Uninvited Guest
I liked the idea of a group of party guests receiving disturbing news that the food they've been nibbling was unsanctioned. It leads to a lot of concerning questions that would make for interesting conversations, and possibly some forced vomiting.
Sore Loser
I’m a casual video gamer who likes to play open-world games most of the time. I’ve never been too great at fighting games (can’t remember the button combos for the life of me) and I get an unhealthy internal rage when I get ‘blue shelled’ in Mario Kart. Does this mean I will disappear a kid if I have one someday? Not necessarily, but I’ll enjoy the years of challengless pummeling while they last.
Bike Commuter
Before my bike turned on me like a wild horse and bucked me onto my collarbone, I used to ride to work. It was only a mile or so and I never really worried too much about getting grease on my pant leg, plus my typical dark jeans would hide the grease anyhow. But if I wore loose fitting slacks, I would definitely be cognizant of the chain's dragon-like potential to eat my pants.
Have a good week!
Bug Corpses
I recently replaced a light bulb in my living room floor lamp and was surprised how filthy the shade had gotten. Seeing the inner surface go from a light brown to clean white plastic filled me with both satisfaction and shame. The design of the lamp has a crinkly posable neck, but luckily I've just left it vertical. Because if I had tilted it, I would have been showered with cascading dust and bug corpses.
Immortalized
I'm curious what the motivation is when someone carves their name onto a scenic landmark. Recently I've seen a sandstone wall at the coast and some trees with etchings and it got me wondering. It's possible that it's a way to say "I was here!" that feels more substantive than a selfie, but the carvings often left are just generic initials. Maybe one day I'll run into a full social security number carved into a mountain side.
Hope you're having a good week!
Hair Transplant
I think a combination of aging and seeing the story of that chimp who ripped off a face may have led to this comic. I was contemplating comic ideas and was curious if it's possible forgo the full face job and just go with a scalp transplant. Taking perpetual medication and hoping your body doesn't reject your new hairdo are the obvious downsides, but it might still be preferable to those spray paint hair options.
Have a good week!
