I’ve been at it again with the comic replies. This time it was a cartoon from Luke Surl’s fine array of puns and silliness. His is an extended take on the Good Cop/Bad Cop cliche and I decided to extend it a bit more (as did many of the commenters on the site)
Luke’s Original:
My extension:
I forgot to check Luke’s alt-text before doing my own and repeated his hidden joke in mine. Sorry Luke. My bad.
Wow, a cartoon about Palin resigning. Talk about having your finger on the pulse. Alright, several weeks after everyone else, I’ve weighed in with my little jibe about it. I thought of this joke ages ago, but too late for it to be topical, so I didn’t bother with it. But someone like Palin was never going to stay out of the limelight for long, so I thought I’d resurrect it, but not without procrastinating so long that I managed to avoid topicality for a second time. I guess I just wanted to try a bit of caricature. It’s a bit basic, but we’ve all got to start somewhere.
So, now that I’ve solved politics with the rapier edge of my satire, I thought I might fix racism next week. I might not. I’ll just have to see what kind of mood I’m in.
Recently one of my favorite webcomics CocknBull continued its fine tradition of puerile crudity by posting this cartoon:
I decided to be cheeky and drew a comic reply which I posted in the comments section. I thought I’d share it with you all:
Phew! For a moment there, it looked like Twitter was going to surprise us all by becoming an integral part of a campaign to overthrow a tyrannical, corrupt government. I thought I was going to have to read up on current affairs just to feel involved. But then things changed, we refound our sense of perspective and swamped the internet with updates about celebrities still being dead. At one point, over 30% of all tweets were about the death of a certain MJ. Well done everybody for restoring Twitter to its rightful place as the world’s watercooler and for steering it away from world events
And because I like you all so much, this image is available for you as wallpaper (woohoo – my 1st ever ‘extra’!)
I originally designed this website so that the blog would be very separate (like on xkcd’s site), because as well as containing news about my webcomic, it was going to (and does) contain other things like reviews & general blog posts. I wanted to keep the main page uncluttered, but I’ve changed my mind & decided that it makes more sense to have any news that relates to the comic on the main page, I’ll still post stuff that’s unrelated to the comic on my separate blog. Does that make sense?
So, latest news then. I now have a Facebook page here, which you can join & become a fan (yeah, I know, a fan – you lucky people). I haven’t done much on it as yet, but I’ll get some discussions going soon & will post some stuff that will be exclusive to the page. Also, I’m now listed on a couple of webcomic forums, so if you like what you see, check them out – you can click the TopWebComics links & vote me up (Cheers).
The other thing I’m going to do in the news section is post rough cartoons. Sometimes I have ideas that need to be done quickly & I know I haven’t got time to do a proper cartoon, but if I don’t get them out, they’ll become meaningless. So here’s my very 1st sketch toon post:
I do think that the name change was stupid & yet another example of style over content, but some people seem to be getting genuinely furious about this. (BTW, if you don’t know what this cartoon is about, you can read more here ). Anyway, I think it’s worth pointing out the stupidity of this move, but by getting too angry there’s a chance that we end up attaching just as much importance to a name as the rebranders do. It’s just a name, if the channel is still showing programmes that you like, who cares what it’s called.
