Where’s Kells?

@Butt sweat and tears

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

someone needs to do their research, because Cloudy with a Chance of Goat Balls wasnt nominated for the Oscar

It’s cool that Flint is standing up for Brendan in Lio’s cartoon!

Nick,

Mark Tatulli explains over at GoComics that he drew the Lio strip before the nominees were even announced, so he had to take a guess. You’ll note that the guy from “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” is there, even though the film wasn’t nominated.

Ah, the perils of comic strip deadlines.

These are all great. Especially Lio.
I knew that today’s Lio strip was going to be on here from the start.

The only one I don’t get is the guy ordering “Chilli con Carne Sarn it”? What is that a reference to?

Charles – That’s exactly what I thought. After all, not every strip can work with short deadlines like Candorville. Mark Tatulli’s design was great.

Also, I loved how Rapunzel has a cigarette and a dour look in that last strip.

I’m not big on the drawing itself, but I dig the concept of Lio’s comic. The Alice in Wonderland and Rapunzel comics are pretty funny, also. Not big on the gags but the second and third are very well-drawn.

@Ron: It’s a phonetic pun of Yosemite Sam’s mock-cussing.

Chili con… “carn sarn it!” (in Yosemite Sam’s voice).

Although if you’re pronouncing “carne” correctly (CAR-nay), the joke doesn’t work as well. It took me a second to make sense of it too.

I always thought Yosemite Sam said “CONsarn it”.

I’ve never seen that Reality Check strip before, but I like its visual style. It kind of reminds me of old NFB shorts.

Shouldn’t that last one read: “For cryin’ out loud, Tangled!”

I thought from the ‘Alice’ movie posters that they had finally found a way to make Johnny Depp unattractive, but after seeing the film I see that I was wrong. He is still amazingly attractive but in a weird way, I totally fell in love with the hatter watching the film today. *sigh* :)

I think maybe you should use quotes around the word “Funnies”. This kind of humor is right up there with those “comedy raps” you see on YouTube.

I know this has become a regular feature now, but none of these strips are ever ever funny and the whole thing is starting to make me hate drawings.

My favorite one was The Mad Hatter changing his face to look more like Johnny Depp. That was kinda clever.

The Lio and the Butt Sweat n Tears ones were the best!
