3-1-10: Membership also seems to play hell with perspective, unless the guy has actually heaved himself upon this poor waitress like some orca on a sandy beach.

Regurgitation Report: This Quigmans cartoon last appeared on February 1, 2005.

3-2-10: There are days when I'm convinced that burned-out drug addicts have approached Buddy with ludicrously indecipherable gags for his Quigmans comic strip. I'm referring to people who have systematically burned out their cerebral cortex by ingesting liberal doses of chemicals initially intended as warfare agents over many, many, many years. And, for whatever reason, Buddy has chosen to employ the proffered jest unaltered. Like this one.

And then I remember that, no, that's just the way Buddy writes.

3-3-10: It's hard to comprehend why, for one crummy ceramic cat reference, Buddy felt the need to create an entire alternate cat-populated universe.

I wonder when Buddy first realized that he had a ceramic sense of humor? I mean, no man is THAT stupid. Right?

Regurgitation Report: When this thing first appeared five years ago I couldn't believe Buddy actually syndicated it. This is more like something you doodle while playing The Jumble, not a real comic.

3-4-10: Somewhere up in Native American Nirvana Iron Eyes Cody is gazing down at this comic as a small tear runs down his right cheek, just before he blows chunks all over Luann and Andy Capp.

Pollution, it seems, comes in all forms and in all places. Including the comics page.

3-5-10: What he means is, someone who can create a decent comic.

Baddum-shhhh!

I'll be here all week. Avoid the veal.

3-6-10: I wrote this gag back in the early 90s, at which point it was syndicated. Buddy drug it out again back in 2005.

I wrote this gag when the U.S. was suffering another short-term "energy crisis", during Herbert Walker Bush's presidency. Bill Clinton's eight years saw relatively stable energy prices. Then W came along and WHOOPS! another severe energy crisis. Funny how that happens, ain't it? So I predict the next one will occur the next time a Republican is president. In fact, I guarantee it. Let's just hope that's not for a long-long time.

Regurgitation Report: I don't have a copy of t from its first incarnation back in the 90s. Sorry.
