Wonkette
Oh why looky here! Wonkette’s own Josh “Comics Curmudgeon” Fruhlinger is getting more famous by the day, and today’s proof is an exclusive Q&A in the elitist New Yorker’s decadent Cartoon Lounge, which is a blog for furries and cartoon fetishists. Let’s see what he has to say about Alex Trebek, cartoon gays, and Mary Worth’s last days.
Alex Trebek and his crew:
Everyone who runs the show is incredibly nice. They do warn you that Alex might go crazy and maul you if you come onto the set smelling of meat, make direct eye contact with him, or try to get between him and his cubs, but that all just struck me as common sense when dealing with such a beautiful and dangerous animal.
The mysterious sexuality of many soap-opera comic-strip characters:
To be fair, the only soap-opera male that I’m absolutely sure is in the closet is Rex Morgan. Sam Driver, the main character in the “Judge Parker” strip these days, just seems disinterested in sex altogether, which has only become more hilarious since a new artist has taken over and made his wife into a ludicrously proportioned sexpot. And Mark Trail’s asexual facade probably covers over layer over layer of almost unspeakable sexual perversion, none of which, I’m reasonably certain, involves human males or females.
Mary Worth’s spectacular end:
I’m pretty sure that the last several weeks of Mary Worth will consist of her cackling maniacally as she stands atop a mountain of the corpses of her victims. Then, in the final strip, a missile from an unmanned Predator drone will destroy her mountain lair, and the final panel will be some grim-faced Special-Ops guy declaring that “we just killed history’s greatest monster.”
In conclusion, Josh Fruhlinger is a credit to his generation, his profession, and to Wonkette, except when he embarrassess himself on Jeopardy.
An Interview with Josh Fruhlinger [The Cartoon Lounge]
Mark Trail always has been waaaaaay to close to that dog of his.
shit. TOO close.
Mark Trail, Rex Morgan and Mary Worth take me back to a simpler time of American perversion.
And no Cartoon Violence last Friday. Ah, Josh, we hardly knew ye. Remember where you and your blog first came to national “prominence.”
Awwww…Josh looked so handsome in his suit and tie with that gorgeous squirrel fur beard that I forgive him for embarrassing us all half to death.
Dubcek? What the fuck were you thinking?
Dubcek? When in doubt ALWAYS go with the classic Cliff Claven response: “Nobody who has ever been in my kitchen.”
Mary Worth is hot, but not as hot as Abbey Spencer and Blondie Bumstead.
Speaking of perversions, I love it when Comics Curmudgeon goes after the Family Circle.
He wrote all the encyclopedias in the world, invented language, is God and The Missing Link.
“Who is Alex Trebek?”
Doesn’t he always act all smug like he knew the answer (question) to the question (answer) before he read it? And his “accent” in all languages cracks me up.
“I’ll take, the rapist.”
trophy(forparticipation)wife: actually he is the origin of man.
shortsshortsshorts:
How about “Swords”?
Rex Morgan should be written like House.
Servo: “That’s uhh, S words.”

That’s okay, we love Wonkette better. More buttsecks.
Congratulations on coming up with the first logical Mary Worth strip, ever.
