Daily Comic Journal: April 19, 2022: "Quiet On The Set!!"
I suppose someone reading this is thinking “Well buddy, why don’t you just turn the TV off?” Well… I’ve been loving alone (with the exception of a pet cat or two) since 1983 and over the years I’ve gotten into the habit of usually having something on in the background. My stereo, radio or the TV. I guess it just feels comforting to have “noise’ on. Unfortunately, with the TV, and to a lesser…

Daily Comic Journal: April 18, 2022: "Who Will Love You Now, Dumbledore?"
This movie, as well as the first two films of this trilogy, felt as if it was written by a writer or a team of writers who had heard about Harry Potter but never read a Potter book or saw any of the Potter films. But, ironically enough, all three movies were written by Harry Pitter creator J.K. Rowling.
I’ll say this much about this movie. Compared to the first two, at least the “main” character…

Daily Comic Journal: April 17, 2022: "One Of The Best American Dramatic TV Series Of All Time."
Yes, I’ve been watching all 120 episodes of “The Fugitive” while drawing these comics, so yes, I drew a few comics about the show. Back on September 5, 2020 I first talked about recording and watching this show for the first time. Then, on April 13, 2021 I checked into my watching the entire run of the series with this comic that observes the insane tension of a particular episode.
If you’ve…

Daily Comic Journal: April 16, 2022: "Back-To-Back Melodrama Is Too Much Schmaltz To Stomach."
I read a lot of super-hero and adventure comics when I was a kid, a teenager, a young adult, an adult, etc… and for the most part, really enjoyed them. But I gotta admit, many of them were SOOOO full of soap opera-esque storylines. Seriously, all of those lines that Matt Murdock/Daredevil is thinking or saying in my comic came directly from those Daredevil issues. Sure, the heroes would spend…

Daily Comic Journal: April 15, 2022: "What A Shitty Thing To Do."
On George Carlin’s infamous bit, “The 7 words you can never say on TV”, shit was one of the words. Two of the words are parts of a woman’s anatomy, three words are sexual acts but the last two words, “shit” and “piss” just have to do with the moving of bowels, or getting rid of urine. Sure, they’re not “pleasant” acts, but saying them shouldn’t result in censorship. I mean, IMO, it’s all rather…

Daily Comic Journal: April 14, 2022: "We Just Lost A Very Funny Man."
As much of a fan of Saturday Night Live that I was (I was 14 years old the night it premiered, with George Carlin as host) I never saw the season that Gilbert was part of the cast. I watched those early years of SNL with the original cast religiously, never missing an episode, even the reruns. But when everyone left after season 5, so did I, because of that I missed seeing Gilbert’s work on the…

Daily Comic Journal: April 13, 2022: "It's A Duet. That Means You Du-Et Together!"
It seems that every year when the Academy Awards are presented there are many who will cast aspersions on what they choose to win Best Picture. Well, with CODA winning the Oscar this year, there can be no argument. They got it right.

Daily Comic Journal: April 12, 2022: "Obscene Phone Question Answerers."
Before anyone asks, “Why would she care if I was vaccinated for Covid if it was for a remote job?” well, there could be times when I’d have to go into the office to pick up equipment or attend meetings and she had a series of standard questions she had to ask everyone. I felt bad for her. Generally, I don’t have a favorable attitude towards recruiters, since in the past they’ve been no help…

Daily Comic Journal: April 11, 2022: "Losing Friends We Don't Really Know."
I think I wrote about this mostly because his death seemed (from this end) shockingly very quickly. For weeks he’d make his normal posts, about his teaching (he was looking forward to retiring) about what was going on in the world and having arguments with religious zealots (Ricardo was an atheist). Then a simple “I’m not feeling well” post and then suddenly, a post from his son on his wall that…

Daily Comic Journal: April 10, 2022: "I'd Forgotten What It's Like To Be In A Crowd."
This is easily the most people I’ve been around, in the middle of and within for well over two years. Probably some time in 2019. For a brief moment it was somewhat disconcerting, but as long as I didn’t catch anything from anyone, I should be alright.
As for the Manor Theater, I’m glad they’ve been able to keep it open and operating all of these years. A theater that, when it opened showed…

Daily Comic Journal: April 9, 2022: "I Got Bored One Day And Put Everything On A Bagel."
If you notice throughout the years that I’ve drawn my movie reviews in my daily comics I very rarely see movies I really dislike or outright hate. While I do see a lot of films each year I think I do a good job of avoiding bad ones. So usually, the worst review I’d give would be for a movie that I was looking forward to seeing but ended up being let down with. Like this one.

Daily Comic Journal: April 8, 2022: "Tryst-Time."
Now, these are two vehicles, just sitting there. Two innocent people visiting the park. These could be two friends, just sharing lunch and conversation, each day in each other’s car. I’m not saying I ever saw them “doing anything” untoward. It’s probably just my imagination running away with me.
Or, maybe not!….

Daily Comic Journal: April 7, 2022: "Unmasked ... For Now?"
I suppose I should count myself lucky. It’s been about two years since COVID-19 really hit this country and I’ve gotten this far without catching the virus. It could be because I’ve spent so much time at home (first when I was working from home and then when I was laid off so I had no where to go) and when I do go anywhere, like to the movies yesterday, I go in the afternoon during the week when…

Daily Comic Journal: April 6, 2022: "We Shouldn't Be Here When It Gets Dark..."
This is one of those movies that was relentlessly and savagely panned and vilified all over the internet. I can understand someone going to see a movie and hating it. Not every movie is for everyone and there have been many films that have been poorly written or poorly acted or poorly directed, or just plain bad. BUT, this film was hated BEFORE the film ever hit the theaters. From what I can…

Daily Comic Journal: April 5, 2022: "I Should Be Normal By Morning."
I should probably point out that after this theater closed in 2008 it was turned into a gym. So the room where they’re giving the shots still have mats and the walls are painted to reflect the workout areas. The inside track is still noticeable too. There’s nothing left inside this building to remind anyone that it used to be a theater with four screens. In fact, the only remnant of any kind…

Daily Comic Journal: April 4, 2022: "Who (And Why) Was That Masked Man."
Long time readers of these comics, know that I’m in NO Way one of those anti-mask assholes. During the height of the pandemic I wore my masks every time I went somewhere, especially before I was vaccinated. Though since getting my doses and booster I’ve been less inclined to always wear one. But even when I did, I never wore it while driving by myself in the car. I just never saw any reason to.…

Daily Comic Journal: April 3, 2022: "Uncommon Abodes On Television."
In case you didn’t get the TV show I was referring to in the last panel, it was “The Honeymooners”. The 1955, 1956 classic sitcom had basically one set, the Kramden’s kitchen.
Ralph (Jackie Gleason) was a NYC bus driver who lived with his wife Alice in their tiny Brooklyn apartment. He didn’t make much of a salary and his wife didn’t work. As far as we the audience could tell, their apartment…
