ERTCSJDHT: A Catty Conclusion

I think I am going to stop posting Erin Reads the Comics So Josh Doesn't Have To here, and leave that for my single-purpose tumblog:

http://erinreadsthecomics.tumblr.com/

People can't really post comments, because tumblr is a blog site intended for the verbally challenged, but the layout for pictures is nice on there, and I got tired of manually resizing each scan and uploading a small- and large-resolution of each to photobucket. Laziness wins again, I guess.

Also, on tumblr I tag each comic with its newspaper strip progenitors, so at least credit is being given, in case some daily cartoon has an especial aesthetic appeal, and you just need to know what it's called and who drew it so that you can go and read all the archives and make your favourite panel your desktop background. Because there's nothing so wondrous to observe like the artistry in the funny pages.

THE LITTLE THINGS: Veronica Mars, S01E17



Clearly, I have of late been going through a bit of a mini-Veronica Mars phase. Also quite certainly, VM's slipshod prop department had some decorations left over from that conch-centric episode they did a while back.

Or maybe somebody just really likes Freddi Fish.

THE LITTLE THINGS: Veronica Mars, S01E10



The set dressing on VM has always been a bit awkward (though there have been recurring posters for a play mentioned in an earlier episode), but come on, guys. Even in Neptune, California, I'm pretty sure high school kids don't brand boast to the point of adorning their lockers with straight-up trademark placement.

THE LITTLE THINGS: Veronica Mars, S01E14

Rewatched this episode for the adorableness that is a young Adam Scott:



...but even his dashing good facial features and acting prowess could not quite hold their own next to the Veronica Mars costuming department:





Seriously. Even I do not have a sweater that could top that. Almost even tops the Roseanne chicken shirt. Almost.

ERTCSJDHT: Unexpected Holiday Subtext

My mother's house has no wireless internet, but it does have the Sunday comics! Which are in color! Julian Barratt-type karate-chop sound-effect!

19 December 2010:







like a webcomic, but terribly depressing (and terribly true)

Winter break at my mother's house comes with the added bonus of exciting new things like no wireless internet, which, coupled with my oft-mentioned laziness and her lack of any photo editing programs, equates to messy handwriting captioning my woebegone webcomics.

Yay!



BECAUSE I HAVE NO SENSE OF SMELL.

Se on hauska vitsi, kyllä?
