GET IT!?! SURFING THE WEB!?!

I also like that they're considerate enough to put "Desperate Housewives Spoof" on the top of every page, just in case anyone is having trouble figuring out that it's a parody. It's nice to know they're looking out for us.

Whoops, lost an L from the end of the link there. You owe it to yourself to append it on so you can see the brilliance of this comic.

You see, the teenager says she's surfing the web... but she's actually on a literal spider's web.

Seriously, this thing could radically change humor as we know it. As a species, we've just taken our first steps into a larger, wackier world.

Aw, I'm just kidding. The comic's not my cup of tea, but then, I've never seen the show it's parodying, so what do I know?

On the 'Enh to Blegh' apathy scale, this ranks a Meh.

This one would be better if it were a one panel strip made of just the first panel.

Actually I think the "Desperate Houseflies" title is great. The comic itself doesn't do much for me, but hey, different strokes.

It got better as it went along. Never got great, but I liked it.
