The Tragedy

March 6, 2009

Is this cruel?  Yes.

But the heart of the joke is that it’s so over the top as to be ridiculous.  If I toned it down, there’d be no humor there.  Also, it’s early morning and my nose has been running like the Kenyan Olympic team all day, and I’m watching John McClane stop an airplane from taking off on HBO by making it explode.

… I forgot where I was going with that.

Anyway, I look forward to your angry emails.

    No anger here. Moments like these keep me coming back.

  2. Anthony says:

    I think the best line by far is “This used to be a child”. Great stuff.

  3. Flapjack says:

    Oh man that`s hilarious!

    I hope this brings up a story arc of him going through therapy.

    Then at the end the same thing happens to Thurman and Herman just shrugs and calls 911.

    Hi…I found a link to your comic on somethingpostive.com. I read all 49 and this one did bug me a little, but I am not mad. I really like your comic and you are a good artist. Keep up the good work!

    Beckett was on the Weasels?

    “I’m chewing and running”?

    What a boring, boring child.

  9. Sir Sniper says:

    Hilarious. I don’t know how on Earth you’d get a “crunch” noise from running and chewing gum, but I guess that’s what makes it funny.

  10. Guest says:

    Well, *crunch* might be the sound, say, a truck makes while dismantling a kid who’s too busy running and chewing gum to pay attention. Just a hypothesis.

  11. Rob says:

    Okay, I’ve read the half-hundred or so comics you’ve posted so far, and I’m adding this site to my bookmarks.

    Thanks!

  12. Alex says:

    The beauty of crunch is that it’s whatever you want it to be.

  13. Ethd says:

    So NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER run and chew gum at the same time, kids, or you’ll look like this and you’ll die a terrible, awful, gruesome death!

    “This used to be a chiiiiiild!!!”

  15. Ricky says:

    “this used to be a child” is a candidate for the best quotes in history.

    drops the gum from his mouth, trys to catch it, his sleve gets court on his shoe.
    he falls and pole-woldts on his head, getting flong into the air.
    he then lands in a posison best describt as “abstrakt”.
    artcritics proclame it to be “the best expresion of pre-teen seksuality in decades”.

  20. Dexter says:

    *Crunch*

    It’s the sound of a noodle incident.

  21. Kamaria says:

    “I’m just like Hermes! I’m just like Hermes!”
