Zirealism

yer Sunday comix


You need to watch The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.  It's excellent.  I don't care if you've seen it before, you need to watch it again.  This has become clear to me only recently.  I need to buy a copy of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.  If I had a webcam, I would show my breasts and that problem would be solved.  It's a very, very good movie.
Where're the damned monkeys? [2003-08-10 02:02:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
This makes me think of Zarathrustra, I can think of several possible captions.
Scared Penguin vs. Monster Sun: ONE WILL WIN! [2003-08-10 06:34:00] Vicarious
It's a very good movie.
That's either a really big snowman [2003-08-10 07:01:00] laconic
or the monkey sun god (I've decided it's a monkey mostly just to piss off Antwan) has really good vision to be looking straight at him like that.
It was always the walrus [2003-08-10 07:40:00] Vicarious
The snowman/penguin/thing reminds me of the little bird character from New Zealand Story. That game made me so angry and frustrated I cried more than once while playing it, many many moons ago.

Ah, memories.
hmm [2003-08-10 10:40:00] minna
i guess thats why you're not supposed to look directly at the sun. its really, really, ass ugly.
The unholy horror. [2003-08-10 13:37:00] Antwan
Sometimes a Zirealism comes along that is not unwantingly disagreeable. Sometimes they have a redeeming quality, for instance, using monkies. This Zirealism is inexcusable and only furthers my cause to get into the news. Why would ozzy osbourne's disembodied head be staring at a poorly-drawn penguin?
Hallucinating [2003-08-10 14:13:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
I know I'm hallucinating, but I think it's the Sun; it even looks like the NZS Sun, sort of. The bird thing has a kind of ruff around its neck which to me suggests that it might be a vulture, the Farsi messenger who carries souls skyward. So, that a vulture and the Fire God might have a conversation doesn't seem too far afield, for something to do between Zoroastrian funerals.

Its a snowman.
The news. [2003-08-10 15:14:00] Antwan
Oh, how the news taunts me. That temptress, haunting news.

Also, why hasn't Posthumous shown up so he can defend this monstrosity? Is he afraid? AFRAID!?!
What [2003-08-10 17:51:00] The Cheat
What the heck is that. Whats with the dang duck...and...the flaming ass. What is this...WHAT IS WRONG WITH POSTHUMOUS...I think he finally cracked, seeing antwan's back.
My loyal companions! [2003-08-10 18:23:00] Antwan
Now is the time... I will slay Posthumous thus gaining fame in the News!
Yes my lord! [2003-08-10 19:25:00] Nakoruru
And also thus getting 60 years to life in prison , all the while getting rammed by Bubba in the shower. You better hope he doesnt take your sheets , too , because after a few bad (or good , if you're gay)days , you're gonna wanna tie a noose and hang yourself from the ceiling of your cell. I wonder who will be next on the list for the trip to the slammer.... Kobe? I personally think he would whoop Bubbas ass. (I hope he doesn't like it)


And above all , why don't they legalize hidden weapons? If everybody carried a gun or a katana (like the Highlander), nobody would attack anybody with the fear of getting owned themselves? Just my thought for the day....
Everything is coming together. [2003-08-10 19:42:00] Antwan
Soon Posthumous will be destroyed, elevating me to a rank of power in the thingsihate news and, as a fortunate result, no more zirealisms will be published!

Also, I should bring to your attention that I've submitted "The Bunny" to SomethingAwful.com, if you're a fan of that sort of event.
Hey! [2003-08-10 22:16:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
Why're you so mean? Testosterone problem? Need to get laid? (I'm not volunteering!)
[2003-08-11 00:20:00] twins
I'm going to comment on this picture the same way I comment on something by David Lynch.
"Brilliant! (quietly) I have no idea what is going on in this cartoon."
[2003-08-11 08:17:00] Nakoruru
Alls I can think of is that penguins do not like the sun. Nor do I. I hate you sun , for making it all sunny....
[2003-08-11 08:30:00] laconic
I think the point is that the sun is a harsh mistress....that looks like a monkey....especially when you're a snowman....or something.
EXACTLY! [2003-08-11 09:37:00] Antwan
Why can't posthumous just stick what Laconic said under his comic in tiny font??? I would be a much less bitter person.
Cut&Paste [2003-08-11 12:27:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
I will try that with Cut&Paste.
The fatal flaw in your plans [2003-08-11 13:11:00] laconic
ahhhhhhh but Antwan, that would ruin the mystery.
Fatal flaw? [2003-08-11 15:13:00] Antwan
Have you ever heard of a "non-joke"? It's when you say something in the tone of a joke, but it's not really a joke. That's sort of what Zirealism is. It's a comic and therefor it should be funny. So you start laughing even though it makes no sense.

