The Case of teh Missing Funny

Sherlock is on it!

 

[Fifty]

That wasn't funny.

 

[RevenantKioku]

These comics remind me of those kids on your dorm floor who would sit at their computer, with their door open, constantly laughing, as if trying to invite someone in to see what the fuck could be so funny. Then if you actually did venture into their cesspool of a living quarter to pity them so they'll shut the fuck up, you'll be faced with some shit like that comic.
I fucking hate people.

This is why we should've never made this an official topic or anything. Comic strips are so subjective and half the assholes on this forum have shitty taste anyway. And no, this is not a personal declaration that this strip is funny or not funny.

That's okay Wilco, I know you still love me.

R00fles teh knight shot teh pawn. PAWN=PWNED!!!111 HILLAREEUS!

Seriously, Perry Bible has seen much better days. This guy's just running out of ideas.

 

[Fifty]

Agreed. I liked the older ones...Even if they weren't brilliantly clever, the art was well done, and the characters were charming. Without a funny joke, and without original art, this cartoon just sucks. Now excuse me, I've got to go and watch Scary Movie 3.

R00fles teh knight shot teh pawn. PAWN=PWNED!!!111 HILLAREEUS!

Ummm...I think the joke was that the knight shot the opposing queen, thus ending the game before it started.

Er, that's what I meant. Still, R00fles teh knight shot teh qeen. QUEEN=QWNED!!!111 HILLAREEUS!

The guy has 2 bad weeks and the hate begins...

 

[demon]

It's been more than two weeks. Go to the Perry Bible page, where ever it is, and look through the comics in chronological order. They generally haven't been as good lately. I want my money back.

I'm going to assume you meant opposing King...

 

[Lucky Forward]

Er, yeah.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Er, yeah.

And that's funny?

 

[fennec fox]

If Calvin & Hobbes was published on the Internet, Bill Watterson would've quit after five weeks.

 

[Claus]

That's the Queen.

Please.
Calvin and Hobbes was amazing. I read all the comics as a child, and laughed. I read them again as an adult and I got jokes and things I never would have understood as a child.
Then again, your point stands since the internet is pretty brutal and asinine. So I've done nothing here.

 

[fennec fox]

Actually, Bloom County probably would be a more apt example. That comic wasn't very good until 2-3 years into its run.

 

[sc0la]

That's the Queen.

Then someone set the board up wrong because that is where the King sits.

No, it's setup right if you're sitting at Black's end of the board.

I'm not particularly familiar with Bloom County, so I'll grant you that. If the guy doing the comic enjoys it, he should continue. I'm not in the boat of just because its not funny it should cease to exist. Still, that doesn't make it funny.

 

[Boogie]

That's the Queen.

Queen is placed on its own colour

well, at least there was SOMETHING funny in the thread

scroll down and double check which piece the queen is represented by.

The knight shot the king in the comic. The queen always sits on her own color. If the knight indeed shot the queen in the comic (which I certainly don't believe) then the board was set up wrong.

The goal in chess is to capture/kill the king.

I like the smile on the horsie's face

Eh, it's OK.

Two weeks ago:

That one seems to be an acquired taste. I think it's great.

But three weeks ago:

One of my favourites.

Calvin & Hobbes was the best. One of the few comic strips to go out on a high note, and reamain great to this day. Unlike a certain other comic strip involving an orange felion.

 

[CavemanLawyer]

Calvin & Hobbes and Farside are my two favorite comics, and they both ended early.

 

[White Man]

Breathed will admit that the first year bit. There was/is heat between him and Trudeau because the whole first year is basically a thinly-veiled Doonesbury rip-off. After about a year though, Breathed discovered his sense of the irreverent and was popping off storylines about Bill and heavy metal.

BTW, anyone know what's been going on with Opus? Ever since it was purged from the web I haven't been able to keep up with it. After the first 10 -20 strips, he seemed to be getting into interesting areas. I liked what I read.

 

[FortNinety]

Eh, it's OK.

I find both examples hilarious. This week's was a bit "meh" but it's still pretty decent.
