Toll Troll

Believe it or not, late-night talk show hosts have special powers, and from time to time they use said powers for evil. Take, for example, Jimmy Kimmel’s request last week that people record what happens when they turn off the television during the Super Bowl. Here is a collection of the results that were broadcast [...]

Artistic License

My wife and I spent the weekend in Chicago. She had meetings and I had family. Productivity and fun times occurred. Most importantly, Chicago-style pizza was consumed. I don’t take sides in many issues. During my years on this planet I’ve learned that neither side is “right.” Also, I’m not a huge fan of arguing. [...]

Following Through On His Threat

I don’t believe Woody ever planned to go down the path he joked about with Isabel in a previous strip. But when the cat ain’t where you need it to be, and you’re standing on a monologue stage with a camera pointed at you, you gotta go with what you know. Late Night with Jimmy [...]

Kitty No-Show

Happy February! We should all be congratulated for making it through January, which is easily the fourth hardest month of the year. Nice job everyone. Eat a cupcake. Woody mentioned it at the beginning of Tuesday’s late-night show review, but it bears repeating: David Letterman celebrates a huge milestone this week: 30 years of late-night [...]

Coming Up Next 9

It’s our first animated comic! How you like us now? No more than you did before today? Oh, ok. Paul did a great job putting this strip together. I asked him if every comic could have animation in it. His response actually hurt my ears, which is weird cause it was in an email. So, [...]

Back On His Feet

Here’s a great little nugget from Denver about Checkered Man in today’s comic: When [Checkered Man] sighs in panel two and replies “I guess so” that’s because he doesn’t like the name “Checkered Man” but it was given to him by Penelope and since he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings…well…it’s kind of stuck with [...]

One-Point Landing

Woody is nothing if not a soft touchdown for superheroes in need. When you’re the host of your own show you will understand this. Until then you just need to trust me…with your money. Tales of a Checkered Man updates every Tuesday. That means there was an update yesterday. And that means there is one [...]

The comic Tales Of A Checkered Man is written and illustrated by Denver Brubaker. Please go over and check it out. The stories are fun and the art [...]

The Late-Night Talk Show Host’s Speech

I think Woody had some good points in his speech to Isabel. It certainly would have worked on me. Thanks for stopping by and hanging out with us. Paul and I really appreciate it. Please have some cookies, we baked too many. Some of them have peanuts in case you’re allergic. Have a great weekend. [...]

Three Wise Assess

A couple of articles about late-night television for your reading pleasure today: First, Letterman’s comedy booker is in trouble for comments he made in a NY Times article about booking female comedians on the show. Second, the AV Club agrees with the NY Times in thinking that Jimmy Fallon has come a long and positive [...]
