This a terrible song called Marilyn Monroe by a woman named Brianna Perry who — as far as I can tell — is a Beyonce lookalike or some such.
Beyonce looks. A name that combines Beyonce, Rihanna, & Katy Perry. A song called Marilyn Monroe.

FUNNY PEOPLE
Read obituaries. They are just like biographies, only shorter. They remind us that interesting, successful people rarely lead orderly, linear lives.

So you’re saying I gotta read the newspaper to be successful? This is bullshit.

I saw a strip of Bill Amend’s Foxtrotcomic today. If you haven’t seen it, it goes like this:
Panel 1:A younger character with glasses brings a bowl to table where an older character is sitting. The younger character is wearing glasses and the older one is wearing a baseball cap so I’m a guessing they are a nerd and teenager, respectively. Anyway, this nerd is carrying a large bowl and singing about chowder for some stupid reason. I guess we’ll find out.
Panel 2:The glasses character from the first panel is still singing about chowder and seems psyched to eat some so I guess that’s what is in the bowl. This seems to annoy the teenager so he asks why glasses-guy is singing.This is an unnecessary panel in my opinion.
Panel 3:The glasses kid says that he’s heard their father (so they’re brothers) say that today was “Soup Bowl Sunday”, which sounds awesome. Fantastic. Anyway, this seems to enrage the brother character because he gets really mad and says that it’s actually “Super BowlSunday” and then he calls his brother a moron.
Panels 4 & 5:The younger, nerdier brother looks heartbroken and leaves, probably to throw out the soup he was singing about in the other panels, which sucks because soup is still soup no matter what day it is. Both unnecessary panels, in my opinion.
Panel 6:The nerdier brother comes back with a different, bigger bowl now. It has the superman logo on it and it also has a cape, which seems weird for a bowl. I’m guessing he does this because, again, he’s misheard and doesn’t understand anything about sports because he wears glasses. I don’t know why this family has so many hyper-specific bowls. Is it still chowder in the new bowl? Unnecessary panel.
So that’s the strip. These brothers do not get along, so I’m confused as to why anyone would enjoy reading about them. Why would anyone want to read about two characters who conflict with each other? If I were writing this comic there would be a lot less name-calling and a lot more eating soup. I also don’t understand why they’re still talking about the Super Bowl in April.
Anyway, if you want to see it, it’s here.
***EDIT: It seems the strip was published the day of the Super Bowl and I am just reading it now.
