I'm totally lazy, and have been working on projects pretty much all day. I've got stuff to write about, but don't have the time to do it justice. Instead of half-assing what could be an entertaining read, I've decided to post a classic wisdom. I'll probably do this a lot in the near future as the semester draws to a close.
This particular classic wisdom is the second wisdom to ever be posted at Poonheads.com. It references this comic: (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/?id=1).
It's interesting to see how far we've come, both artistically and literarily. Enjoy.
The first thing you must know about this particular comic strip is that if you don't get it... you probably never will.
Because this is the very first comic strip that I did for this website, it is, unfortunately, the worst, at least as far as art goes. The thing I don't like about it the most is that I didn't make the panels line up. Ah well... Things get better. Characters get more defined. Art gets cleaner. Jokes only get stupider.
You'll start noticing the significant Top-Down format of the strip. I find that it gives it a certain... something... Sort of like a dramatic effect. If you have a monitor that will display the whole comic at one time, your monitor is too big... This way you can't see the whole thing at once and you really aren't expecting the punch line. I find it helps, anyways.
In the original sketch, Sterling had bangs and a longer pony tail. The adam's apple wasn't added until later, also... I asked Pillboy, "Hey... how can I make Sterling look like a man, opposed to a woman..." and that's what he told me to do... and it helped, I think.
I've gotten two reactions to this strip when I previewed it to my friends: 1) Man... that is the best punch line ever! or 2) ... I don't get it... It doesn't make any sense. I like to use this as a sort of IQ test... if they answer anything like 1, they're okay... if they answer anything like 2... They need to be kicked in the balls... but I'm a putz, so I just walk away frustrated.
Lets see... What else have I got to say before I fall asleep at my computer chair? Oh! I finally got my domain to work at home... yeah I was having some issues with it working on my home computers, but I fixed it by simply reseting the router... wierd shit...
I'll leave you with this:
Potatoes are only good when french fried or chipped and should not be mentioned in ever single conversation ever. You know who you are.
