Day 48
It's Christmas Eve and so...
Andrea thinks this one isn't clear because of the movie called Reindeer Games. She thought I was parodying the Hunger Games movie and the Reindeer Games movie and thusly found this stupid. When we discussed that I was in fact making fun of the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer song and the Hunger Games movie it made much more sense to her. What is your experience? Did you have that same thought process?

Day 47
This is the cartoon that started them all. Well, relatively speaking. This is the cartoon idea I had that made me think, "Hey maybe I can be a professional cartoonist. I even had the joy of passing a copy of this on to the wonderful magical couple David and Abi Haines. It was really fun to give a cartoon to someone who really enjoyed it and I imagine the joy of syndication would be ten fold. Or at least there would be a lot more money.

Day 44
I've been informed that this is not funny. For so many reasons. Three main ones: 1. all I've done is broken up a word. 2. I telegraphed said broken up word by using a hyphen in the text and 3. I didn't do anything witty with said broken up word other than point out the fact that I did indeed break it up. I am willing to bet though, if this panel appeared in a Far Side strip, someone, somewhere would cut it out and put it on their fridge. Probably an eye doctor with no sense or humour or more likely the equally humourless mother of the eye doctor who clips and and sends anything dealing with glasses to her son.
