The more reliable web comics have already updated their Friday stories. Let's see what we have:
While I wait for Butternut Squash to load, I checked out C'est la Vie, and once again, Jen Babcock does not disappoint. ClV has been one of my regularly checked comics since I discovered it two years ago; consistently updated, with strong storylines and amusing characters. I'm really enjoying the look of annoyance on Pierre's face in this first panel. Considering his shabby treatment of Tina since Valentine's Day, it's particularly satisfying to see him get some kind of comeuppance now.
What comforts me most about this comic is the knowledge that probably nothing will change: Pierre may well be sucked into some hijinks to try to lose a little weight, but in the world of C'est la Vie, our beloved characters remain mostly ignorant of elements in their past that might allow them to grow...and considering how fond I am of Mona's griping, Donna's optimism and Pierre's lazy chauvinism, I'm really okay with that.
All I have to say about Sinfest tonight is this: Thank you, Tatsuya Ishida, for the pure joy that is this strip. I've always been partial to Pooch and Percy, and this, with Percy's manic glare of realization in panel one and Pooch's lopsided ears in panel three, is just plain adorable.
Today's Something Positive is funny because...Davan is an angry snarky geek? It's cool, Davan. Every actor says playing yourself is the hardest thing to do, anyway. Go for the easy roles! Or the throat. Whichever; I'm kind of bored with this storyline.
Excellent! The next step into total drunken oblivion for Marten over at Questionable Content. My question is, why is Hannelore even there still? Who wants to be around self-pitying drunken men? More unbelievable, though, is that even though she finally got around to QC's patented "I'm-right-you're-wrong-and-you'll-just-sit-there-and-accept-that" lecture yesterday, the guys never went after her. Am I the only one aside from Steve who thinks it's fucked up that Meena still lives with her ex? Or who's unnerved by perfect Dave's creepifying way of never opening his eyes? Also, Dora is the one who flipped out here. And how come no one seems to be worrying about Faye, who is the only person involved who actually needs to deal with what went down?
(Heh. Went down.)
Interesting moves, Jacques. I look forward to Monday's installment.
