Monkeys = Comedy

From the "I should Title the Story" Dept.

Giggle worthy.

Most Wanted

(Before reading)

It's been a while since I did one of these, but I feel obligated this week. It's one of those issues that you're both simultaneously anticipating and dreading. Part of me is kind of sad now that I'm holding it in my hands, but as long as it's a well-written and satisfying conclusion, I shouldn't worry too much.

Y: The Last Man #60
Writer: Brian K. Vaughan
Pencils: Pia Guerra

(After reading)

I thought I would write up a typical non-review outlining what I liked about the issue. Y'know? Like I usually do? Just kind of free-form describe it without spoiling too much. I knew that dancing around spoilers in a series long wrap-up issue like this one would make it a little tricky, but I thought I'd figure something out and just wing it.

But, I just finished it and really don't feel like writing about it in any depth.

I'll just say this:
Brian K. Vaughan? You made me cry. I'm actually bawling right now. Big snotty tears. If that's what you intended, mission accomplished you bastard!

Most Wanted Panel:

(Actually, it's easily one of the best single issues of anything I've read in a long time. I really can't heap enough praise on it, and I predict it's going to have all kinds of award nominations at the end of the year. It's utterly fantastic.

But you really must have followed the complete run from the beginning to fully understand how fuckin' brilliant it is. Highly, highly recommended.)

Gorilla My Dreams

Feeling much better today! Thanks for the thoughts, here's a monkey:

One Year Later...


Some girls will sleep with any old charming monkey they meet at a costume party.

(Just ask sexynerdgirl...)

(*Duck!*)

Ug.. Brain Hurts!

Ok, I think I need help. I admit it.

I mean a few days ago, I'm searching The Google for funny comics (as is my wont!) and come across a single, out-of context panel that is so funny on the outset that I just saved it reflexively. I mean, if you stumbled across a Silver (Golden?) Age panel of a gorilla with a gun terrorizing a library demanding certain books to further his plot for world conquest.. well, you'd save it too! Trust me. You know you would.

But - and here's where I think I may have "teh brain troublies" - when I came across it again tonight, I thought I could make it funnier. Like that was even possible. I should have realized that right then and there.

But, NO! I furthered on with my first thought and came up photoshopping something that really suggests I need some kind of professional help.

Seriously ... who thinks up this shit?!?

*sigh*

(Oh! That reminds me! I need to free up some of my hard drive space and organize some "special folders!")

Happy Weekend, everyone!
