Comic 913: Cockroach genocide

Alt-text: If you're a geologist or geophysicist and you don't introduce yourself by saying your name, then gesturing downward and saying "... and I study that", I don't know what you're doing with your life.

This comic contains mediocre artwork (how difficult is it to connect a head to a stick body?) and a bunch of mediocre jokes ham-fistedly jammed together. The last two lines are pretty much unnecessary, although removing them only marginally improves things.

More disturbing is Megan-o'-the-milky-nipples' role in all of this - her reactions seem highly unlikely given the creepy, stalkerish vibe, and the whole thing seems to suggest Randall is in dreamland again, wiling away his time thinking of his hot porn-star daughter and his lactating wife.

At least he didn't mention Wikipedia.

  2. You may want to double-check that your commentary is intended for the strip it's accompanying.

  3. No, the head is definitely not connected to the body. I stand by that this is a review.

  4. And anyway, I can't think of any other comic it could be accompanying.

  5. I was thinking more of your references to Megan (so when there's just a single, featureless "character," it's Megan? that may well be true, I just wasn't aware) and lines (no lines of dialog in this, unless you mean the caption and alt-text). But yeah, the head doesn't make contact with the body, and it takes a moment to discover that the rectangle beneath the head is meant to be a book.

  6. Woot! The review may not make much sense in the context of this comic, but at least Kittens didn't make with the annoying catchphrase :)
