Daily Comic Strip Analysis- July 2, 2024

Garfield
Featuring his usual blank expression, Garfield's staring at the open refrigerator for two of the three panels. The joke is in the final panel, where Jon tells him that leftover pizza won't magically appear. Nothing to add to that, just Garfield at its best. 

Zits
Gotta love callbacks to older strips. Today's installment sees Jeremy at his retail job, one of a few jobs he's held over the course of the strip. His first task involves folding a pile of jeans, "just like he would at home", and, of course, he has to call his mom for help. Long-time readers of the strip know that it's a running gag for Jeremy to never hang up or fold his laundry.

Potential Non-Arrowverse Crossover Idea

Borrowing from the 5th Wave movie, a really cool potential idea would be an hourlong special ( potentially from 9p Eastern to 10p Eastern one night? Maybe?) detailing the alien ship from that film passing over the various states in the U.S. This would be a BEHEMOTH ship, as the width would easily be the length from the Canada-Washington border to the very southern tip of California.  9p-9:20p- My idea would have it first move over Los Angeles ( 9-1-1 ) and Seattle ( Grey's Anatomy and Station 19 ) simultaneously.  9:20p-9:40p- Next, Texas would see it, which would bring 9-1-1: Lone Star into the mix.  And the final twenty minutes of the hour would see the Chicago trio (Fire, Med and P.D.) see the ship pass over Illinois.  I just had this idea last night and it might be super complicated but also super cool to pull off, as it would need the cooperation of seven different writers' rooms and also potentially three different TV networks (see below): 9p-9:20p: 9-1-1 ...

Dream-showrunning the Lightning Thief series- ten things I'd implement

1. I'd rename the series to "Half-Blood Chronicles" for a few reasons- it shows the demigod world as bigger then just how Percy sees it and it separates the series from the two (failed attempts at) movies. 2. Casting for main characters would be based on where the books say they're from, so no wide-range casting calls.  3. No screen test with Percy and Annabeth- in the books, they meet for the first time at Camp Half-Blood.   4. An actual, habitable Camp Half-Blood should be built at Long Island.  5. Any year-round campers (like Annabeth) should live on set before principal photography begins.  6. No blooper reels- anything the actors say or do when the cameras are rolling is included in the final take. This is what happens in real life. 7. Whoever's cast as Luke should have camp counselor experience. 8. Whoever's cast as Hestia should not only be eight, but should film her season five scenes during principal photography for season one. 9. Release dates of the...
