Zirealism

This be-muscled chappy has a medical problem, and his doctor's given him the jar and told him to poo in it. Now, he's ready to poo (quite urgently in fact). But he can't get the lid open!!

You can see this clearly in his face - his effort is being directed at opening the jar, but also at restraining his urgent "motions".

There's a hint of (world-weary) frustration in the way he grunts upwards at the heavens: surely he's thinking "I wish I'd thought of opening this fucker before I needed to poo".

His legs are slightly bent in anticipation of opening the lid, and the sweet colonic release which will follow...

(NB You will never again see "sweet" next to "colonic". So savour it.)

I think it's speaking about the weakening of society. Look at his outfit, he's in weight-lifting gear, but now he's unable to open a simple jar. So Posthumous is saying that humanity is less able to do even the simple everyday things no matter how much we've trained at it. It's the closest to a political cartoon I've seen him do.

So, there is this annual check up in Japan. One of the things the older males are required to do is eat a barium meal to check on their colonic health. Directly after they injest said meal they take a powerful laxative. It is funny because they all get hit by their b.m.'s at about the same time. Synchronized defecation.

Ha!

OK, maybe you had to be there.

Jars are hard to open. It is a bitch that olives are five bucks. But the olives in a jar are Queen size Thrown or Placed and the placed ones are bigger. And the lid isn't too hard to open. Not as hard as pickles or jam. I hate mason jars. Someone should kill all of the masons.

His left ankle is that of a ballet dancers

what is this crap! There isn't any words either... and why can't the guy with the little left ankle get the lid off. I can't take this anymore, I must find something that atleast makes me chuckle...on to Homestarrunner.com!

maybe it's a jar of pants.

Emergancy Pants TM

the jar keeps them from getting damaged by the emergancy, though lack of pants can be an emergancy in and of itself.


or it could be an economy sized jar of hemmeroid cream

it is pandora's mason jar.... he exaggerates his effort to open it, probably because he doesn't really want to open it and let all the vermin of the psyche out. like cockroaches, centipedes, or the rare and far more feared megapede.

There were twin midget cowgirls at a bar here. First, I thought that they were little kids, but one of them started swearing up a storm, so I guess that they were midgets. They used to have dwarf tossing at a couple of bars here, but they don't anymore due to dwarf damage. Yeah, I wish you had a camera, too! I can imagine some kinky midget porn!

She's back.

Maybe there are midgets in the jar.

it must be a cultural thing: what the heck is a mason jar?

It's mentioned in the last track of Pinkerton - I've always meant to discover the meaning. you people seem knowledgeable folks.

In my mind's eye it's a really heavy granite or abalaster jar, or a canopic jar.

mason jars

Still don't get it, I've been looking at it for hours, trying to see what is happening. Maybe it's not a jar, its a Bottle, or a plastic container. Maybe if a little monkey came up and kicked him in the nuts, it would be funny. but...It would take lots of work to turn this Spiriling depression comic into...something funny. you know what is funny, HOMESTAR RUNNER. yea, now that place is funny. unlike this Zirealism, which is not, unlike Homestar runner which is, and Zirealism is not, but Homestar is, and maddox tells the truth, and homestar is funny, unlike this Zirealism.

what a let-down...

I can see why you might think that mason jars would involve Egyptian burial practices. I've heard that it's not unheard of for people to end up in mason jars. Not sure how the custom came about.

I hope that she had a good life.

I mean I almost have a problem with this comic for being too obvious and I thought that was the route you were going to go. I mean big-guy, little-jar the dinamic is right there....right there. Also I need sleep.

Actually I think posthumous is taking kick backs from the movie industry, clearly this is a subconcious effort to get us to think that the man is bruce banner, but bruce banner who is trying to get the lid off a jar, but it won't budge and it is making him angry. Hence why he is of such strange proportions, e.g. he is in mid transformation into The Hulk.

it's a bottle of Mountain Dew

but if anyone has any money I will in a second.

First last week's suprising pandering to the monday night football crowd and now this. To get my faith back your going to need to come up with something bizarre enough to cause the reemergance of Antwan.

So at least one person was thinking about Pumping Iron.

I was thinking about pumping mayonaisse.

Speaking of the movie industry, I think with that last post you've just spawned 85% of the plot for American Pie 4. A youngster's first sexual experience with tasty picnic fixins... And the question to be answered... Do you wear a condom when copulating with condiments?

I can't say for sure, never having had experience with condiments, nor pies. But I would imagine that mustard relish, chutney, or salsa would require a raincoat. I had been doing a search for mayonaisse, and there were lots of kinds; vegan, simple, blueberry, anchovy, so I was thinking of mayo. Why do people equate sex and food, I don't know.
