Better than Garfield. Not that that's much of a compliment, but still... posted by spoobnooble at 6:49 AM on July 20, 2007

Those are not bad at all compared to the crap that most people think of when you mention comics. You want to see 200 bad comics, just collect your local paper's comics page for a couple of weeks. *figured about 40 people would express this exact same sentiment, but as I am here early I will just go ahead and be the first to say it*

I laughed. The off-kilter, sort-of-not-funny thing reminds me of WhiteNinjaComics. Sometimes inscrutable; sometimes so bad I can't help laughing. posted by Mock Turtle at 6:54 AM on July 20, 2007
No, it's like Perry Bible Fellowship but also very different and resulting from a challenge to draw bad comics. posted by ORthey at 7:06 AM on July 20, 2007
Ha! This is fantastic. posted by cortex at 7:12 AM on July 20, 2007

Jim's Journal is actually one of the funniest comics ever, but you have to read about twenty of them in a row to see that.
(And these comics are great, too.) posted by interrobang at 7:15 AM on July 20, 2007
It all goes downhill pretty quickly after number 50. It goes from faux-bad to actually bad. That said, these are worth checking out: 21 24 25 42 46. posted by damn dirty ape at 7:16 AM on July 20, 2007

No, my wife has a couple Jim's Journals books so I've read more than 20 in a row. In fact, I'd say it works like this:
Reading < 5: Not funny
Reading >5 but <20: Funny
Reading >20: OK, I get it. Now be funny for reals. posted by DU at 7:20 AM on July 20, 2007
Jim Davis was obviously the guest author of number 9. posted by sourwookie at 7:23 AM on July 20, 2007

These are great! Its like a less offensive Dear Me (which appears to have died, alas.) posted by ninebelow at 7:25 AM on July 20, 2007
damn dirty ape, I agreed at first, but I found they picked up again and some of the later ones are just as great. posted by ORthey at 7:25 AM on July 20, 2007
Compared to 200 randomly-selected strips of "B.C.," "Momma" or "Marmaduke," this collection will provide more laughs. I enjoyed it. posted by Faint of Butt at 7:30 AM on July 20, 2007
1 down 39 to go FoB. Also this is a glimpse inside my tortured soul. Tortured with thoughts of awesomeness. posted by ND¢ at 7:39 AM on July 20, 2007

#22 is good enough to be printed on t-shirts and sold at the mall. posted by Clay201 at 7:52 AM on July 20, 2007
I actually really like these in the same way I like the aforementioned White Ninja Comics: they're both so hilariously absurd/disturbing/nonsensical that I can't help but love them.
This is one of my favorites. I don't know why. It makes me bust out laughing. Maybe it's the way the bunny indicates that he was hit by lightning... posted by malthas at 8:04 AM on July 20, 2007
Oh, yeah. Forgot to say "Thanks, Prospero!" posted by malthas at 8:05 AM on July 20, 2007

I agree with many of you, that I got more laughs from these than I have gotten in a year of Sundays from the regular comics pages.
Nice. Thanks Prospero. posted by genefinder at 8:26 AM on July 20, 2007
Seriously, you're praising a guy for failing? Because he failed his mission, you know. On an epic scale. Where oh where is the MetaFilter Snark Brigade when you need it?
The last panel of #11, for some reason, makes me laugh every single time. Man. posted by ORthey at 8:57 AM on July 20, 2007
I'd rather see any of these on the funnies page than Cathy, Family Circus, 9 Chickweed Lane, Sally Forth, etc., etc., etc. posted by blucevalo at 9:01 AM on July 20, 2007
When I clicked the link, I expected to see a list of anime-themed webcomics, which have been scientifically proven to be the worst comics ever created. Yes, even that one that you really like. It's okay. Really. I mean, I like White Ninja, so who am I to throw stones? posted by robocop is bleeding at 9:07 AM on July 20, 2007
Reminds me of the Bad Art Collection, except that the BAC was actually bad. 200 Bad Comics are actually good. posted by lekvar at 9:12 AM on July 20, 2007

Well, you can't fault Jhonen V. for misleading you. I mean, it's right there in the title...

I came in to say "couldn't you have at least linked to one good one?" but read the link first, and sure enough, lots of them made me giggle. Thanks for the link! posted by davejay at 9:50 AM on July 20, 2007
This was awesome. Thank you. Explosm is cool too. posted by BlackLeotardFront at 11:02 AM on July 20, 2007
It's like Jim's Journal, only funny.
Okay, that's not gonna fly. I could argue that Jim's Journal, by authorial intent or not, blows past anti-humor and into a still, white-light meditation on the atomic structure of a post-adolescent life. Or I could go after DU's kneecaps with this aluminum bat while yelling "FUNNY!".
I beg to differ! Jim's Journal is genius! In fact, I named my cat after Jim's cat in the strip, Mr.Peterson! posted by newfers at 11:15 AM on July 20, 2007
Dammit dammit dammit. I was saving up, just about to post this. Oh well...Nedroid's regular comics are just as pants-wettingly funny as these bunch... and he's a MeFite, too! posted by 40 Watt at 11:25 AM on July 20, 2007
#30 made me laugh out loud. The rest are incredibly dry, but in a good way! posted by Dome-O-Rama at 11:39 AM on July 20, 2007
quin, my point was that the BAC lived up to its reputation, while 200 Bad Comics fails to suck. posted by lekvar at 12:24 PM on July 20, 2007
I like how the art gets steadily better as they go along. The first ones are messy, the last ones look nicely stylized. posted by JHarris at 4:49 PM on July 20, 2007
These are fantastic and hilarious! Thanks for the post. posted by LeeJay at 6:37 PM on July 20, 2007
