@fenga: Watched it a couple weeks ago.

@dagfooyo: At least he's not in a com(m)a! :V

I'll just see myself out now.

@Anonymous: It really is a keeper.

@TmsT: You know the end of the world is coming when you're tempted to write an essay on McPheron. Tell me there isn't an underground, maybe made up of voyeuristic bad humourists who don't have a daily delight in the completely horrible musings of John McPherson. I thought I was a bad artist.

@Rev_Kev: The Comics Curmudgeon writes at length about the unintentionally hilarious crappiness of Mary Worth, Family Circus, Archie, and the like.
And there's this CtH analysis: http://blog.tompappalardo.com/?p=895
But I'm not trying to say that performing autopsies on CtH cartoons is "already done", - if anything, I'm saying it's underdone. If you write an essay on this, I'll read it!

@TmsT: Oh, crap, I was writing a cartoon when I was 8 or something. It was crap, a duck, Perky Puddles, was my main character and it started out like "Peanuts," but then the spy adventures came and he and all his wildlife friends were defeating evil. I at least used an element of humor. Makky P has completely lost any sense of humor. He's reaching. Jesus Christ, when I'm high I can be funnier than that. It's like the bottom of the pyramid graph turned upside down. See? That was funnier.

@Rev_Kev: Heh. When I was 8 the cartoons I drew were about anthropomorphic boogers, usually as just a splash-panel action scene with boogers engaging in battles. By the time I was 9 I'd moved on to comics with more than one panel... about an anthropomorphic crocodile who would be in everyday situations until something went wrong and he would usually end up eating everyone or getting killed. My biggest influence at the time was Garfield, though I made no attempts at real punchlines or even storylines most of the time. That stuff's funny when you know a kid made it. When McPherson does it, it's a bit sad.

@TmsT: the last i did was "Dennis, The Hibernating Bear." My son still has them. but he won't give them up. Spoiler: If it happens, Dennis sleeps through it.

@TmsT: I wrote mine on the back of my dad's mechanical drawings. Free paper.

@Rev_Kev: I wrote mine on the back of sheets of paper that I got from school. I think they might have been school supply order forms. The teachers let us take as much as we wanted. Free paper! o/\o

@TmsT: Only those in the know.

@Rev_Kev: ~ Only pre-1980s kids will remember this: Free paper ~
~ Reblog if your childhood was this awesome ~

@TmsT: I used to draw shit and scribble all over it and tear it up and throw it it away.

The first comic series I ever remember making was something called "My Friend, the Ghost." It was about Pac-Man and some horrific zombie ghost hanging out together, doing whatever came to my mind. Typically, they had no punchline other than a pun or general randomness.

I also remember following the same pattern with an online comic called "Haand and Poopet," only about a hand and a puppet, and more based on the random aspect.

I hate younger me.

@Anonymous: My dash says Rev_Kev stickered it!

@Anonymous: What is "The Troll Fuck Yeah", Anon?

@wosis: It's when someone gives a post a Fuck Yeah to make other users angry that some odd post got a Fuck Yeah and they didn't.
