Three Things That Make Me Laugh

More specifically, three webcomics. These three are part of a select few of webcomics that make me laugh almost every comic. And they each post at least three times a week.

Here, I am giving you something else to distract you:

1. Toothpaste For Dinner--updated daily, simple art, sarcastic and random humor:


Also this and this.

2. Strangegods--updated three times a week, featuring good jokes and a groundhog:


3. Wondermark--another three day a week webcomic, this one has old-timey illustration style while focusing on much more timely issues (see below) and featuring some fantastic creatures:



Tell me what you think!

Also, are there any webcomics or webcomicesque things you subscribe to?

Sophomoresque Designs

Back in the good ole sophomore year, I took the required computer science class, and got to choose 3 labs. I choose Photoshop and Illustrator, in addition to the necessary Microsoft Word.

In said class, we were required to make three postcards centering around the same subject. These are what ensued. I would like to apologize in advance for the less than stellar designing. This is more for a laugh than anything else.

The first image was supposed to be advertising for a movie:

And the second was for a book:

And the third was for a play:

Now, as for this last one, would not a Justice League themed musical be one of the greatest things you could ever hope for or imagine? I think yes.

How to Tell People They Are Wrong

Because I am very often right (chime in your dissent here) but go about telling people they are wrong in the (ironically) wrong way, I think that this is an appropriate comic:



Do respond.

Best Mural Ever

Have you ever seen those cheesy Christian murals of Biblical scenes like David and Goliath or Noah's Ark or some other more popular scene? Well I'm sure you always wondered why they never illustrated that passage from 2 King 2 where Elisha calls the she-bears out from the woods to maul the youths.

My dad calls it the first recorded instance of youth ministry. John Acuff has lamented this fact, and because of his lamentation, the good man Wes Molebash took it upon himself to get the job done. And oh did he:

Of Marvel + Disney

One of the better things I've seen on the subject:



If you care, what do you think will happen?

Of Mickey and Marvel

I have for you one of those events that will utterly surprise you and yet make you wonder why it is utterly surprising.

Disney has bought Marvel.

In a deal costing about $4 billion, Mickey Mouse and Magneto will be under the control of the same company. Aladdin and Captain America. Namor the Sub-Mariner and the Little Mermaid. All under the control of the same company.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. As long as Disney's stupidity doesn't rub off the already volatile Marvel, I will be content. But the moment I see Goofy in an X-Men outfit, I'm out.

I will say that while this is a very surprising event, it really shouldn't be. Marvel, one of the most successful and effective companies as far as visual communication goes, seems like a very adequate partner for the animated entertainment giant that Walt Disney has become.

I think Penny Arcade puts it quite well:
