Comic
So… we’re steering away from Wukilars for a while. I figure we’ve worn them out for now. But hey, second day of the ‘Fest! Something hadda go banana whip crazy, right?
Cassowaries. Crazy. Like if an Emu were imitated by Skynet in order to infiltrate the bird world to kill the Ostrich John Connor.
grew up with Marlon Perkins as the face of Wild Kingdom ( a TV show about animals long before that Australian guy jumped on the stingray- for you younger folk) Marlon would talk about, say, alligators. And then he would proudly say stuff like “And now Jim will jump onto the alligator and bring it over here!” or something equally as appalling. Poor ol’ Jim would do it, too!
Jim survived and carried on, going on late night talk shows with animals that would poop on or bite every famous comedian/host there has been.
I don’t think ‘Ranger DeMarcus’ will stick with it that long.
But that’s just a guess.
After camping out, there’s always something to complain about.
My back hurts. I can’t find my clean clothes. There’s toilet paper all over the tent. It’s not enough toilet paper to be useful, considering what I’ve been eating this weekend.
Fuss, fuss, fuss…
Shopping for vehicles these days is… weird. It makes you feel that the end of our civilization must be closing in on us. Or, y’know, the end of our absurd economy anyhow.
A lot of my humor comes from people being oblivious about themselves.
I still get tickled at a lot of comments under my other strip The Buckets on GoComics.com. A lot of commenters seem to think of comic strip characters as somehow ‘Other’, meaning ‘not themselves’. When, in fact, I’m often poking fun at the attitudes I’ve come to expect from them in the very comics they don’t see themselves in. I find it very satisfying.
The idea that Bob is like his dad and doesn’t see it is funny to me.
I don’t know if it’s still a thing, but when I was in middle school, it was common practice, before a test, to ask “Does spelling count?”
Once, I recall a wag in class asking that before a spelling test. Hilarious.
It all ended one day before a Civics test, when the teacher answered, “You’re not children. Spelling always counts now.”
That was a dark day indeed.
