I’ve been drawing comics for a long time. Often I’ll come up with a story or a joke that I think is high-flyin’-larious and get no response.

These are some of those stories.

The Cowpoke

October 25, 2005

It works if you imagine him saying “law school.” That’s the joke. It’s like… right now he’s tending cattle, but he’s going to study for a new career. Outlaw school. That’s it. That’s the joke.

Skydriving

This one isn’t supposed to be funny so much as sad and beautiful. But maybe it’s none of the above, I don’t know.

The Artist’s Wife

November 16, 2005

This one might be a little funny, but really it’s sad because this was the state of my marriage at the time. See also:

Coordinated Attacks

November 25, 2005

I guess this is a dumb pun that has become less and less funny over time as we’ve seen more and more senseless attacks. But once, in a more innocent world, I thought it was pretty funny.

Meaty Urologist

May 26, 2006

Come on. What’s not to love about a gratuitously goofy pun like this? Anyone? Anyone?

Hip Replacement

June 2, 2006

Then how about this one?
