Live from New York (where I am for MoCCA), it's your Friday night online strips! (FYI, Daily OCD and Things to See will return next week.)
Get that lady another drink in this week's The House of No by Derek Van Gieson ...
...friends helping friends in this week's Blecky Yuckerella strip by Johnny Ryan ....
...and get ready for some great sound effects in this week's Barack Hussein Obama by Steven Weissman .
Sorry you had to wait all weekend for our weekly online strips!
That's one grumpy-looking cat in this week's The House of No by Derek Van Gieson ...
...but that horse doesn't look as grumpy as you might expect in this week's Blecky Yuckerella strip by Johnny Ryan ....
...and now Steven Weissman says he wants to give B.C. a run for its money with this week's one-day-too-late Barack Hussein Obama strip.

Daily clips & strips -- click for improved viewing at the sources:

• Thank goodness Renee French is giving the teeth a rest — this guy's name is Rocky
• From Hans Rickheit , page 17 of Ectopiary and another unpublished Cochlea & Eustachia strip
• All those nutty Derek Van Gieson pages I've been posting here lately? They're part of his self-published Whiskey Is the Key Says Me , available at the MoCCA fest in a couple weeks
• What it says on the tin: Noah Van Sciver depicts scenes from a juggalo concert for the Denver Westword
• Steven Weissman 's peanut butter & jelly ice cream sandwiches and the illustrated tags thereof (I sure hope he's not kidding about that recipe book)
• The continuation of Gabrielle Bell 's new Lucky story "Manifestation"
• "Red Haired Girl in a Pattern Vest " by Mark Kalesniko
Sorry about the messed-up update schedule lately!
The man, the myth in this week's The House of No by Derek Van Gieson ...
...but what about World War III? Find out in this week's Blecky Yuckerella strip by Johnny Ryan ....
...and Steven Weissman thinks he's turning into Doonesbury with this week's Barack Hussein Obama strip but I don't see it.
