YMMV / The Comics Curmudgeon

• Fan Nickname: Many, many characters that catch either Josh or the readership's eyes have earned these, though for the sake of length, we'll spare listing them all here — check the pages for those strips however.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Josh said this about Dagwood's suit: "If you don't want to draw attention to your status as an ancient relic from another decade, it may be best not to build a strip around the fact that your main character usually struts about in an outfit that nobody in living memory has worn outside of the most formal situations". Cue a year or two later, this exact suit is worn by the Eleventh Doctor who not only made it work (while fighting monsters and running from explosions no less), but also made it fashionable amongst fans (increasing bowtie sales by seventy percent).
• Memetic Mutation: "More zippers, mule!" a line from Apartment 3-G, has spread to other blogs.
• Tear Jerker: His little story made for a simple Family Circus comic is... poignantly sad.
