Zirealism
yer Sunday comix
Poor Antwan
Unless I've gone to bed.
blame it on daylight savings time
noooooooo!!!!!!! oh god no!!!!! WHY? WHY!? WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS??!?!
Actually, this method of posting either just the title or the caption is ever so much more suspenseful and dramatic than just posting the damned comics. It reminds me a bit of the comics that had "secret messages" embedded that could only be revealed by rubbing, wetting with water, or soaking overnight in a solution of borax and cockatrice egg.
If I don't see a new Zirealism in 24 hours, I will put a bullet into my head. I don't own a gun so I will have to physically press the bullet into my skull. Oh zirealism WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?
...go down to the railroad track
and let the 4:19 scratch your back
But, hark! What is that I hear?
It is the sound of a comic being uploaded!
It's 5:24 here, so it's a no-go on the train idea. Everywhere I turn, something reminds me of zirealism (especially the thingsihate archives)
post one of your comix! but I'm pretty certain that a comic will magically appear before midnite, if not sooner.
What was the punch line? Is it because the bird opposite of the bird sitting on a tree is a bluejay? Or is it because the other bird wants to physically punch the first bird?
See?
Spring has sprung
Fall has fell
Summer's here
and it's hot as Hell
Antwan, I think that the real deal is that the little bird is "The Bird" and he just flew in from
Birdland
I put up Zirealism placeholders when I'm loading articles into the queue so everything will load in order. The alt text goes in then - with no idea what the picture will later be - because I like having alt text.
Why don't you just call it what it is? SENTENCES!!
What you bluejays know about the dirty south? What you bluejays know about the dirty south?
You can see them walking
Southward in their dirty underwear?
Take away the trees and the birds
All have to sit upon the ground, uum
Take away their wings and
The birds will have to walk to get around
And take away the bird baths
And dirty birds will soon be ev'rywhere
Take away their feathers and
The birds will walk around in underwear
Take away their chirp and the
Birds will have to whisper when they sing
And take away their common sense and
They'll be headed southward in the spring
Oh remember my darling
When spring is in the air
And the bald headed birds
Are whisp'ring ev'rywhere
You can see them walking
Southward in their dirty underwear
That's Tennessee Bird walk
How about some trees so the birds
Won't have to sit upon the ground, uum
How about some wings so the
Birds won't have to walk to get around
And how about a bird bath or two
so the birds will all be clean
How about some feathers so their
Underwear no longer can be seen
How about a chirp so the birds
Won't have to whisper when they sing
And how about some common sense so they
Won't be blocking traffic in the spring
Oh remember my darling
When spring is in the air
And the bald headed birds
Are whisp'ring ev'rywhere
You can see them walking
Southward in their dirty underwear
That's Tennessee Bird walk
So I don't tell you what the cartoons mean because you know better than I do, but I will tell you...
this was done with a brush-tip felt-tip pen. I can tell you the brand when I get home, if you're interested. It's a good one with two different points, a brush-tip, and refillable ink! (Scans are done in black and white, not greyscale, so I get a crisp image with no paper texture)
the last two or three were done with a mouse-pen directly into the computer in Photoshop.
Text is always done in Photoshop.
Do you have a
graphics tablet? I have been meaning to get one, but have not done yet.
But EXPLAIN the cartoon, don't tell us how you drew it.
And make the explanations be totally incomprehensible drawings, charts, and diagrams.
yes, not a wacom, but wacom's probably the best. get one. it will change your life. just give yourself some time to adapt to it.
Okay, Antwan, I'll explain the cartoon to you. One of the birds is twittering, you know how birds do. But the other bird doesn't want any part of that. His opinion is that the first bird doesn't know anything about the blues. See the trick? It was a rhetorical question! And wasn't that cool how I just made one word bold?
It's 'cause the bird is blue right?
He's blue because he can't do the funky chicken!
So, wait. None of this has to do with the dirty south?
