These Imperial property holders are up-up-up on their way to bagging more aurei than they'll know what to do with! Renting or timeshare, just watch the asses roll in! And what asses! These two pre-Italian broads are fine!
(That's a Latin pun. Betcha never thought I could do one of them, eh? Eat your heart out, evil twin!)
This is a story comic. Either that or the jokes are really bad. Or so good human minds cannot fathom them. Spill the beans, friend! Are you secretly a being of pure entertainment? Probably not, now that I think about it.
For all intents and purposes, this comic is good. Not my cup of tea, but that's because I hate tea. Congratulations!
I receive my jokes from the gods themselves, whom I worship by drawing pictures of seminude Italian women in the bath. Check out tomorrow's comic, which will feature seminude Italian women
and nude Italian men
and possibly murder by spoon-and-foreshortening. But only male nudity from the waist up, lest female readers swoon and never recover.
Hey, I kinda like the idea of turning this thread into a hit-and-run webcomic-above. But I do still promise to get my act together on reviewing Squid Ninja over in the other thread. A trip out of town interfered with my archive-reading. I was technology-free for way too long.
Now, the comic above... I am confused by it, but I like the happy fella in the thought balloon in the logo art. He seems friendly. What is his backstory? What are his aspirations? What is his motivation? Of course I only assume it is a he.
I'm not sure I could understand all the jokes in this parody without reading the original, which I am told is not advised. Since the author of the original seems to actually like the attention (wasn't the longest thread on his former message forum the one making fun of his comic?), I figure all's fair with the parody if he doesn't want it done away with. Some of the humour is funny on its own, some is so broad I guess it must help to know how broad the original is. It seems to be best when it's
analysing and making fun of the original comic, rather than just making with the funny and cracking wise about, oh, lovesick tentacles (and is there any such thing as a tentacle that isn't lovesick?). Anyone who can make a Latin pun would probably do a great non-parody comic, too. Or a comic in Latin. The parody looks like it hasn't been updated in yonks, so maybe the author is working on something else? Man, I dunno, who reads comics in b&w, anyway.
Meanwhile, back in my comic, Laurence Llewelyn Bowen is building a statue of Ganymede out of MDF and uphoulstering the walls with zebra print. It's a must see.
