Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #406
Originally uploaded by Ape Lad.

YOU ALL ALREADY KNOW THAT THIS is the most important new daily comic strip since “LONELY BOY AND IMAGINARY TIGER.”

BUT IT STRUCK ME today that Koford’s “Laugh-Out-Loud Cats” is not just a daily comic, but specifically A SINGLE PANEL daily comic.

AND MORE SPECIFICALLY AND STRANGELY: a good one.

THIS, MY FRIENDS, is a bold innovation. Has Ape-Lad broken curse of PLUGGERS?*

(ONE MIGHT HAVE SAID the “Curse of Ziggy” or “Curse of Howard Huge,” but that would be mean.)

(OR: ONE MIGHT HAVE SAID the “Curse of the Lockhorns.” But I actually admire the sheer, misanthropic brio of those Lockhorns.)

(After all, it can’t be easy to distill all the drunken, marital loathing of WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? and pour it all into a single, hate-filled funny pages panel day after day after day.

(Who would have thought THAT would work?)**

That is all.

*Hint: he has.

**Double hint: it’s doesn’t.

IS IT JUST ME, or do you agree that…

THIS INCREDIBLE “INTERNET VIDEO” IS AT LEAST HALF FULL?

HERE WE HAVE the marriage of the genius of GEORGE SAUNDERS with the genius of JESSE THORN

….plus the genius of PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE I KNOW OR WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

YES: we are talking about PURE GENIUS POLYGAMY, plus puppets.

CAN YOU GUESS THE IDENTITY of the whole cast????

WELL, IF YOU GO TO JESSE’S BLOG, you don’t have to!

That is all.
