The best 5 minutes I've spent online all day! Only I'm reading this at night...

The thing that makes it work is the notebook format, like some high school kid is scribbling it under his desk.
It may not be the most brilliant or original thing ever, but at the same time it's asinine to berate people for enjoying it; everyone's sense of humour has its juvenile side, which needs to be indulged every now and then.

That said, couldn't people just throw some jpegs up onto their site when they do stuff like this, instead of pissing around with things like that totally uncalled-for wanky slideshow widget that piddles around loading itself when you first get to the site?

Hmmmmmmmm... Since when "easily amused" is bad?

You guys are REALLY easily amused. Those were just crude and dumb. If it was a gag just appearing on some fanfic writer's blog I bet the reaction would be nowhere near as enthusiastically positive. The only one that was funny was the Mystique turning into a couch one.

"If that is what you think is hilarious, I donâ€™t wanna know what do you think it can be stupidâ€¦ Or childish stupidâ€¦ Or obnoxiously childish stupidâ€¦"

Your comment?

That was awesome. The Invisible Woman one is definitely the highlight!

Katherine, I think the fact that people even think about stuff like that, or the fact that someone would think of it and seriously document it as a story idea, is the joke.

That sounds like a dare to me.

That was not even remotely funny, less original than 90% of the stories on fanfiction.net, and, frankly, rather tame. I've had filthier ideas for Marvel comics in church. Not trying hard enough, Mr Zdarsky.

This was funny, so kindly ignore the prudes. (It was labeled "not safe for work!" What did you think it was? Puppies?) "Knob Gobblin'" is the funniest thing all I read day.

Best episode of Family Guy I've seen in years.

Well, it made me laugh.

And it also made me look at the other stuff on there. Nice work Chip, I enjoyed your comics.

How old are you all? Eleven? Six?

This is vile and disgusting. I expected better from CBR.

Wait, is this supposed to be the latest Comic Critics?

Funniest thing I've read at work that I really shouldn't have.

Well, that was thoroughly repulsive.

Thanks, Brian, I loved it!
