The Return of Stickman #1164


No, I'm not going to tell you what this is about. If you live in Nevada you already know. And if you live someplace else, you can do your homework on the Internet.

The Comic Critic Reviews "Moon"


I was truly shocked when Moon did not receive an Oscar nomination. The only reason I can think it didn’t get a nod is because nearly all of the film involves only one actor. And while that might sound dull initially, the story is far from boring. In fact, the story is riveting. If your instincts tell you that some parts of the film might set you squirming in your seat, your instincts would be right. This film joins other overlooked notable sci-fi movies, such as “Dark Star,” “A Boy and His Dog,” and “Silent Running,” as highly deserving of recognition as great films. If you haven’t seen Moon, or the other movies I mentioned as classics of the genre, you should put them on your must-see list.

The Return of Stickman #1163


Before you even ask, yes, this did happen. Tip to muggers: When mugging somebody location is key. Good locations would be dark alleys and parking lots. Bad locations would be in front of Police Stations and Ninja Dojos.

When my wife started to read this she was wondering if it was going to go anyplace, then she started laughing and I knew I had a winner.

The Return of Stickman #1160


I took just a few liberties with the real situation that inspired this strip. I made the child older. In real life the child was a three month infant. Oh, and I left out the part about the father hiding behind a dumpster with the child.

The Return of Stickman #1159


This strip was inspired by a set of instructions I received for a meeting I had this morning. And while I made it to my meeting without making a wrong turn, there has been many a time when I was less fortunate.
