Some mornings I need a cup of coffee or two to get my day going, but on Wednesdays… uhg, Wednesdays… I need a gallon of the stuff to bring me into the office to mentally prepare myself for Ms. Jess Lamarche and her webcomic of the week. Sure, the 40 of whiskey I keep stored under the desk helps, but you start to get a reputation at the store when you’re picking them up by the case each week.
Speaking of which, “Mike” from the liquor store called. Your shipment is in. Shipment? You’re sharing this stuff, right?
Over my dead, probably still liquor’d up body you scurvy seadog. I mean that in the nicest way possible, I just speak pirate when I get upset. Anways today’s review is…
Doghouse Diaries by Will, Ray and Raf
DD is about…. well, there’s no real story or theme to this webcomic. Just good ole’ fashioned randomness and wit in each comic. Seriously, the random button is king on this one folks.
Jess – Personally, I absolutely love this comic. With every push of that random button, I laugh. Not giggle, laugh. Lots of them are funny ’cause it’s true, or just funny ’cause it’s ridiculous and I have stayed up late many a night on this comic. You’ve made it to my rotation. I have grown so very fond of your stick man humor.
Paul – Doghouse Diaries is genuinely interesting and is pretty original. There’s no overused jokes and the art style is simple enough that it doesn’t take away from the punchline. You can lose hours to this comic by pushing the random button. It’s kinda like a less-sciencey XKCD (and I mean that with the most respect), which is good because we can’t all have a PhD in blinding people with science. That’s just impractical.
Conclusion
Jess - I give DD 5 stickpencils out of 5. There is nothing bad about this. It’s consistent in its funny delivery and never disappoints.
Paul - Doghouse Diaries gets 4.5 out of 5 pencils. Definitely a must read for anyone who fancies themselves a webcomic reader out there in the series of tubes we call the internet.
Wellp, that about does it for this week, kids. Now it’s time to go play “Hide the Happy Juice Bottle on the Significantly Surly Bossman”. Replace my coffee sugar with “Sugar Twin” will you… NOT WITHOUT RETRIBUTION! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