For further information on non-jokes, please consult your local library or http://www.sixsixfive.com/609.html
Hobos [2003-08-11 17:25:00] Morticia~

I had a great time at my step-sister's wedding yesterday (my first same-sex wedding
Morticia... [2003-08-11 17:52:00] Antwan
I was just about to inquire as to if Morticia finally crawled back into the horrible dimension she spawned from.

If I killed Morticia instead, would I still get in the news?
well [2003-08-11 20:52:00] laconic
There's only one way to find out.
Excellent point. [2003-08-11 21:43:00] Antwan
Where as a few people might miss Posthumous, NO ONE will miss Morticia! In fact, not only will I get in the thingsihate news, I'll probably be a national hero!
Not Morticia! [2003-08-11 22:37:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
I sort of like her. She seems like she would be from Burnaby. I bet she could write a ripping piece about partying on Galiano Island.
oh and antwat? [2003-08-12 01:20:00] Morty
On my first post, I was immortalized.
Check out "the morbidly obese" circa a couple a month's ago.
The ongoing saga of mort has gone for a shit.

Multiple Clothes [2003-08-12 01:54:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
My best coast-to-coast hitchhiking time was 3days&8hours from Washington, DC to Portland, Oregon. I left at midnight and got about halfway in 24 hours. Out in the middle of nowhere with the cold sleet blowing, I put on all of the clothes that I had. I had about despaired of getting a ride when a big sort of van stopped. The van was full of band musicians and their chicks, they gave me a bottle of wine and a funny cigarette and told me to get in back and get warm. In back, there were three double beds with mink bedspreads that the chicks had sewn out of old coats, so I got pretty warm for a hobo on the road wrapped up in mink.
Future Vision [2003-08-12 03:48:00] Vinno
I don't think it is a penguin...I think it's a snowman suddenly realising that he can see the future, and it's VERY short...
[2003-08-12 10:05:00] minna
its a battle to the death between snowman/penguin and the monkey sun god. im fairly sure the monkey sun will win however, because the snowman/penguin will melt/pass out from heatstroke before it can get close enough to land a punch.
Monkey God. [2003-08-12 12:18:00] Antwan
That is NOT A MONKEY GOD!
Chinese Fu Dog [2003-08-12 13:38:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
It sure ain't no damned Chinese Fu Dog!
welllllll [2003-08-12 15:17:00] laconic
I imagine it originally wasn't a monkey sun god but then when Posthumous heard you talking about how there won't be monkies in this comic and he changed it at the last minute. That's why he hasn't showed up...he doesn't want to fess up that he made it a monkey just to bug you.
or... [2003-08-12 15:54:00] Antwan
Maybe he hasn't shown up because I've already killed him.
Thanks [2003-08-12 18:47:00] Nakoruru
Thanks for reminding me to extract the dead bodies from my freezer. I don't owe you a tip , do I? But if I do , I can pay with pennies....or bottle caps , or discarded nail clippings with fungus growing on them. Take your pick.
Icarus [2003-08-13 15:44:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
Maybe the Sun God is telling the bird to go ahead and fly really high.
I don't think it's a snowman but rather from our perspective a conjunction of three planets, the farthest being hit by a gigantic comet. The deranged sun, whose gravity recently whipped the comet around to pummel the far planet, it hoping that it will cause a cascading reaction like pool balls and is hoping our collective readers' head, the target ball, will be smacked by the nearest planetoid we percieve.

Zirealism is all about what it's not.
Your idea intrigues me... [2003-08-13 18:57:00] Antwan
However, if your planet theory is correct, what do you make of the "nose" on the "penguin"?

Also, perhaps soon, all of you true-believers out there will get to learn what I hate! Isn't that just gee-golly super fantastic number one great?

*Note: Even if there is more to Zirealism than Posthumous shitting onto a piece of paper and scanning it, the "more" is probably just his piss or semen.

*Slightly more important note: Allright, I killed Posthumous, now some one hurry up and mention me in the news!
Penguins, WHERE [2003-08-13 19:38:00] The Cheat
I love penguins..I probably didn't spell it right. As Antwan's Trusty Sidekick, I demand they post his Submission. If you people can understand him! Anyways...Strong Bad hasn't got any new Emails..Which ticks me off. and Homestar is still a dumbass. Anyways...I think its time to JUMP
Holy Shit [2003-08-16 22:45:00] Andrewsarchus
Is a good song my mindless self indulgence, but this is incredibly huge on my moniter. I'm running 800x600, and I still think it would be big on the next res.

It's at least this big.

Hmm... sloped brow, broad nose, jagged teeth, and wild unkempt hair. It's a Neaderthal ghost haunting a fecal pinguin snowman. Maybe the coolest idea yet for a children's cartoon duo.

The possibilities...
are
endless
