Bunky Hinkerton trying to do a geometry-based joke is like watching
a chimp try to drive a produce truck just because he likes bananas. The
ending is always disastrous.
 
Sloth Alert: Speaking of chimps chumps, Bunky's pal Rocco made the
mistake of burping up a trite phrase at the wrong time. Because, as we
all know, when Bunky makes a bad cartoon, God kills a kitten.

Conservative's don't want your children to think for themselves.
They want to constrain little minds early so they won't ask
inconvenient questions. That's why they fear the kind of
liberal education that
develops the imagination and lets the child know there are
always new way to do things.
No Child Left Behind purposely restricts your childs education
to just enough math, English and science to pass
a
rote exam,
thus ensuring a new sub-class of drones to unquestioningly
continue being good little consumers, and not much else.
Bruce Tinsley... always good for an ironic laugh.

The
Far Left Side |
There
are basically two kinds of people who come to this web site:
those that can't get enough of one man endlessly venting his
spleen over something totally inconsequential, like the Quigs,
and those who have really low standards in comics.
For both types of readers I have something new to share... The
Far Left Side. It's a politically-based rip-off of the long-gone-but-not-forgotten
"Far Side" comic strip. The Quigmans, in case you aren't
aware, is itself a rip-off of The Far Side, too, just 25
years farther along into the fermentation process. That explains
the aroma stench.
The strips have been created and
offered to the public in fits and
starts
since 2006
but
since
January of 2008 they're
on
a regular three-times-a-week schedule, posted at 12AM.
Unlike Gary Larson's strip which was generally politically
neutral, though subtly chaotic-left, the Far Left Side
dips heavily into the progressive spectrum and, thus, will automatically
offend the philosophic sensibilities of about 50% of anyone who
reads them. But at least I offend people on purpose, unlike Buddy
who has no alternative.

Whither
Buddywatch?
Quigmans.com
exists primarily to accurately illustrate a picture of the world's
second laziest and lousiest comic artist, Buddy Hickerson, creator
of The Quigmans. The honor of First Place for the most avoidable
comic strip goes to Jim Davis, he of Garfield fame, who seems
to have been sent by Satan himself to single-handedly rip the
heart out of the comics industry.
No other comic strip has the quite the same odorous pedigree as
a Quigmans cartoon. If Buddy's not writing it, he's not drawing
it, and on the occasions that he may or may not be drawing it
he's either using jokes that may have been used as many as FIVE
times before or is using the gag in a way that violates U.S. copyright
laws. Sometimes he neither writes nor draws the days strip and
in these instances you have to say to yourself "What's the
fucking point, Hick?". In almost all cases the joke
is never actually funny, inciteful, or inventive. Leave out ironic,
conceptual, or provocative, too. But if you need a joke about
fat people, Bud's your man.
My opinion, of course, but I'm not
alone in them.
I've been notating Buddy Hickerson's particular brand of sloth
for thirteen years now, a number to which I attach modest personal
pride, but a quick click of the History
button will lay bare the reasons for one man's marginal obsession
with this fourth-rate comic strip. You can also view the Proof
pages for actual examples of Buddy's sloth. Consider yourself
warned.
This site is bound to disillusion many starry-eyed acolytes to
all things Quiggish but if you decide a point has been adequately
presented then feel free to contact Buddy, his syndicate, or me
by clicking the contact
link. Get it off your chest. You'll feel better in the morning.
Thanks for
dropping by, have fun exploring the site, enjoy the snark and
I hope your time spent here leaves you a wiser consumer.
