Woh! What is this thing?!
This is a social bar from the Dilbert team and our friends at Meebo. It is a cool little feature we've added to Dilbert to make sharing comic strips, Mashups and other content, a simple click of the mouse from any page.
Try it out – use the buttons to instantly send the next funny comic you read to your Facebook status or your Twitter feed. We’re adding even more ways to share soon, so check this space often!
@Clumpy:
Yeah, same as with Dilbert. I haven't read a decent strip for at least five years. It's a bit sad, since the strips seem only to be reused. There has hardly been a original idea for quite a long time.
I thank you for introducing me to PBS, and "Sgt. Piggy's" is one of the better comic strip books that I own. That said, PBS has had some pretty lazy punchlines for years (not that it's the only strip to do that, *cough*). Those dem crocodiles only have one punchline, and the hundred or so strips with them have been mostly retreads of the same joke.
Just read Drowlord's comments: "I don't like most comics strips. Sure, I've liked the occassional comic from many of the long-running series, but in general, I find most comics pretty dumb. Pearls Before Swine definitely falls into the "dumb and not funny" bucket by my reckoning."
Dude, you are spot on. I make a conscious effort to avoid reading most comics because they usually just make me upset. (See "Cathy"; "Beetle Bailey"; et al.)
I have the same thought every time I deviate from my reading standards: "Are you freaking kidding me? How the crap did this person get syndicated?"
1. PBS: That's about as funny as the stupid friend/relative who does the freakin Ricky Ricardo impression over and over.
2. I'm not a daily reader, but I do like Rita Mae. What did I miss? Are you no longer going to access the Internet? Or are you just foregoing posts? What's this whole leaving thing?
3. I hate the friggin numbered pages. I want all posts on one page so I can just scroll down. I hate having them broken up into pages. I want to see the sequence in one swoop.
Look at all this !$%*!$%* I have to go through registering just to put a comment! Definitely liked the old blog better.
Pearls Before Swine is always good, but the funniest comic yesterday was Bizarro (particularly if you believe beliefs are retarded, and I do believe that).
I never thought I'd here an asian say that, or at least I think they're asian..... say, are there any alligators or crocodiles or teetaliks or whatever in Asia?
That's not a real comic page ..... it's got a simple GIF pic that loads way too quickly, instead of some fancy but completely unnecessary (and painfully slow) flash thingy to display ... well, a simple pic
I don't like most comics strips. Sure, I've liked the occassional comic from many of the long-running series, but in general, I find most comics pretty dumb. Pearls Before Swine definitely falls into the "dumb and not funny" bucket by my reckoning.
The only comics I've consistently liked were Calvin & Hobbes, Dilbert, and Foxtrot. Of the three in syndication, Dilbert is the last man standing. I'll add Basic Instructions to that list, too. It's not syndicated, but I agree with you. It's great.
I like Dilbert better. There is no comparison. Math sucks. I never could count. That's why I had nine pregnancies in eleven years.
In high school I got D's in Alegbra and Geometry and A's and A 's in everything else. Good thing I married the ex-Marine. He counts all our money and gives me a dollar or so a day to spend all on myself.
I start training the new girl on Monday. Hope she catches on fast. She has two weeks (10 days) to learn all I know. PENIS. There. That would take me only a nano second. It's going to be sooooo hard to be a good girl and not a smart-ass when I am training her. I will want to tell her which of the CPAs to avoid and which ones are okay. But being a professional, all I will be able to say is --- PENIS. Maybe I could tell her I have Tourette Syndrome and she will feel sorry for me every time I shake my head and mutter !$%*!$%
I don't know Scott. I love pearls, even more than dilbert *gasp*, but this isn't his greatest work. Its one of his best croc comics, but I've never been a big fan of those ones. I am interested to know why you have indicated this comic over many of his previous ones such as pig's cereal nightmare series.
Today's "Pearls before Swine" was good but Tuesday's (May 13th) almost had me wetting my pants from laughing so hard ... which goes to prove that you should always use the bathroom before reading great comics.
Are you being ironic? I didn't find this funny at all. Not even remotely amused, and I'm an easy target for a laugh.
There is a slight element of truth here in that an educational degree, in my opinion, is pretty much a joke. But the joke, like this strip, doesn't seem very funny to me.
I took one education class in my undergrad degree. I went to the first class and thought it was ridiculous. I came back only for the mid-term and the final, didn't read any of the materials and got an A in the class. I actually was offended that the professor didn't either flunk me, or at least have the dignity to give me a C or something.
It was a waste of the 3 hours I spent showing up that semester. I would have learned more by washing my car.
We wonder why education in America sucks? That's why.
If you would be willing to elaborate - maybe tell us why you thought this was funny? I love Dilbert - and clearly your sense of funny / not funny is better than mine... I honestly would like to hear your take on this one.
