Comics Should Be Good has a list of goofy moments from the first ten issues of Marvel Comics’ Fantastic Four. Personally, I like this line: “You are worthy of me, female! In every way!” :)

This is fascinating. It’s just Jon talking to a cat that never answers. They should run Garfield like this for a year and see what happens. :)

Pearls Before Swine, today. :)

Never saw these particular comics, but apparently Marvel decided that the Seventies were a good time to release a new character based in the Fifties: 3-D Man. 3-D Man employed the Mysterious Powers of the Third Dimension to…Okay, there aren’t any really mysterious powers in the Third Dimension.

“Man, I don’t whistle past graveyards! I sit down, eat my lunch, insult a few birds, and take a nap!” - Bucky Katt from Get Fuzzy
