The Pathos Series

This past Friday I spontaneously introduced a sidebar panel. The idea is that I can make more comics if I just stick to a single panel and not try to make it any good. Basically, it’s mindless eye candy.

Back in the day, I used to put out a daily panel. It wasn’t easy, but I kept it pretty simple. It evolved into a multi-panel serial comic that’s rarely updated. That’s kind of like- not having any comic at all.

How often is “Pathos in the Plumbing” expected to be updated? I’m not sure yet, but I’m aiming for quantity over quality, and while it isn’t meant to replace the serial, it will most likely conflict with the serial and even retard its production.

This doesn’t mean I’m abandoning the main serial. On the contrary. I’m using the Pathos series as practice. That’s why it’s OK if the panels suck or completely lack any sort of reason or sense. I need the exercise, and it would be kind of a waste to bury these synaptic excretions.

Again, I just want to mention: It’s not supposed to be anything particularly well written or produced… It’s some of the pathos leaking out of my mind. Try not to take it seriously.

The Aussie in New Zealand

An Australian was walking down a country road in New Zealand, when he happened to glance over the fence and see a farmer goin’ at it with a sheep.

The Aussie is quite taken aback by this, so he climbs the fence and walks over to the farmer.

He taps him on the shoulder and says, “You know mate, back home, we shear those!”

The New Zealander looks frantically around and says, “I’m not bloody SHARING this with no one!

Keeping Victoria’s Secret

Things men SHOULDN’T say out loud in a Victoria’s Secret store:

9) No Thanks. Just sniffing.

8) I’ll be in the dressing room going blind.

7) Mom will love this.

6) Oh the size won’t matter. She’s inflatable.

5) No need to wrap it up. I’ll eat it here.

4) Will you model this for me?

3) The Miracle What? This is better than world peace!

2) Forty Five bucks? You’re just gonna end up naked ANYWAY!

And the number one thing that a man should never, ever say out loud in Victoria’s Secret:

1) Oh, honey, you’ll NEVER squeeze your fat ass into that!

Firehouse System

A man who worked for the fire department came home from work one day and told his wife, “You know, we have a wonderful system at the firehouse.
Bell #1 rings, and we all put our jackets on.
Bell #2 rings, and we all slide down the pole.
Bell #3 rings, and we are on the truck and ready to go!”

“So,” he continued, “from now on, we’re going to run this house the same way.
When I say Bell #1, I want you to strip naked.
When I say Bell #2, I want you to jump into bed
And when I say Bell #3, we’re going to make love all night!”

The wife seemed pretty agreeable with this arrangement.

The next night, he came home from work and yelled,
“Bell #1!”- The wife took off all her clothes.
“Bell #2!”- The wife jumped into bed.
“Bell #3!”- They began passionate loving.

After two minutes, the wife yelled, “Bell #4!”

The confused husband asked, “What the hell is Bell #4?”

“More hose!” she yelled, “You’re nowhere near the fire!”

Elevator

A blonde, a brunette and a redhead were getting on an elevator.

As they walked in, they noticed a small puddle of white liquid on the floor of the elevator.

The brunette bent down for a closer look and stated, “It looks like cum.”

The redhead stooped down a little closer, sniffed through her nose, and proclaimed, “Yes, and it smells like cum.”

The blonde put the tip of her finger into the puddle and touched it to her tongue, shugged, and said, “Well, it’s nobody from our building.”

Fornication

At a family get-together, a young boy of about 8 years of age asked, “Dad, what does fornication mean?”

The father freaked out. “Where did you hear a word like that?” he demanded.

“From Uncle Charlie,” replied the son.

The father charged off to confront his brother-in-law.

Of course Charlie didn’t have a clue what the problem was and explained that all he said was, “For an occasion like this you’d think they would serve champagne.”

I’m not really in the mood for this.

This past week was generally uneventful, and for the most part I’ve just been taking things kinda easy. And why not? Usually things don’t seem to go my way, so when the forces of the universe ease off, I think I’m entitled to a little R & R.

So I’ve got a lot of things to do today, and among them are mowing the lawn, rearranging the furniture, and getting things ready for the coming work week. Oh, and the jokes… I still have to get those in the queue. It doesn’t look as though I’m going to have time to work on the comic.

What happened with the comic? Well back in March, I had a major debilitating incident with my back. As a result I replaced my computer desk chair with a La-Z-Boy, and got rid of the computer desk. Now I surf the internet from the recliner. While it’s more comfortable for surfing, it’s absolutely worthless for creating and editing graphics.

So I’m going to try to rearrange a few things… Maybe it will work, but probably not… but if it does, then it might help me get back to working on the comic.

Breastfeeding

A man riding the bus was minding his own business when a gorgeous woman sat next to him and started breastfeeding her baby.

For some reason the baby wouldn’t nurse, so she said, “Come on sweetie, drink up or I’ll have to give it to this nice man next to us.”

Five minutes later, the baby was still not feeding, so she said, “Come on, honey. Take it or I’ll give it to this nice man here.”

A moment later, the anxious man blurted out, “Come on kid. Make up your mind! I was supposed to get off four stops ago!”
