Internet comics are so much more original and better than mainstream comics.

"Spewing platitudes" is my new favorite expression. I shall try to use it in conversation once per day.

It would also make a pretty kick-butt band name. If only because it contains the word "spew."

DCS speaks truth!

I could not agree more. :P
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Funny thing is, I read said main-stream comics just before I read the good ones...

"Monday sucks"

Totally Garfield reference right there... if only there was enough room to have a pie randomly splot Millie in the face out of nowhere and then some dorky drab humanoid tells her she's going on a diet

while we're at it, lets make each panel the same... with bland blank backgrounds and a table top...

I knew the gist of the punchline by the second panel. Actually, that's kind of appropriate for a strip about bland comics.

Unfortunately, "I hate Mondays" has become a catch phrase for yet another newspaper comic's cat: Sourpuss in "Mutts." I usually like Patrick McDonnell's work, but he made his worst character decision ever with that ugly, uncreative feline Grouchy Smurf of the comics page. At least Garfield's personality isn't defined by a single, constant emotion.

Here's one for you Millie: "Pre-ripped jeans cost more than other jeans. Isn't that silly?" (As a former regular at Comics Curmudgeon, I was aware of four comics making that joke in one season.)

Not to mention that she's drawn better than damn near anything I see in the 'mainstream' comics. Which look like they were scrawled by a drunken toddler.

I dunno. Opus and Non Sequitor are pretty good. And Doonesbury isn't bad neither.

You mean like B.C.?

From a visual standpoint, yes. Unfortunately, I thought of "Non Sequitur" upon reading the third panel of O&M today.

FWIW, one of today's newspaper strips presents a different take on Mondays: Single and Looking.

This one made me laugh aloud. Which is quite the accomplishment!
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...
