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.
We’ll probably catch some flack for this being a political strip, but keep in mind that Mr. Mittens is pure evil. We do not condone his actions. In fact, he is usually the exact opposite of how we would recommend people act. Usually.
His little Red coat costume is awfully cute, though.
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.
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.
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…
What can we say? We’re suckers for punctuation jokes! Even better when they’re ambiguously dirty punctuation jokes.
Amanda seems to be smirking at Megan in the third panel. I’m not sure why, but I assume it is at her unadulterated love of the semicolon. Probably not, though.
I suspect that secretly upwards of 85% of pop music makes absolutely no sense. Sure, “Adia” is a notable offender, but listen to many country music “story” songs and you’ll quickly lose track of who is doing what, and why.
This also happens to be the type of strip that will encourage people to stop us at work or email us and say, “Hey, I know what that song’s about!” Then they’ll proceed to try to explain it for the next thirty minutes. Lucky us.
This is very much the type of dilemma I have while in the grocery store. Even when I try to do right and eat healthy, I still find myself at a loss with food packaging. I suppose that is the point.
This is one of those strips that sinks or swims based on the cadence at which the reader says the lines. It perhaps would work better animated.
The logical outcome of the feel-good, self-help craze is that one day we’ll all be alone in our own little private cubby holes just repeating mantras incessantly to ourselves. It’ll sort of be like returning to the womb, with no outside worries or concerns. I, for one, welcome this day.
You can say lots of dirty things with few consequences if you have an alibi. The Truth Circle is ours.
I will admit, I am at times guilty of being a wise guy (gal?) like Megan plays here. The problem with this, of course, is that there’s always someone wiser, or dumber. A little bit in one direction or another is safe, but go too far and you get burned (as Rick manages here by not getting the joke).
Billy looks far too happy about this whole exchange.
