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.

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!

(Why is the comics page of two weeks ago mirroring my internal sentiments? What is this, some kind of Denzel Washington time-travel movie?)

Erin Reads the Comics So Josh Doesn't Have To

Inspired by the not-countless-but-too-embarrassingly-large-to-be-recounted number of hours I've spent over the past year with The Comics Curmudgeon - Josh reads (and hilariously mocks) the comics, so you don't have to - I've started reading the daily funnies myself. My university has a small variety of newspapers available for free on campus, and though sadly none of these publications carry the classics Mary Worth and Apt. 3G, now it's become habit for me to read the daily comics, and also to clip out the bizarrest, most wtf of panels, just for the record, I guess.

But then I decided, hey, why not do something with 'em?











So I did that. I actually don't have any scissors right now (only nail scissors), so we'll see how long I keep at this.
