I’d like to be doing the “Comic Surf” on an ever more frequent frequency, leading up to a possible future DAILY Comic Surf, but I am severely bogged down in the design phase of multiple projects, including an attempt to reformat the FP.com to give the ‘montage’ an 800 pixel width instead of 600 (which drops me directly into The Thing I Like LEAST About Comic Press)… stay tuned.

In the meantime, updating my recent “Below the Fold” posts:

As expected, a trickle of Big Name Webcomics has joined the “three (or four) links” meme. Okay, one.

Goats has linked to FChords, Gastrophobia and Sam and Fuzzy. This brings Gastrophibia up to an amazing 8 recommendations and Sam and Fuzzy to 5, leaving the pack behind. (Although, if the Goatherder had linked to Kris Straub’s OTHER new comic,it would be all alone in 3rd place… sometimes, diversification has its drawbacks).

There’s new action on the “Hitler meme” front too, from 3-time-linked Girls With Slingshots in the form of McPedro’s attempt at a replacement for his runaway mustache.

I wonder if he’s heard of Charlie Chaplin or Ron Mael either.

There are some hidden gems in the depths of the Newspaper Comics sites… like the rerunning in gocomics.com of Bloom County strips from the 1980s AND Berkeley Breathed’s embryonic pre-Opus/pre-Bloom “Academia Waltz” (is that the best name for a strip in a college paper since, like, EVER?), especially since it has made available for posterity (for 30 days at least), Berke’s 1979 reaction to the Accident at Three Miles Island. (Filched by me to be available for MORE than 30 days))

I wonder if anyone at gocomics.com noticed this particular strip’s use of the f-word.
WHAT? You mean the f-word EXISTED before WEBCOMICS?
