Friday's Sally Forth

Sally Forth is of course recycling the Seinfeld eighth season finale plot here, where George, just fired from the Yankees, gets three months pay as a severance package. He decides he's going to do all sorts of things with that time, like read a book and play frisbee golf, and declares it the "Summer of George".

I don't have any problems with the comics copying a Seinfeld plot, since people watch those episodes over and over and they're still funny. Plus I don't mind seeing Ted with some stubble.

Things Ted can do now that he's unemployed:

1. Cartoon porn
2. Cartoon S&M porn
3. Cartoon soft core porn
4. Cartoon fake voyeur porn
5. Cartoon fake "straight boys seduced" porn
6. Cartoon barebacking porn (what? There aren't STD's in cartoons!)

Any other ideas?

Sally Forth

Good with children, easily excited by inane details, and still in great shape in his 40's. *SWOON*

Qomics for Queers is still holding out hope for Ted Forth

That's going to be how I introduce myself in every room I enter from now on. "NO, I THINK I HAVE THE RIGHT ROOM-HI, MOM... ....PROFESSOR WILKINS!" Or maybe: "NO, I THINK I HAVE THE RIGHT ROOM-HI, TOILET... ... TOILET PAPER ROLL!"

Wednesday's Sally Forth:

Well, it's no secret that I have a little thing for Ted Forth. When it comes to middle-aged men, they don't get much hotter than Ted. He's sensitive to irony yet remains above the fray with his pro-value innocence. And considering how I often feel trapped between market-driven apathy and cynicism parading as reform, value-positivity can look pretty hot. Enter Ted Forth.

Hillary's little comment here provides some hope, even though it's supposed to be a from-the-mouth-of-babes jab at Ted's masculinity, gives me a little hope, hope that we'll see a "Hillary has two daddies" story line a few years from now.


And Tuesday's Dennis the Menace:

I love the expression on Hank's face. It's just saying: "Don't out me in front of the cop, Dennis. Our people don't have a good history with the po-po."

Or maybe that's just my imagination.


Thursday's Mark Trail:

Oh, man, I was right! Not only are they fighting, they're carrying on a conversation while doing so! Not like Dick Tracy, which stops the speech bubbles during a fight scene, Mark Trail doesn't skip a beat.

But Dan raises a good question: HOW did Mark find out so fast? The eyehook under the boat really didn't say much besides, you know, there's an eyehook under a boat, not insurance fraud, although Mark's crazy assumptions turned out to be correct. Yes, a very convenient narrative turn....

Now what sort of "deal" does the EMBARRASSED Dan have in mind? I've read a few Nifty stories that started this way....
