Our Ten Favorite Comic Strips from the Sunday Washington Post: Cheetos Anyone?

Greetings to our blog readers in Turkey, Croatia and Spain.....

Today, we once again turn our attention to our favorite comic strips from the Sunday "Washington Post," and the Jan. 4th edition offered lots of laughs and even more gags.

"Brewster Rockit: Space Guy," a comic strip that is also in the (Greensboro, NC) "News and Record" and "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution," provided one hilarious moment when a patron aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise (forgive the "Star Trek" humor) spills Cheetos (pict. top) all over himself.

In second place, the Danish import "WUMO" featured a fishing trip (pict. middle) in which the fish were a bit more animated than one might expect.

Third place went to "Rhymes with Orange," in which a new product is tested in a factory to unexpected, negative results.

Lastly, fifth place went to Keith Knight's "Knight Lie" in which the cartoonist pokes fun at right-wing paranoid men who may listen to Rush Limbaugh, sort of like the old tv sitcom character Archie Bunker (pict. bottom).

Here is our top ten:

1) Brewster Rockit

2) WUMO

3) Rhymes with Orange

4) Foxtrot

5) Knight Life

6) Doonesbury

7) Speed Bump

8) The Argyle Sweater

9) Pearls Before Swine

Sunday Best from the Washington Post

Greetings to our blog readers in Colombia, Honduras and Canada...

Why do we have images of Gil Gerard from his "Buck Rogers" day (an NBC sci fi show that aired circa 1979), '60s cartoon favorite Atom Ant and a bunch of green golf balls???!!!

This is because all of these things relate to our favorite comic strips from this Sunday's "Washington Post." "Brewster Rockit: Space Guy," which we actually first saw in "The Atlanta Journal Constitution" in 2007, wins this week with a great comic strip about a carbon copy selfie?! The comic strip is also in the "News and Record" in Greensboro, NC.

Second place goes to "Lio," which shows an alien octopus scaring away the rug rats from "The Family Circus" comic strip. The bronze medal goes to "The Argyle Sweater" which shows Army ants having a picnic in what could be lower Manhattan. Fourth place goes to the always funny and hip Keith Knight and his autobiographical comic strip "Knight Life," which this week, shows a man who literally has his eye on the (golf) ball. Tiger Woods would be proud!

Knight will be singing books at an event in San Fransisco from Oct. 9th-11th. 


Here is our list:

1. Brewster Rockit: Space Guy

2. Lio

3. The Argyle Sweater

4. Knight Life

5. Speed Bump

6. Reply All

7. WUMO

8. Rhymes with Orange

9. Frazz

10. Sherman's Lagoon

Our Top Ten Favorite Comic Strips from the Sunday "Washington Post": It's Shark Week Again

What do a lemon shark, Gil Gerard (as Buck Rogers in the early '80s tv show "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century") and the board game Operation have in common? Well, they all sprung to mind when looking at today's comic strips in the Sunday Washington Post.

We last profiled our fav Sunday Post strips some ten days ago on "The Daily Vampire" http://www.nocturnalguy38.blogspot.com and as was the case then "Sherman's Lagoon" was our favorite comic strip again.

Here is a list of the top ten, which includes the always hip comic strip "Knight Life" by Keith Knight and "Candorville" by Darrin Bell.

1. Sherman's Lagoon (yeah, that's the reason for the lemon shark)

2. "Brewster Rockit: Space Guy" (yep, he's the reason for Gil Gerard)

3. "Pearls Before Swine"

4. "Lio" (today's strip dealt with Family Board Game Night, thus we came up with 'Operation')

5. "Knight Life"

6. "Dustin"

7. "WUMO" (we believe this comic strip is a new one)

8. "Candorville"

9. "Prickly City"

10. "Reply All"
