It is done. Charges dropped, hands clasped. The tears on the pavement evaporating rapidly under city streetlight. In the early hours of a Los Angeles morning, the former plaintiff and defendant renewed a professional bond.
This is the result. At first, the final panel drew my ire, but I realized that the false Modern Humor Authority […]

It has been brought to the attention of the Modern Humor Authority staff that an old colleague — former colleague as of this moment — has been shaming us publically for at least the past six months, in a venue I was not aware of. I can scarce bring myself to type his name here; […]

The webcomic strip Ctrl-Alt-Del by Tim Buckley has ascended the bloated ranks of gaming comics like a bigger, stronger rat stepping on the heads of its sewage-drowned brothers. Amid the gags about oversized X-Box controllers and the recent melodramatic “house burned down” storyline — which Buckley delivers to us while clutching a hamhock in each […]
One of Darren Bleuel’s profound strengths is his analytical abilities, no doubt stemming from his prior field of discipline as a theoretical physicist. In Wednesday’s Nukees, he has plied this trade in a fashion one would not hesitate to describe as “beyond masterfully.” But like Richard Feynman and his lectative example of the 15-mile-wide water […]
Several hundred people have written in to me in stark, jagged tones regarding the entry our Miss Belpheger made regarding the ending of the Webcomics Examiner. Opinions of the MHA staff members are just that — opinions. And opinions have to be allowed to happen, no matter how unpopular. That’s what an opinion is.
But allow […]
It is with regret some of our affiliate groups mourn the recently-announced “indefinite hiatus” of the Webcomics Examiner.
While many would be satisfied to eulogize, I believe in a different approach. Is it really a shame to thin the field? Webcomics are a new frontier. At the outset, many pundits believed it a positive sign that […]
Now that “Team America: World Police” has narrowly escaped its threatened “NC-17″ rating in the U.S. (equivalent to Canada’s “R” rating — it received an “18A” rating throughout most of Canada), perhaps Ivo Petrov’s “The Green Dollhouse” will finally see daylight.
Petrov created “The Green Dollhouse” by taking a low-budget porno movie, “The Green Room,” and […]
The internet, and the webcomics community especially, is today inundated with crappy reviews and untrustworthy sources. On top of this, webcomic popularity can be a red herring when the sophisticated Modern Humor Authority reader attempts to find a new webcomic of choice. How, then, does an intelligent reader sate his lust for quality? […]
The Sims 2, Maxis’ sequel to the best-selling computer game of all time, has already moved one million in its first week. Is there anywhere to go but up? It is one of very few games that can claim true cross-market appeal, joining the ranks of Super Mario Brothers and Tomb Raider in terms of […]
Friend Joey Tribbiani, of the fabled and now-completed American television show Friends, has ensconced himself in popular consciousness as an everyman one-and-a-half steps behind the everyman. Fortunately for Matt Le Blanc, the program that signed his checks is lodged more firmly in the esophagus of our hearts than even an ultimate-orange-pounding Heimlich could account for. […]
