Garfield Lost in Translation
First there was Garfield minus Garfield. Then came Garkov. And now the new thing is Garfield translated from English to Chinese then back to English still makes more sense than regular Garfield. [ Garfield Lost in Translation ]

Baby's First Internet
"Do not stop to think or edit: You must be the first who said it."
The subject's been beaten into submission, Right-click - Save As - Leads to a Funny Pages' perdition. [Baby's First Internet Story Book ]
Oh and here are my contributions:
Some expressions will never wear thin,
Like when you say "full of win"
Whenever you want to embarrass a fool
simply whip out this nifty little tool.
If your appearances happen to be quite homely,
just call yourself Cutie19 and you'll never be lonely!

Dark Knight Shift: Why Batman Could Exist--But Not for Long
There's a quote from Neal Adams, the great Batman illustrator, who
said Batman would win, place or show in every event in the Olympics.For the record, I love Neal Adams. Nobody has ever drawn Green Lantern, Green Arrow or Batman better. That being said ... Neal believes that the Earth is expanding. Oh and yeah, tonight I am going to see Dark Knight. Not gonna lie, pretty excited. [ Dark Knight Shift ]

10 of The Dumbest Secret Identities
...the secret identity is a staple, and one that was created to help
suspend disbelief for another staple, vigilantism. The secret identity
has been under attack for a while now from within the comic
world. Heroes are revealing themselves to the world (and we will no
longer accept the extreme, note absurd, lengths writers will go to
reverse the outing), but there are a few superheroes who have only hurt
the cause of the secret identity over the years. These few, that have
done so much to push away those unimaginative masses unable to suspend
their disbelief any farther, are now named here.
While i don't really agree with this list i will say that He-Man's secret identity was horrible! The only visual difference between the two was that Prince Adam wore a pink polo. That puzzled me even when I was in preschool. Even more puzzling was years later while watching Nick At Night they played the reruns of the old Live Action Superman show. I remember seeing one where Superman loses his memory and people from the Daily Planet are trying to help him out. The big "What the..." was the fact that he did not have his glasses on for half the episode, yet everyone still saw him as Clark Kent. He didn't even recognize himself as Superman until his hair parted a certain way in the mirror. Even as a grade school kid I was like "WHAT THE...". To this day, i just always believed that Lois was the most vapid woman in the history of comics. She was so full of her self that she never paid enough attention to Clark to see the similarities. So I never blamed the secret identity so much as her. [ 10 Of the dumbest secret identities ]

Batman Onomatopoeias
An onomatopoeia is a word or a grouping of words that imitates the
sound it is describing, suggesting its source object, such as 'click,'
'bunk,' 'clang,' or animal noises such as 'oink,' 'slurp,' or 'meow.'
This awesome Spanish website has gathered all onomatopoeias from the Batman comics. Which reminds me, I cannot wait till Wednesday for the screening of the Dark Knight. JEALOUS? Should be. [ Batman Onomatopoeias ]

The 10 manliest superheroes

It seems these Top Tens might become a weekly affair here for the
foreseeable future or until we jump the shark and do a Top Ten with
something about ‘babes’ in comics. God, I’m dreading the day I ever do
it, but we aren’t above making other, very important and very serious,
Top Tens that are formed with an exacting science, applied to rigorous
tests, and made from only the finest ingredients.
Something tells me that Conan is the sensitive type, once you get him alone and away from his giant sword. I for one, am brosefs with Conan and hang out in his throne room occasionally in AoC. So I would know... [ 10 Manliest Superheroes ]

The 10 Batman Figures That Make Even Batman & Robin Seem Somewhat Reasonable
If one thing and one thing alone could sum up the awfulness of Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin movie, it would be the Bat-nipples. For all the ridiculousness of the film, the terrible dialog, the cheesy plot, the inane goofiness, it's those superfluous nipples on both Batman and Robin's normally nipple-less outfits that so eloquently summed up what was wrong.
The mere fact that this list exists has restored my faith in the internet. I think Slalom Racer Batman and I could become the bestest of friends. Even though he has a jetpack and that it completely (COMPLETELY) ruins my theory that bats can't live in snowy conditions. Bats are to me what snakes are to Indiana Jones.

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time
This newly discovered (to me anyway) web comic titled "Bigger Than Cheeses" (which by the way, has a lot to live up to, I mean who doesn't love cheese? Even lactose intolerant people love it) has a strip that pretty much sums up internet memes over the past 7ish years. It's not entirely safe for work due to language so you'll have to go to the link directly to see it in all it's meme-ish glory. [ It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time ]
Link thanks to James F. The web-comic fu is strong with this one.

Garkov
Garfield is a comic strip by Jim Davis, who seems like a pretty good guy. A Markov chain is a probabilistic model well suited to semi-coherent text synthesis.Garkov is an application of the Markov model to transcripts of old Garfield strips, plus some extra code to make it all look like a genuine comic strip. Feel free to screenshot and share Garkov output.
First there was Garfield Minus Garfield. Which was honestly great enough for me to add as a facebook application. I hate facebook applications but my love for someone screwing with Jim Davis' work convinced me to overcome that hate. Josh Millard, the man responsible for Garkov is my Monday morning hero.
