The Return of Stickman #870


What I loved about the news article that inspired this strip is when the restaurant was closed down by the health inspector, the sign on the door read: Closed because of family problems.

The Return of Stickman #867


I've had this issue with Iron Chef for a long time. Last night's show was just the last straw. Squash! Do you know how many freakin' squash there are and how many tastes? I might have hated squash when I was growing up, but I'm a squash fiend these days and you just can't expect people to think it is a challenge when you select an entire plant species. You just can't!

The Return of Stickman #866


The inspiration for this strip was the wonderful breakfast my wife cooked for us this morning.

The Comic Critic Reviews Fright Night and The Return of Stickman #865


This is a vampire film, which uses vampire film knowledge to battle vampire film vampires while doing an homage to vampire films. A lot of great horror movies came out in the 1980s. And the best, like Fright Night, are filled with clever writing, wonderful characters, and a love for creepy crawly celluloid of the past. I was extremely tempted to give this film a ten. I’m still tempted to give this film a ten. In short, this is a great freakin’ film and if you haven’t seen it, you are culturally deprived.

The Return of Stickman #864


When we first moved into our house we decided that it would be a no-posting zone. We have a very long stretch of property along a fairly well traveled road. When our neighbors noticed that we were not putting up any signs by ourselves, they offered to post their signs there. We informed them that nothing was going up. My neighbors adjacent to me took up the same policy. Every now and then someone will try to stick something in between the two property lines hoping to slide by. They never make it through the day. Now I would just like to see them all, especially the ones on posted about in public, get cleaned up.
