What a jerk!

lba on May 8, 2008

It's always been a belief of mine that everyone on earth is a jerk, at least once or twice during their life. We all make dumb mistakes and act like rude idiots once in a while. This is why I enjoy the amazing ability to blow off most insults and even insult myself pretty often ( Not that I'm going to let you off the hook when you really screw the pooch as they say. ). I've come to the conclusion recently that if I could get everyone to accept this logic, then the world would be a far better place. By which I mean that all of life would be like a Three-Stooges short. And who doesn't at least get some sort of small amusement watching those three abuse each other, yet still be so completely amicable with each other. I am not advocating that anyone should go out and immediately attempt to make the world funnier by hitting people with a 2x4 though. You should leave such things as that to professional humorists who have years of training in such things. Because there are very specific rules when it comes to hitting people for humor. But I'm not allowed to disclose such things for fear that I might be run out of a job by cheap foreign wood-related humor by my international readers. I may not be unionized, but I do have to protect my trade. I mean, how would the world survive if everyone else had brain damage too?

And I thought I'd address this while I'm thinking of it ( I forgot yesterday. ).
“Don't tell me that's an actual drawing of your real hand! It mimics the creation of Adam fresco of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. If that was the case.. then you made yourself god (of the comic). Damn me and my formalist reading of random images.”

Specifically these two points about it: 1. Yes, I did use my own hand for that drawing, and 2. This is why I like having art and art history majors for readers. I have a lot of fun changing the context of the imagery from The Creation of Man, ( That as I recall, is the proper name for the painting on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. ) and it's something I've used often before in my work.

Today's comic on DA.
