Look the Doors, Hide the Tykes! The Comics Are In Heat

THE MORNING LINE:
The early a.m. roundup of today's 'toons, from the salacious to the rapacious...

'BREWSTER ROCKIT' (TMS)Enlarge Image

BREWSTER ROCKIT: Take a tip, Frank. That means you, too, Ernest. Tim Rickard gets today's nod for organic Pun O' the Day. Well-played. Literally.

'GARFIELD' (UPS)Enlarge Image

GARFIELD: Just imagine this as a "Garfield Minus Garfield." Suddenly, that last panel gets infinitely funnier, if not slightly more adult.

'JUDGE PARKER' (NAS)Enlarge Image

JUDGE PARKER: Harking back to the euphemism from earlier this week: "We can watch the sun go down," indeed. The man's got the moves of Mark Sanford.

'SALLY FORTH' (KFS)Enlarge Image

SALLY FORTH: Don't get your khakis in a bunch, Teddy Boy. Doth the dude protest too much? So now Ted not-so-secretly wants to keep Aria all to himself, trapped in a non-sexual non-romance with a non-available non-lothario?? We shall find out a-non.

'SPEED BUMP' (Creators)

SPEED BUMP: Best visual gag o' the day. Even if that resume is uncomfortably reminiscent of my own.

Do you love -- or loathe -- any of today's strips? If so, you've invited to share them riffs.
