I Hate Stuff Like This

So I get this comment in my “Bad Cartoons! Bad!” post:

I wanted to announce that BSI is hosting a debate on http://throwthebsflag.blogspot.com/ beginning October 1, 2007. We are inviting Bloggers from each end of the political spectrum to comment on the political cartoons we are posting daily. Feel free to express your opinion. Send an email to bs.industries@hotmail.com with the address to your Blog and we will post the link under “Links to Participating Blogs.”

Ugh…

OK, when I started blogging (before blogging was big), I did some comment spam like this to begin with (which I sincerely regret!), but nowadays this sort of thing just REALLY pisses me off.

If you want me to post about something, drop me an email and I’ll consider it, but don’t pull this crap.

So, for fun, I’ve gone and posted all of this over at the offending blog in their comment section.

Fair is fair.

Bad Cartoons! Bad!

andertoons8 Comments

OK, so I’ve had these two cartoons sitting on my desk for about three months now.  They’re bad cartoons.

They’re cartoons that seemed funny at the start, stayed funny long enough to draw them, but then, before scanning, all of a sudden seemed really unfunny or nonsensical.

Here’s the first:

Badcartoons1



It’s a frog and a princess and the frog is explaining some piece of paper to her.

The original caption was "Before we do this, how do you feel about pre-kiss arrangements?"

It’s making fun of pre-nuptial agreements, but it’s not very good.  Also, I’ve done one like this before, which didn’t occur to me until later.

Here’s the thing; I’ve already done the art, so I feel like I should try to salavge it with a new caption.  The best I came up with involved me deleting the piece of paper in photoshop so the frog could say "No, an air kiss just makes me a lizard."  And I actually did change the art and typeset the caption, but it still struck me as bad, so I deleted it all.

After three months, I’m pretty much ready to throw this in recycling.

Here’s another:

The original caption was "Unless anyone has any better ideas, wiffensnoofling it is."

The idea was to put a Seuss-like character into a business setting.

Ahem.

Again, all drawn up, and then it just laid there.  I tried another caption, "I have no idea, why profits are low, we need a new way, to make them go go.  Dang!  Now I’m doing it!"

I really tried to come up with a generic Seuss look to the character, but I don’t think it turned out very well.

Ugh…  Time for these two to go.  Bad cartoons, I cast you OUT!
