Huh? It's not about loving or not loving the comics. It is annoying that someone posts the same comics over and over again. Very original, though, for you to ask if I've got my period.

They aren't the same comics over and over again. They are by the same artist, but the drawings are appropriate for the threads in which they're posted. They've been giving me a good chuckle.

Are you the one posting them?

I have noticed this, too. It seems to have started recently. I'm a huge Nick G. fan, so they really caught my eye.

NP here. I find them to be funny.

Nope. That thread was way better.

Is he/she possibly the author of the comics? I know you have more important things to do but it's really annoying me.

The poster almost always posts only images. Frequently, those images are the comics of the type to which you linked. But, the poster inks to all kinds of images. I guess that's just how the poster likes to communicate. I don't really seeing it as being disruptive and hadn't even noticed it until this thread.

I think they are kind of irritating because they are so large. I would prefer a link.

I clicked through one of the links posted above...they're not very big at all. And a link really would defeat the purpose of the visual "response". I don't really see why anyone would have a problem with seeing an image for a moment as they scroll through a thread.

+1. The comics are hilarious in the threads I've seen them in.

The comics are way better than Carolyn Hax's advice.

The person uses Nick Galifianakis' cartoons to convey a point, just as others use words and postings to convey theirs. It's a valid form of communication. I find your complaints about the cartoons to be annoying, but I'm not appealing to Jeff to censor you. If it annoys you, just ignore them. As has been mentioned, they are not the same comics. Nick has been creating the cartoons for Carolyn Hax's daily column for many years so there are thousands of his comics. He creates them for a specific column and topic, but his humorous view of human foibles is often spot on for a number of situations as this poster has found. Stop whining. I for one would prefer to continue to see them.

The comic artist is Nick Galifianakis.

Thanks, now I have learned something from the comic posting. He is Carolyn Hax's ex-husband.

If you want more info, Nick is also the first cousin of comic actor Zach Galifianakis. And the dog that used to be in many of the comics was the dog, Zuzu which Carolyn and Nick jointly had before they divorced. Zuzu went with Nick after the divorce. And although he rarely penned columns instead of artwork, he wrote a touching tribute to Zuzu when she died in 2010.

Perhaps you should reread my OP. I never asked for anyone to be censored. I asked questions about the person posting them and said I found them annoying. It's my opinion; get over it. If my opinion annoys you, take a tip from your post: stop whining and ignore my post.
