Doonesbury

Panel 1

"Pops, I’ve decided that it’s time to move out. I’m tired of being the second unhappiest person in the household. It’s time to get out there and see how truly miserable I can be."

Panel 2

"But why, son? I know you’re not as deeply depressed as myself but just last week you told me that you expressed hopelessness and despondency."

Panel 3

"If you just hang in there a little longer I’m sure that one day you too can be a near comatosed couch potato!"

Panel 4

"Face it Dad, no matter how hard I try I’ll never be as old, fat and bald as you are."

*Dad sobs quietly*

"I know that you have achieved some success with your social and political commentary, which is apparently always timely, and supposedly peppered with wry and ironic humor."

Panel 4

"Truth be known, in 41 years I've never understood a goddamn thing that you've said. Now leave me alone and let me get back to the funny pages."

Standing around butt naked together while discussing which KISS album is truly the best.

(P.S. the answer is Love Gun.)

Johnny Sweatpants said...

Dammuit, Blogger erased 5 previous submissions! And by the way AC, these are f'in HARD!

Octopunk said...

Blogger did it? I thought JPX decided to redo his.

Agree on the hardness; I haven't had a chance to ponder these but I will tomorrow night.

JPX said...

All 4 of my entries were erased!!! I don't have copies of them, dammit!

Octopunk said...

I think they were:

blah blah blah, stupid, blah blah

neeble neeble neeble

wooo, I'm JPX! woaaahhhh

(fart)

AC said...

whoah, that's weird about the erased entries... that's never happened before, has it? do you think gretchen is trying to sabotage the contest?

and i didn't mean for them to be particularly hard, sorry!

AC said...

should we extend the contest till sunday at midnight, because of the blogger malfunction?

Octopunk said...

AC, you're pushing the envelope. It's great, own it.

Octopunk said...

Doonesbury

Phil Slackmeyer (from behind newspaper): If I want fashion help from you, I'll ask for it Cathy!

Mark: You pleaded for help, Irving

Panel 2

Phil: Precisely. If I'd wanted help, I would've asked not pleaded!

Panel 3

Phil: By pleading for help, I was clearly hoping to be told I was perfect as is, not inviting you to butt in with advice!

Panel 4

Octopunk said...

I gotta pause to ponder Love Is.

Meanwhile, to respond to your question, yes I think we should extend the deadline.

JPX, it sucks your entries were lost, but try to recreate them! I thought your Doonesbury one was hilarious.

Catfreeek said...

Only my entries survived, I feel special.

AC said...

Whirlygirl said...

I only did one do far, and since it's short, I can easily remember it. I'm glad the contest is extended, I need more time to think.

JSP: I don't think so... Isn't it farting in each other's face?
