Really funny. Funny in a very "off" way, if that makes sense. Why can't I live in my dream world where alternative weekly papers have that kind of sensibility? ..I did have an idea a while for a concentration camp gag having to with a "complaints" box.
It's hard to say. I guess it's in the text, maybe. the language in a couple of them sounds like it's from a non-native English speaker; "I can not even hear myself think", for instance. that plays to the "unbalanced mind" that's evident in the drawing.
Seriously, this may be a HUGE delusion of mine, but i tend to think my weird english grammar enrichs my comics,(besidesleaving aside the OBVIOUS errors) i'm a big fan of Herriman patois and of early cajun music...talk about garbled dialects!
Really funny stuff David. Do you get these published in any local newspapers, somethin like that? I want to see these in the funny papers!
ReplyDeleteSomehow the "monster" in the "...Looks new..." panel makes me think only of George Bush. really funny, man.

Jason: it's the 'lil beady eyes that give him the "Bush look"
Luke, if you have a minute, could you help me to pinpoint the quality of the "Off"?
Off because of the black humor or Off because they seem the product of a slightly unbalanced mind? both?
Or it is unpointpointable?
