The interminable wait for a fifth season of AMC's "Mad Men" won't be over until the summer. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ragingly misogynistic culture of the 1950s and '60s today! Not when Rob Scott's "Madderer Men" is around to pick up the slack. Kick back, light a cigarette, sip on a Scotch, and give your wife a couple good smacks across the face, and enjoy our profile of "Madderer Men". It's laughing at the differences between the genders the way your grandfather did. Not your grandmother, though, she was busy hiding from your grandfather because he would get in a terrible way when he'd been drinking.

A Funny Site of the Day with your Guide Mike Durrett
King Features describes this cool comic strip pup as "more of an only child with canine instincts than he is the family pet. Buckles can display all the charm, innocence, naivete and cunning of a small child discovering how to find his way through life."
Today's color cartoon (Monday-Saturday) is available from seattlepi.com. The host syndicate publishes online two weeks after newspaper publication dates. There's a complete archive for the previous month

Ctrl+Alt+Del is a Web Comic About Video Games!
Comics are a series of images that, when combined with text (placed in "bubbles"), create a narrative. Classic comics include "Superman", "X-Men", and "Andy Capp". These days, many comics appear on the internet, and among those, a few are about video games. Most of them are about two dudes, fictionalized stand-ins for the creator(s) only cooler and more likable. One of them is Ctrl+Alt+Del, in which the aforementioned stand-ins work in a video game store and make humorous comments about the games they sell and play. If you like video games, and sets of two dudes, you will probably enjoy Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Overboard Comic Strip
Sure, there are dangerous confrontations and duels with pirate competitors and stowaway bunnies and mice, but mostly the bad boys play tricks on each other, slackers in the face of violence. When Overboard isn't a metaphor for everyman's quest to be a workplace deadbeat, it's just plain silly -- the good kind of silly.
Overboard, "nominated for 'Best Comic Strip' in 1993 by the members of the National Cartoonists Society," says Universal Press Syndicate, can be accessed up-to-the-minute at AOL, which maintains an aaaarrchive of previous booty.
