If you’re like me and haven’t done any gift buying or making yet, maybe one of these will inspire you. Or not, and you’ll disappoint your friends and family yet again.
Although the Christmas shipping deadline for the Holiday Bargain has [...]
Over the weekend, Coire made the Gingerbread Darwins from last week’s comic a reality and sent me a picture.
A little known fact about Big Fat Whale is that it is the Martha Stewart Living of alt-weekly comics.
[...]I’m finally back home and settling in. While I’m catching up on emails and RSS feeds, here’s a reminder that I can only guarantee delivery before Christmas for orders placed by the end of Monday, the 14th. It’s too late to guarantee international orders, but they might get to you [...]
This cartoon is more about including atheists in the winter holiday festivities than taking the piss out of Christians like I did in 2007. But you can include this in your War on Christmas lists and pass it around too. [...]
Another extended road trip means another Book Bin pulled out of the recurring bits file. I repeated a joke from the 24 Cent Book Bin because I lacked internet access to double check myself. As long as publishers continue [...]
Sorry I haven’t been able to keep up with the BFW Quickies while I’m on this Mid-Atlantic trip. Packing, unpacking, and cursing at the dumb, bossy lady who lives inside of my GPS has seriously hampered my production schedule.
But with the help of a six-year-old fan of Star Wars: The [...]
The internet is hard to come by where I’m at in Pennsylvania, so here’s today’s late update. I’ll post more when I get back to Philly and Baltimore.
Next Week: 25 Cent Book Bin

Nobody listens to Krugman. He needs to be appointed the Pope of the Treasury if we’re ever going to get out of this economic shit-pickle. These ideas are goofs, but the first stimulus only slowed down the freefall. (Think of it [...]
It must be fake movie week here in alt-weekly comic land, because Ruben Bolling did one called Peek-A-Boo.
I remember going to the Blockbuster (née Endless Video) in the late eighties and being fascinated by the covers for what seemed like an' [...]
Obviously this isn’t true. Plenty of men would hit on the flu virus if it had big tits and a tramp stamp of its own. And I bet it would look a lot like Tila Tequila.
Also, cough into your elbows, you sick fucks! I don’t want your [...]
If you don’t dick around on the web, this probably won’t make much sense to you. But if you’re not dicking around online, there’s no way you’d be reading my blog. So I’m gonna call you out as a dirty liar.
I did [...]
Aw, jeez Maine. I thought you were cool. Then you went and turned Portland into Maine’s Austin. Was your vote a result of Jumping Frenchmen of Maine Syndrome and the sudden stimuli of out-of-state funded political ads?
Rhode Island is on notice too. Gay marriage [...]
For this week’s BFW Quickie, I was going to draw a quick sketch of Lieberman as a hemorrhoid on the sphincter of congress (Its reformhole, if you will.), then I saw Jen’s depiction of him as an intestinal blockage. A couple hours after that, I read David Rees’ hilarious [...]
Consider this the companion piece to this cartoon. In another three years, when these two quagmires are still dragging on, I might do another comic where they team up in a drug-fueled raunchy comedy, kind of like Harold and Kumar.
A couple [...]
Goofy gravestones are an excellent indicator of a house that’s giving out quality Halloween candy.
Not enough Halloween comics for you? Check out The Urban Blah everyday this week!
[...]
Sorry if this offends real life flame-retards. I couldn’t come up with another joke to take its place because I spent too much time time vacillating between using jizz stain and cum stain in the last panel. Although the latter' [...]
I only recently became aware of this Latisse prescription eyelash medicine bullshit because I canceled my subscription to Lady Maxim last year.
Since these pharmaceutical wizards are too busy making dicks and eyelashes bigger to find a cure for cancer, the least they can do is make [...]
I started out with a cartoon mocking Glenn Beck, but my mind drifted off into absurd areas and my raging hatred of Cokie Roberts and Peggy Noonan.
Next Week: Halloween Tips n’ Tricks
Face transplants, hand transplants, tooth-eyes. Why are so many recent medical advances so fucking disgusting?
I’ve got the little organ donor heart on my license, but I’ll be damned if some handless stranger gets mine and jerks off with them.
Due to an equipment failure, I [...]
Mike, who previously pulled a Full-Lincoln, threw a couple bucks to my favorite animal shelter, and as a result, he got this doodle up on the blog, as per his specifications.
If you want me to be your picture bitch, donate, then send me [...]
In the lounge of the garage where I was getting my catalytic converter fixed, I swear I must’ve seen 5 separate daytime court TV shows. Luckily there were some recent Sports Illustrateds to keep me entertained.
I’m now calling these weekly tablet exercises BFW Quickies, which gives me [...]
No matter how many elections Democrats have won, a handful of centrists have been enacting the same do-nothing “compromises” on the party since the nineties.
When the Republicans got a paper thin 51% majority, they were able to pass all sorts of partisan [...]
Because of the shitty economy, the MSPCA had to close a bunch of branches, including the one in my hometown of Brockton. Fortunately, several cool-ass folks who worked at that branch formed a new organization; and with the help of the MSPCA, which granted a free [...]
