I just finished a comic for submission to The Coast: It looks like a solid black square, but it’s actually an incredibly intricate pseudo-“trippy” line drawing consisting of a suffusing miasma of phallic images set in a background of utterly irrelevant nonsense. There’s some dialogue, too: “My brain is in the French press! We must harness the power of ninja tomato!” cries Captain BamJam to Billy Masonjar, and our intrepid hero responds with a hilariously witty rejoinder, “Pump up the magic flange, Captain! We need to get to egg land!!” Tune in next week for the next thrilling installment! —Not Cool Enough To Understand These Comics

As long as you don’t criticize fymynysts, it should be a winner.

Not Cool Enough To Understand ……phew!….and I thought it was just me! I’m very relieved!
Bill Keane vows Family Circus to get “edgier” in order to compete.
How does one prepare to pretend? Is the preparation itself a pretence? If so, if both the preparation and the pretending is a pretence, what if any validity can be ascribed to the entire exercise? How old are you?

10/10…will definitely read.
If Bill Waterson didn’t do it, I ain’t interested.
Ah another successful grad from NSCAD.
Scooter! Ahhh! (10/21, 9:16AM)
Um, shouldn’t that be “10/4?” Can’t you get anything right, you buffoon?
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Buffoon?
It’s a rating.
So Bro Tim, are you a closet NSCAD grad or something?
In his mind, art is useless, and so are all those who choose to study it. I wish I was com-pu-tor smart, I would make a Bro Tim comment generator!
“NDippers? I bet they went to NSCAD the Liberals are bad.” Would be an example of the comments generated.
I don’t think anyone reads those comics. Kind of like the LTWWL section.

Wretched offerings cartoon-wise. For shame, Coast, for publishing such tripe. Give me the brilliance of Krazy Kat or Popeye’s Thimble Theater any day over these self-indulgent naval gazers. The Side-Eyed Cat made me cough up more than 18 fur balls and the nickel I swallowed in first grade. Reading that cartoon made me, an animal lover, want to choke that fucking cat while screaming: ‘SHUTUP!SHUTUP!SHUTUP!’ I thought only Garfield could inspire such rage.
Bring back Opus and Bill.
Pretending can be fun until someone gets hurt.
The description of this cartoon blew my fucking mind but not in a good way. How much acid did you have to drop, OP, before you gave birth to this brain child?
Holy fuck! Can I buy the stuff that you’re on?
