Christ on a Cracker, has it REALLY been a month since my last comic? Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve gone this long without doing one. Well, I figure now is a good of a time as any to catch up with everyone’s favourite warped kids show, The Marvelous Learning Family! I’ll try and keep the comic updates a little closer together next time, ok?
I hope I don’t ever start a Deadliest Warrior Review with an apology again. I’m sorry I missed last week’s show. Like, I completely missed it. It’s the first time I have not seen a show in full. HOWEVER, I got to see THIS week’s show, which is way more important. Why? Well, it involves someone VERY important! It’s Vlad the Impaler vs. Sun Tzu!
I like the HBO TV show, True Blood. It’s one of the few TV shows the Missus and I watch “as a couple.” It’s a really good show, on the whole; characters, plot and storytelling are well done. However, the only complaint I have is the whose complex “Vampire Society” subplot the show has going on. When I was growing up, there were no Vampire kings and territories and laws on how to be a Vampire. Vampires just did what they wanted to, whenever they wanted to do it. Now we have Vampire Ombudsmen and Vampire Laws governing treatment of humans and Vampire blood trafficking. It’s still better than Twilight though; the main points of being a Vampire (Drinking Blood, avoiding Sunlight and such) are still respected.
This comic is particularly special, as it is the first I have drawn on my fancy new Netbook! The Windows 7 version of MS Paint has some new fancy brushes and shit I will try out in later comics.
I know I have already done a comic about my disdain for the World Cup of Soccer. However, since the World Cup of Soccer has started, I have noticed two funny trends: 1) The increase of Car Flags, and 2) The increase of resentment for people who have Car Flags.
I’m not one to hop on bandwagons, but I REALLY fucking hate Car Flags. I don’t think there is a symbol of sports fanaticism that is more pretentious than the Car Flag. Just the visual of a Car Flag flapping in the wind, you can tell that the person behind the wheel is a bit of a dick. And now, in the past few days, I’ve seen people progress from simple small Car Flags, to actually affixing real, normal-sized flags to their cars. Is this necessary? I mean, does your supposed fanaticism for whatever team you’re pretending to care about transcend the usual Car Flag? You’re now putting yourself within two realms of dickishness, the Asshole Soccer Fan, and the horrendously obnoxious Sports Fan (you know, the type that wear Body Paint to football games).
And, as a sidebar, since the World Cup of Soccer has started this year, I’m getting sick and tired of other people automatically assuming I care about the World Cup. I can’t wait for the World Cup of Soccer to be over, just so people will stop ASKING ME ABOUT FUCKING SOCCER. Here’s your comic.
