True drama abounds for newspaper Spidey!

You’re a homo sapien superior, Charlie Brown

Beyond the awesomeness of this being X-Men Peanuts, there are a few little details that I particularly like.  I’m not sure if it was intentional or not,  but having Charlie Brown as the obvious Professor X and the Little Red Haired Girl that he so long pined for across the playground as Marvel Girl could be a reference to this tragic, best-forgotten Silver Age snippet.

Garfield’s timing failure

Yesterday, this edition of the famous comic strip Garfield appeared in papers:

Today, Jim Davis is apologizing for it.  And not simply because it’s mildly amusing, which goes against Garfield’s strict bland standard of the past decade.

Yesterday just happened to be Veterans Day in the United States.  You know, remembering those veterans killed in combat operations serving for their country.  You know, kind of like the spider in the strip.  Good timing, there.

Davis claims that he wrote the strip a year ago and had no idea the strip would run on Veterans Day.  Even if that is true, someone dropped the ball big time here.  Because unlike those here at Comicdom Wrecks (who find the unfortunate timing good for a chuckle), there are many who take great offense to trivial matters like this.

The tragic Mark Trail

I know absolutely nothing about the newspaper strip Mark Trail…except for that this is the greatest comic strip I’ve ever seen in my life.

There simply are no words.

Ouch

Leave it to the people of Rex Morgan, M.D. to tell it like it is.

I often end my own conversations like this as well.

(Found at the Comics Curmudgeon, the best place for lambasting newspaper comic strips.)

Archie out of context

Make your own assumptions.

I’ll go ahead and give the full strip after the jump.
