...current storyline about a clearly fraudulent "investment advisor" seems to be pretty good although Dilbert's alter ego, Dogbert, and his School of Common Sense for truly stupid people are nowhere to be found. What's funnier is that although Dilbert recognizes that to give his money to this guy is the equivalent of "flinging" his hard earned cash "out the window," he will probably invest with this guy anyway, just as he always asks out women who will inevitably humiliate him in some excruciatingly painful fashion...
Grimm, the rather deranged Old Yeller (I'm referring to the pre-rabies Yeller of course) has done one too many "fire hydrant" jokes for my tastes, but he's weird enough to like. The strip alternates between one shot gags and storylines, the one shot gags often being funnier. A recent "Soup of the Day joke" involving some confusion between they day (Wednesday) and the soup, was stupid, but funny, which is perhaps a good way to summarize the strip...
...effects showcase in a shroud. Daniel Waters' script delights in elaborate wordplay and complex characters. "The characters are all screwed up," Burton notes. "I find that much more interesting." Returns tops the first movie's shrill wrestling match between Batman (Michael Keaton) and the Joker (Jack Nicholson) with a funnier, more lithe and daring villain: the Penguin (Danny De Vito). He is a vicious troll with a righteous grudge: his rich parents dumped him in the sewer when they saw he had flippers for hands. Now he wants to be loved and, even more, elected -- mayor of Gotham City...
...shrewd ditsiness sets a lively pace, but she also finds something real and appealing in an unlikely figure. Martin's role is essentially reactive, but he has his moments, notably a hilariously infantile attempt to seduce his old flame, whom Delany plays straight as a board but much funnier...
...American musical ever had a better book or funnier and more truthful lyrics, and few had so many catchy, jubilant tunes in one score. Only a handful have mined a literary vein as rich as Damon Runyon's wry stories that transmuted thugs into thinkers and louts into Lochinvars, and elevated their gutter parlance into a courtly elocution, full of flowery phrases scrupulously shorn of contractions. While time has been unkind to many landmark musicals, Guys and Dolls has sustained its glowing reputation despite a clumsy 1955 Hollywood rendition with Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra and a trendy, swingy...
