Can't believe I never knew about
The Comics Curmudgeon until now. This daily recap of the cheesiest of comic strips (we're talking
Gil Thorp, people!) is hilarious and addictive. The main focus seems to be on both soap-opera style strips like
Mary Worth and purportedly humorous fare like
B.C., but there is plenty to be found on those two spandex-clad hunks of the daily paper,
The Phantom and
Spider-Man, much of it concerning their rather unsuperheroic domestication. (My local paper does not carry
The Phantom, so I did not realize he was now ... married with children. Horror of horrors, Mr. Walker!)
I've gotta be checking this out on a regular basis.
(On a related note, I've been thinking about beefing up the links to the right; right now they are mainly the ones I myself check as often as possible, but I have been tempted to add several more that might be of interest to readers. No matter what, you can always find cop and superhero links galore on
my "Secret Room" site, even if I don't do the best job of updating them.)
