The Best of the Phat Phree 2005
One of my favorite things on the site is the comics section. There is something about taking those innocent characters from Family Circus or Judge Parker and giving them real dysfunction, or in some cases, dark criminal predilictions.
The comics section really hit its stride during the 10-part Jacket Series, and the addition of the comments to the comics late in the year, really made for some fun when reading the commenter's suggestions.
So here are my picks for the ten best comics from 2005, in no particular order.:
still has me laughing. I haven't read that one before.

You might be right. D goes a long way just to make a point with his treatises, so can man-on-man buttlove be far behind?
I have D pegged as the guy who had to hang out with kids who were a few grades younger than him during junior/high. They tolerated him as long as he gave them rides and cigarettes.

Who came up with The Jacket and Abused Family Circus?
They're brilliant!

I think the Abused Family Circus was originally Chad Zumock, although Jimmy Colo does alot of them. And The Jacket was Charlie. But other people seem to do some of them too.

Chad and Charlie started doing the comics back in the old print days of the Phat Phree in 1996. I believe one of CZ's Abused Phamily Circus' was the first one. Tons of our regualr writer's have contributed to the comics section at one time or another, but Mr. Colo has a certain knack (read: dark criminal prediliction) for them that many lack.

"I can't get over how comfortable this blazer is..."
Use that sentence in real life when you arent wearing a blazer and stare at yourself admiring an invisible jacket. Enjoy the stares and flee when they dial the hospital. Seriously run.
