Ka-boom



The watch has been a little less than vigilant recently, and look what's happened, a fireworks explosion of SPPs: (and how about that clever timely metaphor?)

I need to get back on the stick here.

Confidential to commenter Kris:
Uh, yeah, holy crap, that's me. What's up? Somewhere in my box of old VHS tapes, I still have a copy of our performance at Mid-stock '92. Those were the days, man.

    Hey, what about the July 3 Monty? That penultimate panel is not just silent, it's silenced.

    silent panels are about dramatic pause. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. to write a blog about this, to even contribute a significant part of your life to this, is a waste of your time. If this is the best way you can spend your time blogging, you have less imagination than the cartoonists you criticize. In the cartoonists' case, it's a wasted cartoon. In your case, it's a much bigger wasted part of your life. I hope you will find more fruitful endeavors with which to devote yourself, that could possibly change this world in a more significant way.

  19. hmm, it looks like this blog is a little dead, although very fun. I thought I'd share this in case anyone was still passing by:

    It's a comics scrambler I made using only silent panels from the Sunday comics.

  20. • You can’t “save” your best bowler for the 18th if the game is decided by the 12th.
    • You can’t keep third man and fine leg up for long if batters ramp and scoop.
    • You can’t rely on spin to “hold” when batters are prepared to take it on inside the powerplay.

  28. The silent penultimate panel is such a clever device when used intentionally, but as you've catalogued so well, it gets recycled as a lazy default far too often. The fireworks burst here is a fun exception where the silence actually earns its place.
