Special “stuff” delivery, coming right up!

This week's full-text RSS feed is supported by Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half

Hyperbole and a Half is a book with very, very funny words and pictures about subjects both silly (incredibly dumb dogs) and serious (depression). Cliched as it is, you will probably both laugh and cry.

Gasoline Alley, 3/14/14

Well thank goodness the violent chaos is over in Gasoline Alley! Now we can get back to the strip’s stock in trade: long, drawn-out hyperrealism that hammers home the ennui of middle-class American life. Look forward to the next six weeks of “There’s a problem with Sheezix’s tickets,” which ought to rival the mannered intensity of 2012′s “Sheezix tries to return a DVD player” and 2011′s “Sheezix tries to fix his washing machine.”

Mary Worth, 3/14/14

Wow, this strip is suddenly leaning pretty hard on the “Tommy’s salvation is a post office job” thing. Are potential employees so afraid that the financially troubled agency will collapse that it’s being forced to woo the unemployable to apply for jobs with paid storylines in Mary Worth? “Ex-con? Ex-drug addict? Career opportunities in the U.S. Postal Service await you! If you can make mail-related puns in your mind, we want you!”
