Where pop culture meets geek culture and they make out a little.
Fever Dreams
I will be back to comment some more on this and offer a form of explination in a whee bit but for now, it should be known that several things did happen at once in real life that lead to this:
- I was horribly, horribly ill this weekend
- I had a fever of a little over 102F
- I did have a full night of Fever Dreams (although not scary like in this strip)
- …and I ended up eating beef 3 separate times
As I said, i will explain more in a bit.
–Aleister
Death Cab for cutie – Twin Sized Bed
Mmmm, moocow tasty
Oddly enough, this made me want a hamburger even though I haven’t eaten meat in 3 weeks.
Poor crying cows.
dear jesus!!!! that poor unicorn
Oh enough with the damn bleeding heart routine. Animals (even fantastical ones like unicorns and the platypus) exist for only three reasons:
1. Be cute and entertain us at the circus/theme park/trunk of some dude’s car in the 7/11 parking lot.
2. Be eaten by humans.
3. Be hit by the cars of humans.
Animals serve no other purpose on this planet, period!
I fully agree, though the big weepy cow made me pause a second. Just one second though. Hamburgers are my favorite food.
And hopefully now my avatar will show…
I think the cow is sad because you didn’t finish eating it, and it thinks that it’s not good enough for you.
Here, here Tengu and Kerri. Good to see cooler heads are prevailing.
Woot, Kerri has a Avi!!
the style you drew for this was f’ing great! it turned out well man good job. i dont think i have ever seen any strip where someone eats a unicorn, only on n.r. i gotta say i can feel the amount of narcissism over my computer screen. “animals serve no other purpose on this planet” than the ones listed above eh. i dont think i could disagree with you all any more on this topic. i figured some of you would have at least read “animal liberation” by that one philosopher guy, uhh whats his name? oh well, time to kill, kill, kill. as long as its not you huh. someday we will evolve as a race. on a lighter note the strip was enjoyable and it brought about conversation!
Well, I guess we could skip the animals, and chop this philosopher guy up, and use him as food but I doubt he would be as tasty unlike Kangaroos.
P.S. Where are those sonnets?
P.P.S. Use #4 & 5 for animals: Experimental testing of drugs, cosmetics, crazed scientific experiments, etc
Use 5: meat shields for that random nut job who has to shoot something, granted this could fall under use 3.
Yes woo! Courtesy of Gilgrim. A toaster loaded sheep!
And I just remembered what the crying cow reminded me of. The laughing cow on Laughing Cow cheese, except… this one’s crying.
Oh, uses 6 and 7 for animals:
6. Amusing videos on Youtube.
7. Comic strip/book fodder. I remember when Frank Tieri was writing Wolverine. He said the one page/panel that got him more mail than any other thing he’d ever written was when the bad guy shoved the puppy into the oven. Not that I condone the puppy/oven combo but… nothing generates mail like it.
So what you are saying, Kerri, is that in an effort to boost site views we should do a long series of strips wherein Kilian kills cute/defenseless animals in a variety of ways…brilliant!
Hmm, getting some PETA hate will indeed drive the site traffic to new levels.
Ooo, and we need to send free promo fliers to PETA events too.
I don’t think I suggested that in so many words, but hey, the inference is still a good idea!
And what, you won’t let Gilgrim kill one or two?
Oh. And hey, The Book of Bunny Suicides was a bestseller.
Not exactly the same, but has anyone seen this one…
Bwahahaha.
Totally unrelated: My British friend went to the London premiere of Watchmen and said it was awesome. And get this! She’s friends with Dave Gibbons, who organized the group that went to the premiere. Of course I spazzed like a geek and now she might end up getting me his autograph.
How can I befriend said british person and also procure said autograph? I have bacon. I could give your friend some bacon.
And we all “know” how much bacon has on hand.
Next time she’s on AIM I shall ask. And dangle your bacon offer as temptingly as possible.
Hehe…”dangle your bacon…”
I think we can all agree that whether I’m dangling bacon, or slathered in it while wearing a thong, it makes for quite a tempting image.
