Always forget this stuff

I tend to forget that Women's Enews runs Nicole Hollander's comic strip Sylvia, which is obviously the only reason I'd mention their site. I'm certainly not reading any of their articles. Everyone knows this is a post-feminist, post-apocalyptic, Post Super Sugar Crisp world.

Always forget about Jump Start, too, and end up reading weeks at a time. Unlike Boondocks, I don't feel the need to warn people that it may not be for everyone. Curtis, which I'm not even linking, isn't for anyone. No clue why that abomination still exists. It must have fans, but gods help them if I ever meet any.

Good thing there's an official Dykes to Watch Out For site. Otherwise, I'd try to read it at PlanetOut, and end up finding Margaret Cho writing on fag haggery, and who wants to see that?

For a start, it's not comic strip related, and I'd almost managed a cohesive entry for once. . .

I also forget the Funny Paper column in Baltimore City Paper. They read the strips, so you don't have to!

9-11 IS STILL A JOKE DEP'T.: The wearying take-off-your-shoes-for-the-metal-detector routine pops up in both Wednesday's Beetle Bailey and Sunday's Blondie. Next time, just do another golf gag, fellas.

As with pretty much everything else, Sturgeon's Law most defintely applies to comic strips.

I really like Jumpstart (and you do know you can get comics directly in your inbox through comics.com and ucomics.com) right?

Jumpstart has that same serialized time passing sensibility that for better or for worse and baby blues have...I dig that. I like that my comics are getting older with me.

See, getting the strips by email would make too much sense.

Nice to see that Sylvia is archived at Ucomics, though. I was afraid I'd have to remember to visit every day.

No idea why Jumpstart doesn't get more love. Looks like the first collection is out of print. . .
