Stroll through any amusement park and you start to get the impression that a good half of the rides were never designed with amusement in mind. They’re basically modern torture devices that we willingly put ourselves on. It’s a wonder they’re not all called the Thud Bucket.
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.
This is the type of strip that makes people mad because we’re being too literal with a definition. It isn’t actually mocking Jesus or anything, but people will take it that way. Preemptively, no, we are not making fun of Jesus.
We are, however, making fun of Kevin Sorbo.
If you gave some people a true life simulation game, would their character be too lazy to get off the couch and do anything interesting?
And yes, there is probably already a game called Alt/Life, but finding an unused title is harder than you think.
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.
Every test in life should be as simple as naming one word in a foreign language. In high school a friend and I would torment our Spanish teacher in a similar fashion. He had the class play a game where we each had to say a word in Spanish or get eliminated from the game. We refused to use words not on Taco Bell’s menu.
Students are always shocked to discover that teachers are just as, if not more so, excited as them to see the school year end. It isn’t that teachers hate their job, it’s just that being a teacher is generally more stressful than being a student, and we all remember how much fun that was.
IT is not going to be happy that Evil Beard smashed his laptop.
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 was inspired by the occasional run in with a student off campus, and the utter shock they suffer from such incidents. I think they’re truly traumatized to realize that teachers are real people with real lives.
Dr. Klownus looks particularly styling in this comic.
This is our From Dusk Till Dawn storyline. What starts out as a simple road trip eventually turns to a monster mash. Well, sort of. Still, it’s enjoyable to portray the guys as a bunch of cowards in the face of faux zombies.
I like that the guys remove their hats when it comes time to get down to business. They’re gentlemen.
