It's mostly because I went to indie/punk karaoke over the weekend, but now I'm imagining Mary Worth with a Le Tigre soundtrack.

I love that David Reddick couldn't even draw himself without those ridiculous loving smugbrows. Maybe that's why every character he draws has them too, he just doesn't know humans don't have to do that all the time.

Actually, I think that's supposed to be Lolbat from PvP. So maybe he accidentally took all of his comedy tips from that. Or Snuffy Smith.

Also 'Mazing Man (DC) and Forbush Man (Marvel), so he's probably a typical comic book fan who makes the mistake of thinking making a reference to something is just as good as writing an actual loving joke.

Which meshes well with the "Family Guy" visual aesthetic. Or whatever the opposite of "aesthetic" is.

the other plugs things in a USB port

one has difficulties functioning as a social entity
'cause he's 30 and still hung up on his high school identity

Wait, the schoolmarm's dad is also the ranch owner? Plot twist!

I don't think so. A woman's dad wouldn't call her "Miss Vance" unless it was a ridiculously strict household. Or at least somewhat uptight. And the guy's got a ranchload of cowboys, so what are the odds of that?

That looks like he took art of a guy using a computer and removed the computer to put in something that looks like a weird off-brand SNES (I don't remember what that model was called) without actually putting the control anywhere near the hands.

EDIT: Wait no there appears to be a keyboard tucked way to the left of the SNES for some reason? :confused:

That's a real hippo. That guy is actually shite at illusions but fantastic at transmogrification. Look at the expression of existential dread on that hippo's face. He just wanted to be a bench, not a hippo.

It is now aware of its existence, and how many people have sat on it. Truly, it is a cursed being. Theron is a monster.
