Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
The main problem with newspaper comics is the sound they make while theyāre being read because this is cattle country and we donāt take kindly to rustlers.
So quick to start sh!t, we are. The line has been drawn. Cheetle fingers on one side, news print fingers on the other. Just try and take a silly putty print of your digital āartā or digital cheetle, and get back to me.
What do you call a beetle who wanders through Cheetos dust? A Cheetle.
My joke. If anyone else thought of this joke first, I didnāt see it. It was a coincidence. Besides, as a loyal reader of FA, Iāve had plenty of exposure to lameness.
When your local newspaper is printed in another state, and costs more than an Amazon Prime subscription, you have to think about whether it is a value that compares with its cost.
Sunset yellow FCF colored (Cheetle) fingers on the left, Titanium dioxide colored (powdered doughnut) fingers on the right ā¦ mmmmm ā¦ a match made only in Froglandia ā¦!
You can lick your fingers, and you can lick your cheetle fingers, but you canāt lick Don Cheetleās fingers. You just arenāt cool enough. Darn Don, doesnāt he know lame is the new cool? So, don your darn cheetle fingers and give Don the cheetle dusted bird, for comic effect, digitally.

9. (Other Witnesses) Brass Orchid (who was mulling over several clever responses), Randy B (who looked up from his chemistry experiment from time to time), rad-ish (who thought the whole thing bourgeois and boring), painedsmile (trying to relax his face), and Space Captain Cody [G (who was looking away, but secretly listening the whole time).
10. This is the first time Iāve complained about this.
Note: Since I have boundless fondness and admiration for the commentariat, I really wanted to include everybody, but my brained pooped out, and then my fingers did.
Back when newspapers were newspapers, distinctive and individualistic, when broadsheets really were broadsheets and tabloids were considered a lesser species, I preferred my comics in print (actually, in those days, there was no other way). But now, newspapers are mostly lock-step rags, and if they publish comics at all they have been shrunken down to near-illegibility. Times have changed. I now read comics exclusively online, at a number of chosen sites, and can usually magnify the strips if necessary, or view the same strip at an alternate site where it is larger. And so it goes, Sweetie, purveyor of apophthegmsā¦.

Whoa. Wait. I looked it up. FAās Fifteenth was actually in December of 2021. I used this age calculator to come up with FAās āageā:

In your face, Randy_B! For once, I feel cheetle-y proud of myself for making a profound contribution to the comments section.

Most hummingbird nests are 1.5 inches in diameter, roughly the size of a large walnut, ping-pong ball, or golf ball.
The average length of a Cheeto is 1.68 inches.

You know youāre rich when you are able to hire people to dip their fingers in Cheetle and wait for you to lick them.

So where does that leave newspaper comics creators? In a Cheetle-free wasteland?

Like the Queen of England, one can celebrate oneās anniversary whenever they like.A true fifteen year-old would want to be more on point.
I, however, celebrate āFrog Applauseā every damn day.
