation at least once in their career so to, it seems that Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks finds its way into comic strips, panels, and books. See: Gil Thorp.

Speaking of classics Scott Stantis puts a children’s classic in Prickly City to good use.

  1. Maybe those eggs were imported from Germany, where they are packaged in cartons of ten? Whenever I visit the US, the egg cartons there seem far too long.

  2. “moo cow” in a normal volume as conversation with the kids to help them notice the animals…., or rolling down the window and yelling “MOOO” to see if you could get the cattle to raise their heads and wonder what was going on with that idiot over there?

    The second one was me. I think I stopped not because I got old, but because I don’t really drive near pastures any longer.

    1. I would be the first case. Raised around various breeds of farm animals I would just as soon they ignored me and my actions in most cases.
