I liked the kind of epic badness of the idea of just getting killed by a bus with THERE IS NO GOD written across it in huge letters. That is a horrible run-on sentence. This cartoon was largely reviled due to the mis-spelling of the word ‘Atheist.’ PRO TIP: Never mis-spell something on the Internet. You will not get away with it.
I have all these plans for epic post-death things, but they all seem frustratingly impossible because of common sense and/or physics. Other plans include having my body given to the Body Worlds guy for plastination, then having the body taken back, melted and turned into a statue of myself doing the White Guy Thumbs Up.
My second choice for a superpower would be flying. That’d be awesome, until I accidentally Superman into a Boeing 747 like some kind of mad, errant goose. Seems like the kind of thing I would do.
This is sort of real, only in real life it was more pathetic. Substitute 30 Rock for 24, Cornflakes for Frosties (Or Frosted Flakes, the more boring name they have for them in Canada. Why not just call them Sugared Maize Product and be completely done with it?) and ‘Ennui’ for ‘Unemployment.’
Also substitute the plain green shirt in the picture for an old “Cheers” shirt with egg on it, and replace trousers with No Trousers.
This was one of the first cartoons I put out that I actually got feedback on from people I didn’t know in real life. I am always slightly taken aback when I am reminded that people outside my circle of friends actually know this site exists. Like when some nice people from the Phillipines became fans of the site on Facebook. Unexpected, but awesome.
Actually, now I am worse for this with “Californication.”
I can’t even remember what the Gold Stocks thing was but seriously The Internet, if I want some Cialis I’ll ask you, alright?
This was a line from the movie “Johnny Mnemonic” I think. He actually says his head can carry 80 gigs of data. At the time of this cartoon it was about as much as the biggest available iPod. Now it’s about as much as a large memory card in a digital camera. FUN FACT: Scientists estimate that the real capacity of the human brain could be as much as 1000 terabytes. If that is the case then Keanu Reeves is operating at 0.008% of the capacity of a normal person. Or 80% of the two-year-old laptop I wrote this on. WOAH.
The people in this cartoon are, L-R: My sister Charlotte, Me, My friend Sam. I don’t know why we were drinking on a Monday.
We went on a big road trip around Europe in 2004 and stayed with my Uncle and Aunt in Belgium. Belgium is very flat, but awesome.
