Tag / Six Chix

Not even published yet, and I already don’t understand it

This Six Chix panel, from the Wednesdays chick, Susan C K, is dated this coming Wednesday, 6 March, but was available by mistake last Wednesday, 28 February, when Comics Kingdom released their revamped website, and among several other issues was noticed to be displaying comics planned for up to a week in the future.

Whut? I suppose there could be a problem with the mechanism so that some dampers cannot stay lifted, making the notes from those strings always staccato. But that’s a stretch, and there isn’t a normal sense in which some strings have staccato as a property.

Saturday Morning OYs – February 3rd, 2024

Love that Monty Crisco! (But I don’t know what typo on Nesselrode Pie would be likely, or funny.)

Always go for consistency!

And a P.S. from B.C.

He tries just about every day, so why not give in and post one now and then.

Growing up, I knew only two pasta shapes: spaghetti, for spaghetti and meatballs, and macaroni, for macaroni and cheese. Imagine my surprise to find such an endless variety of shapes coming out of the extruder. And tortellini! And soba! And rice noodles! Now there’s chickpea pasta, etc. It’s a wide, wild world out there.

Just pasta these comics is a place to comment on your own favorite shape/type.

A synchronicity here, with two Dante-themed comics on the same day. What a Paradiso!

S I G H

These come from suggestions by Usual John and Jack Applin, both of whom call the 12 December one a cry for help! 

From 5 December

From 12 December

Note that, the way the Six Chix rotation works, two comics a week apart will be by the same artist – in this case Bianca Xunise. 

Is there a way to interpret these that isn’t dark?

P.S. And on another Tuesday….

From 19 December

From 26 December

Another old favorite

As so often with “Viivi and Wagner”, the thesis seems to be that men are pigs…

Some random retro LOLs

This next one depends on remembering when Lars von Trier and friends declared the Dogme 95 principles for filmmaking. (And probably does not require remembering the Kevin Smith film Dogma.)

With this December 2011 Brevity, we’re getting a bit into OYs.

And we interrupt our parade of Oldies to drop in a Duffy Lug Nuts on the same theme from current GoComics publication:

And they call the wind Mariah

No, really, who is the Santa, and who are the critters? And what are they taking turns at?

(And is this one of those “It would be perfectly clear to you if you just had the first clue about popular culture” cases?)

Yes, this appeared on Christmas Sunday. Yes, I know there is a performer named Mariah Carey. Is this what she looks like?
