Great stuff this time. Good commentary as well. The strip has clearly gone from mildly amusing to pretty funny.

Good strip, b-b-b-boys.

Also, that penguin costume is awesome....

Okay.

I'll admit, I've been harsh on this comic.

I don't feel bad about that.

But this edition? Hilarious. Best one so far. Fantastic. LOL funny.

Bwa-hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

It's so trendy to like this strip now.
I am going against the trend and my taste and hating this strip.

What? Who is she supposed to be?

Ha! That, that was hilarious.

Hey! A setup and punchline! Huzzah!

Nice job with this one, you guys are definitely finding your stride!

Love it! I just explained to a group of students about the Women-in-Refrigerators group and this comic offers a delightfully dark feminist commentary. Go, go, Comics Critic!

Well played!

The look on her face in the last panel sells the joke.

Very well done. I do agree, it's possibly the best yet.

What? Who is she supposed to be?

Good strip this week!

Ha! Bravo!

Hot damn that was good!

Where the beginning ones extra awful on purpose to make these later ones seem extra brilliant by comparison? Because lately you guys are hitting it out of the park!

And to the people who whined all along that we were too hard on these guys in the beginning, you can't say that we don't give props when props are due.

OMG! 0.0

I had to check DanCJ's link to see what was she wearing and God, it's freaking morbid/hilarous. Kind of laugh and cry thing, heehee.

Still, pretty good one :)

Wow..that's 2 good ones in a row!

Cronin was right...Draken + Miss Sinister does = the apocalypse

Were the beginning ones extra awful on purpose to make these later ones seem extra brilliant by comparison? Because lately you guys are hitting it out of the park!

If you looked back at the comments to the early ones, it seems the praise started out pretty high, then hit a lull. Even then, the constructive criticism wasn't so annoying (it seems like Brandon is putting more effort into the backgrounds, which is great), but the comments of "why is this still on CBR?", "I don't know who Brad Meltzer is, so this isn't funny", and "three different strips about Batman porn, that sucks!" were getting tiresome. It boiled down to "Stupid free entertainment! Be funnier!", like the commentators expected every strip to be tailored to their knowledge and taste.

I'm actually surprised there has been only one person who didn't get it so far and that they didn't blame it on Sean and Brandon.

Okay, this was actually quite good.

Brrrrrrrrrrrr-ha-brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-ha-brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I agree with everyone else. This stuff is really getting better with each installment.

"like the commentators expected every strip to be tailored to their knowledge and taste."

That's what they expect from all the other comics they read, so why should this be any different?

That costume is amazing. I'm still cracking up over it.

Very funny!

Let me echo what others have said:

So far this comic has been mildly amusing, take it or leave it. THIS ONE? Really really good. I hope more of this kind of satire comes through in future installments.

You know, these are better Clerks comics than many of the actual Clerks comics.
