Webcomic Review: Extra Fabulous Comics

by tonyd on May 12, 2018 at 12:01 am

Webcomic: Extra Fabulous Comics

Creator: Zach

Format: Usually around 3-4 panels, sometimes more, sometimes color, sometimes b/w

Updates: Once or more a month?

Genre: Comedy, Puns, Weirdness

Themes: Wordplay, Absurdity, Every Day Weirdness

Characters: Zach (I think), the bro character, various other people

Archive: Unknown

I would estimate that Zach has been cranking out comics for at least three years, maybe more. Sometimes he really finishes the artwork and other times it looks like they were drawn ten minutes before deadline on a napkin in the parking lot. That’s not to bash those strips. Zach has a very sparse and simple style of artwork and this kind of gag-a-day style comic doesn’t particularly need super detailed work.

The comic is very funny. It does stuff about word play. Once in a while, he does a strange video. As of this review, he has over 500 installments. It’s very random, so don’t expect a storyline, but do expect to laugh.

Definitely bookmark Extra Fabulous Comics. He updates whenever, but it’s worth searching out when it does.

Twitter in Focus: Alan Alda

by tonyd on May 9, 2018 at 12:01 am

Hey Bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die! Today’s contestant is Hawkeye, AKA Alan Alda! Let’s see what he’s tweeting.

@alanalda

April 16th: “Really excited. My podcast starts July 10. I’ll be talking with fascinating people about relating and communicating. Some are famous fascinating people, but all have insight into making ourselves understood by those who are most important to us – in every area of life. Tune in.”

Welcome to the Internet. If you post on YouTube, don’t read the comments. Trust me.

April 17th: “People are coming up with great ideas. Who else should Interview on Clear+Vivid? Let’s crowdsource a great lineup. People insightful about relating and communicating with others. They’ll be glad to know your want to hear from them.”

Jordan Peterson, although he’s pretty busy right now.

April 18th: “Take a look at the snappy new landing page of my website – thanks to my daughter Eve. alanalda.com ”

It’s a nice site. Good job!

April 30th: “A plaque on a rock in the park. There’s an idea – Let the light in all the way down to our roots.”

For a second, I thought the quote was from Theodore Roosevelt.

April 30th: “Congratulations, Rita and Tom! You only have 31 to go to catch up.”

Looks like Joe vs. the Volcano vs. the DaVinci Code.

May 2nd: “The Clear+Vivid podcast goes online July 10. I’d love more ideas about who I should interview. Conversations about relating and communicating in all parts of our lives. At home, at work, breaking up, starting up – doctors, teachers, hostage negotiators. (You never know.)”

You know, Radar from M*A*S*H* could type the reply on Twitter before your tweet. Just sayin’.

May 4th: “This made me laugh. A treacle-cutter, as Danny Thomas used to say.”

I think a show reunion on the podcast would be fun. Frank Burns eat worms! Sorry, just had to say that.

Okay, let’s rate Alan’s tweets. I give him a 7 for Mustness, a 7 for Insanity and an 8 for Style. That’s an overall score of 7.3. Follow Hawkeye.

And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email me here.

Webcomic Review: They Can Talk

by tonyd on May 7, 2018 at 12:01 am

Webcomic: They Can Talk

Creator: Jimmy

Format: 1 to 4 panels

Updates: Once or more a month?

Genre: Animals, Comedy

Themes: Comedic Animal Situations

Characters: Talking Animals

Archive: July 25, 2005

The comic basically takes animals, gives them a voice and makes fun of their weird situation. Or, sometimes, the comic puts human traits to the animals and makes a joke about that. It’s apparently insanely popular and has a book out.

I’m not sure how it go to be so popular when the updates are so sporadic. I do like the artwork. The jokes are hit or miss for me. I like that it stays in its one area. I mean, it’s the sort of jokes that are inoffensive and might show up on a greeting card or calendar.

Why not check it out? You can binge read the entire run in probably less than an hour. Maybe I’m missing something, but they’re okay. They have a video on the About page about Cats and Dogs that I liked.
