Bestest Blog of the Day: 08/26/2006

Irish's Cartoons
Welcome to our 2nd edition of "Premium Saturdays," where we feature one of our Premium Blogs for the day.
Click here to find out how to become a Premium Blog!

Today, our winner is not only a Premium Blog, but "Bestest Blog of the Month" for August 2006 (as you can see in the top right corner there). And to tell you the truth, this blog is deserving of every honor my site can bestow on it (and probably lots of awards from other sites too!).

This blog features the cartoons of Mr. Irish. They are expertly drawn and very funny and witty. "Witty" I think is a great compliment because it implies a level of originality, not that hackneyed garbage you see in lots of comics like "Fred Basset."

Mr. Irish's cartoons are "Far Side" style, meaning one single square panel. In fact, "Far Side" isn't a bad comparison for the type of humor either (which is another great compliment, because I do love "Far Side"). But, honestly, I think Mr. Irish's actual drawings are better, they've got a unique style like nothing I've ever seen before.

So, I thought I'd share some of my favorite comics here: When Garlic Makes a Stand!, Young Minds, Cat Astrophe, Dating, and B Movies. All of these (and many others) gave me a genuine chuckle and I'm sure they'll give you one too.

So, head on over and check out Mr. Irish and "Irish's Cartoons". He really loves comments, so don't be afraid to leave some and any that give you a laugh...(and of course, mention who sent you in those comments)

Those were good!! The dating one is pretty dang clever. I have always loved the Far Side, but what I have always enjoyed more is trying to explain them to someone that just didn't get them. Some folks can stare at a far side for an hour and just not comprehend it. It cracks me up!!

those are soooo funny!!!

this is besides the point, but could you move my blog, Waiting, Wishing, to the computer/technology section? I tend to talk more and more about it and less and less about litterature.
thank you

I don't know if he's even heard of your site, but he's an awesome writer. He's a funny, down to earth, and deep thinking HIV+ guy. His blog is rather random at times, but so insightful. It's almost like he's right there with you. I just came across your page awhile after finding his, give his a look: dirtylittlehomos.blogspot.com

Been on a bit of a hiatus, but I had to break that to write this post.  This may be the bestest blog, but I think I just found the bestest gift ideas site .  Ok, imagine this.  You need to get a gift for your aunt from Cleveland.  You know she likes the Cleveland Browns and quilting, but that's about it. So what do you do?  You panic and you buy her whatever Yankee candle strikes your fancy in the store that day.  But what you should do is go to GiftedIdea.com .  You tell them about your aunt from Cleveland and they'll come up with a whole bunch of relevant gift ideas.  Who is "they"?  Well, they have a team of gift experts  called the Idea Team.  They crowdsource the ideas for you.  Pretty cool, right?  It's certainly a fun idea and I wish them all the success they can find.
