Finals have come to a close. Graduation is still a week and a half away. I've still got to turn in my damned 480 project and I spent all evening playing with my new computer. Looks like it's time for another Classic Wisdom.
Despite the horrendous dialog, the comic that goes with this one (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/?id=6) is still one of my favorites. My step-dad is actually the one who told me about the ice pick thing. Oh, that guy!
~Ben
Crabs
This is one of my favorite comics to date.
There are many things that make this one special... This is the first comic in which we see Ben without a hat. This is also the first comic in which Pillboy does not get hurt. Ben, however, does get hurt... This should be a lesson to everyone: DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE. And yes... We Poonheads have been known to play with fire on the occasion :D
So this comic has a history...
I wanted to write a comic that developed the characters a bit more, so I figured okay... what happened after that last comic? Well... It's been a week, a lot could have happened. Since Pillboy is obviously pretty lucky with the ladies, but gets beat up all the time, I wanted to portray Ben as the character who has no luck with women... But of course all of these characters have pretty stupid luck... So Lets say Ben actually hooked up with that blonde chick. There's no way things went off well... Lets give him crabs! But that's not that funny... Let's give him crabs IN HIS CHIN PUBES... This works on many levels because many people make fun of my beard by calling it chin pubes (when in, fact it, DOES actually look like a tuft of pubic hair on my chin...).
So I was originally just going to have Sterling jump out of no wheres and punch Pillboy, but that was kind of lame... So I figured maybe I'll just have Pillboy laugh and not get punched and it will be funny because it isn't Ben's job to punch Pillboy... But that isn't enough to make a comic about...
That's when an assossiate of mine related to me the correct way to get rid of crabs... You light your pubes on fire and stab them with an ice pick. So I figured I would make my comic about that... BUT... Then I get this image in my head of my head getting lit on fire in a giant fire ball... and THAT is how this comic came to be.
Oddly enough, the thing that people tend to find most humorous about this particular comic is the tuft of hair on my chest... What can I say? I'm not a very hairy guy...
Daily bit of wisdom: Yeah... I'm lazy... no wisdom today..
