Nice BAG…

I write jokes. A lot of them. My life’s mission is to find the funny in situations and show other people what I found, sometimes they don’t want to HEAR it…so I’m drawing it.

This happened to me last year or so around this time give or take a month when I was sick with Mono. I went to the doctors office and I’ve always found them to be funny and ironic but when I went this time there wasn’t anything too funny…until this old couple walked in and the rest is on paper.

You might have a hard time reading this joke since in reality it’s about 2′ long and I don’t understand flickr all that well yet so there could be a way I can show this full scale but It always resizes my images to 800×160. So if you’re having a hard time, go here and click DOWNLOAD LARGE SIZE from the All Sizes tab on the top:

I’m having a hard time and I need to see it bigger.

Anyways. I’ve read some of Scott McClouds books on making and understand comings and I’ve also read a good book on structure of jokes but you can’t learn telling jokes from a book but, it was ok to start with. I practice the rest everyday sharpening my wit. When I read comics I don’t necessarily like how each scene is drawn in a box and what not. I enjoy it on some but it I can’t make it work for what I have in mind. What if your joke is a long run on sentence with endless information and ideas flying in from all sorts of directions? I don’t know about you, but this is what I do, I just keep drawing until I stop talking…and let me tell you that takes a lot of paper.

TAKE THAT MOTHER EARTH!
(I’m actually really environmentally friendly. For example, I’ll decompose when I die. Gotta give something back right?)

*Side Note*
If anyone knows how I can fix this flickr size problem let me know because it won’t let me download the full I uploaded for everyone to see.
