Doodles brought to life.

lukesurl-abc

This comic brings back so many memories of the hours spent in classes during high school, the more hours spent staring at professors in college, and most recently, an arduous team meeting at work where the material was so incredibly dry and poorly presented that I reverted back to the coping mechanisms of my earlier days. Doodling.

Lacking artistic ability though (as evidenced by writing about webcomics instead of writing them), I tended to use the pages I had and just added to their value with my adventuring stick figures. The little stick figures would usually be having epic battles, hiding behind the “A” and shooting at the guy hunkered down in the trench between two other words. There would usually be a stick figure in a fedora swinging from a whip on the bottom of a boring graph.

So cheers to Luke Surl at http://www.lukesurl.com for this excellent piece that reminded me of my childhood, teens, tweens, and that miserable meeting last month.

Challenges

2009-06-26

Present a man with a challenge having to deal with mechanical aptitude and/or urination and he has no choice but to try and conquer said challenge. Some of you reading this, who are of the more feminine persuasion, may not fully understand this compunction. Fear not, for there is nothing to understand. This is just how  it is.

You will never fully understand the reason men are compelled to share certain things with people that you may find disgusting, such as the size, shape, and density of a bowel movement. But you’re not supposed to. Men don’t understand why women like twilight, which is equally as disturbing as posting pictures of poop.

Bearded brethren

sheldon-beard

Beards are awesome. Unfortunately if I grow a beard for the first month it looks like Joe Dirt’s beard that “Natually grows in all white-trashy like this.” Pity those who walk beside you with a clean face. They are jealous of your manly chin-stache, but they say they don’t grow one because the ladies like a smooth face. Secret: Women love beards. Women also love belching, fishing, sports playoffs, and public displays of scratching.

Hindsight is 20/30

2009-06-26-09-stopwatch

This reminds me of saved by the bell. Zach Morris always stopping time to let us in on his various insights and/or insults. Either way, it’s funny.

Instead of commenting on how it is rare for one to fully realize the possible result of our actions, I’ll leave it slightly funny.

Pictures + Words

asoft-judge

A bold way to look at life, for sure. Seems like it would be a lot of fun too.

http://www.asofterworld.com/ is a fairly unique page. You take hipster photos, add in words, enjoy laughter. Speaking of hipsters I have to put in a real comic because if it is just a photograph I feel guilty.

…. oh man before I include the next one I just hit the “previous” button at asofterworld.com and ran into this gem:

asoft-snuggleI really hate pets and how people act so giddy around them, so it is nice to think that just maybe some dogs hate us too.

And now for a real comic (ie people drawing stuff)

mrwiggles-hipster

Now you know how to identify a dirty hipster.  I’ll try to get back to that whole “one comic + one review” thing shortly. Sometimes a new site like A Softer World just jumps up and smacks you and says “Post me!” though.
