This is just sort of a classic riff on that old joke that someone orders a huge meal in a restaurant and then a diet soda. People have good intentions, and every bit helps, but I think we’re lying to ourselves a bit. Lying to yourself is always funny.
This strip originated from me being amused by the hatred some young men have toward the Twilight series. Now, I’m no fan myself, but some seem to take it as a personal offense against them. These also happen to be the same young men who flock in droves to see things like Transformers 2.
So, basically no young people have taste in movies.
This isn’t exactly highbrow humor, but it does point to the general lack of common knowledge many suffer from. You would assume Gray’s Anatomy was fairly well known, but I get the impression most don’t get the television show’s name as a reference. You know, Grey and Gray? Oh well.
I write this and even I can’t be for sure if Tom is stoned at any given moment, or just kind of weird.
I’m surprised this film hasn’t actually been made, yet. A little bit for the guys, and a little bit for the girls. Or maybe just little bits for the guys.
In all seriousness, how awesome would a Castlevania movie be? Completely awesome.
In college I often spent the summers in town when most people moved back home. It was not cool, and there was not much to do. The town basically shut down. It might be cool if you go to school in Boston, but not most other places.
Amanda seems like a bad influence on eighth graders.
Good films like the She-Witch series (yes, completely fictional) simply do not get made anymore. Sure, there are still bad direct-to-DVD films being made, but series like She-Witch used to actually make it into theaters. That’s a shame, because all it leaves us with is yearly Saw retreads instead. You hear me, Michael Bay? Get to work on She-Witch!
Ever noticed that superheroes do tons of damage, and yet no one ever complains? I mean, thanks for saving the kitten and all Superman, but did you have to derail a train in the process? Really, most superheroes are kind of jerks.
This one was sort of fun because we got to bring back two older characters in Dr. Zane and Victoria (even if Dr. Zane had briefly appeared last week). The idea of the layered multiple personality amused me. What would you do if you had another personality, who happened to be famous, but who also happened to be a superhero? Probably drink.
Let’s say you’re the type that does an online comic strip. That’s a lot of work and time to put into something, so obviously you’d want a break now and then. What do you do with that break? Why, practice drawing the comic some more, of course!
That’s exactly what David has done with these newest Professor Hobo sketches. But you’ll obviously notice right away the look and design of these are dramatically different than what normally appears in the strip (Jimmy is way cooler looking, for one). Is this a sign of things to come? Well, yes for experimental art we share with our readers. No, for a dramatic change in the actual comic or cartoon series. We like the way our characters look, but even we aren’t immune to the allure of “rebooting” the franchise, even if just jokingly. Think of it as Professor Hobo, if Michael Bay rebooted it. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I can’t stand different names for sizes. Sizes should generally follow the small, medium, and large varieties. However, we’ve all been somewhere where they don’t have those names. There’s the seafood restaurant that has trout, carp, and salmon sizes. Honestly, I have no idea what the difference between those three is, but the salmon sounds like it might swim back upstream making me sick.
I’ll take a carp. With extra butter.