This year’s crop of new shows is pretty crappy. Except for Hoarders. Those slobs are fascinating.
Next Week: Bad-Ass Baucus
[...]
I drew this entirely on a tablet for practice. I’ll try to make the Tuesday Toon a semi-regular feature on the blog to force me to improve. Hopefully it can become a great way to purge some of the dumber ideas from my brain.
Now that Stephen Lynch has dropped his sorry ass out of the race for Kennedy’s seat, I don’t really have much of an opinion on who should get it. I’m leaning towards my current rep, Mike Capuano, but Martha Coakley isn’t that [...]
Tune in to this space, or follow me on Twitter at 10pm tonight as I bitch and moan throughout Jay Leno’s debut in his brand-new timeslot. Will I survive? Will comedy? Let’s find out!
UPDATE: I’m glad that’s over. I was surprised how similar it was [...]
This was inspired in part by Domino’s Bread Bowl Pastas, one of the more recent disgusting developments in food-science gone horribly wrong. I originally wanted to link right to Domino’s menu, but somehow added one of those monstrosities to a shopping [...]
Tuesday night, Phill Jupitus took me along on his annual Fenway Hajj. I can’t thank him enough for letting me park my broke-ass in the front row of the Green Monster with him. It’s a rarity for me to even see the games in HD. (I usually tune into [...]
I’m going camping for the holiday weekend, so no lengthy post here. All I’ll add is that the entire time I was drawing this, I couldn’t get this racist part of UHF out of my head:
Next Week: Bread Town
Thanks to everyone who braved the remnants of Danny and came out to Saturday’s slideshow. It was a lot of fun, and I hope it was for you too. (Thanks for the beans Dan!)
One of the slides featured my first comic strip, DAP, which I drew when I was 10-years-old. [...]
This summer, Americans made GI Joe and Transformers 2 blockbusters. Of course, many fine films that weren’t for retarded man-children also came out this year. I’ll talk about them when I finally see them; probably in the fall, while I’m in the throes [...]
Mike Miliard and I chatted, and he converted my ums, ahs, and grunts into an article about Big Fat Whale, Saturday’s slideshow, and the state of alt-weekly comics.
Also in this week’s issue, Mike has a funny interview with John Oliver, of The Daily Show and Bugle [...]
Contrary to the message of the cartoon this image was taken from, Ted Kennedy was one of the few Democrats on Capitol Hill who showed a spine and called out the Iraq debacle for what it was/is. Although I think he didn’t do enough [...]
Is Smack Down one or two words? TRICK QUESTION! I don’t care.
Thanks to Barney Frank, the nutbars at these things are starting to get the lack of respect they deserve. Now if only adults were allowed to speak at these [...]
I have a condition that causes me to point and shout “BABY SAFE HAVEN!” whenever I see one of those signs. I do the same for “MOOSE CROSSING” signs, but those never show up while I’m walking on a crowded [...]
I ignored the Mad Men Yourself avatars for the past two weeks, but I finally succumbed. That shit is surprisingly accurate, yo!
[...]
I don’t know who Harry Reid blew to become the Senate Majority Leader, but he must be a fantastic fellator; especially if his BJs are as toothless as his leadership skills.
The millions of dollars given to the Blue Dogs by [...]
Good news folks! CWA friend and colleague Keith Knight will be joining me at The Burren Saturday, August 29th, 4-7PM.
Just two miles away from where Henry Louis Gates and Sgt. James Crowley infamously became bestest buds, Keef and I will be holding a [...]
I only watched the cartoon and TV show, but this cartoon owes a lot to The Tick.
Next Week: Secretly Replacing Harry Reid
[...]I went camping in Coleman State Park way up in northern New Hampshire last weekend. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys camping far away from pampered campers and their giganto RVs.
There is wildlife all over the park, especially loons and moose. But the big surprise was capturing [...]
I’m going camping this weekend, and I wrote this comic to prepare myself. By the time you read this, I’ll probably be deep in the New Hampshire woods, getting mauled by a Libertarian bear.
Don’t use this guide until you’re wearing [...]
The Boston area Fun Stuff for Dum-Dums event will be held on Saturday, August 29th, from 4 to 7pm at The Burren in Davis Square. It’ll be in the Back Room, which, as the name implies, is behind the front room.
The event is [...]
I was never involved in scouting. Except for the Jesusyness and homophobia, I’ve got nothing against it. However, there should be an age limit. Scouts, Weblos, whatever-the-hell you want to call them, who are still into it when they reach their [...]
If you haven’t traveled across many state lines, you might not recognize the Phantom of Phantom Fireworks. His blank-eyed stare greeted me from atop dozens of billboards throughout my road trip in May.
He’s pretty much a rip-off [...]
I was hunting for some hilariously lame patriotic videos, but took a break to see if there was any new Jonathan Richman stuff on YouTube and found this.
I remember watching it when it aired. 1995! So I was 15 or 16. I wasn’t familiar with his music at the time, [...]
Days after I drew this, John Ensign’s adultery scandal was overshadowed by Mark Sanford’s Excellent Adventure down the Appalachian Trail to see his Argentine Special Lady Friend. So feel free to add him into that panel using your [...]
