This is under the bridge we’ve been seeing for a few days. As I got to the nearest support structure, I found clear indications that someone had been living there. Lots of AAA batteries rusted away and various personal hygiene supplies littered the area like… uh, litter. I stuck my comic book down and took [...]
{“Book binding, Bridge building…” “Chess Variants, coagulating, deconstructing, dream analysis, dusting, eel skinning, entropy, empathy, frenology, grouse hunting, haberdashing, heuristics, horse rustling, invisibility, invisibility, jousting, juristry, kiting, knitting, lava fleeing, llama fleecing, lunar landing, mime, morse coding, mutating, nesting, ovulating…” “I’m gonna go ahead and say you’re overqualified for everything… ever…”} Wow, another rare [...]
Yeah, a lot of the jokes from this book make about as much sense as this one. Also, I don’t know what the hell pen that is. I can tell the 2 or 3 pens I usually draw with, and this isn’t any of those. Also it’s not a G2, which I used to draw [...]
Yesh, this is another joke about people reading and not getting my jokes. Don’t know why this book has so many of those. I was feeling insecure about my drawings at this time, probably. I feel totally secure about my comics 99% of the time, and then the other 1% of the time I’m showing [...]
{Wow! Jesus, Buddah, and Elvis in the same shot! I’m gonna be a millionaire!} You know what I just realized? This joke doesn’t make any sense. The finger-over-the-lens trope is about small snappy cameras, there’s likely no way to do that with most camcorders. Sorry. -Olaf
{Mom! I wanted a Super Mario Balloon, not a Ron Jeremy balloon!} Oh, yeah, sure. Tell me I’m wrong: Also, since I was able to easily google an image of Ron Jeremy as Mario, this is going to have to be filed under ‘easy jokes.’ Also also, it’s really awkward to sit in a [...]
Ah, the trope of the interrogation room with the solitary swinging bulb. I’m pretty sure police departments can afford light bulbs, and that police officers would rather be in the presence of a known or suspected criminal with some adequate wattage so they can actually see the criminal. But the trope persists, I just saw [...]
“This’ll be cool, you said. I’ve seen it in the movies, you said. Well it didn’t fucking work, did it? Now you ain’t said shit!” So another comic I considered ditching to the vagaries of time, but I actually want to do this one over at some point, so I’m publishing it as a [...]
So apparently the internal debate was still raging when I drew this as to whether to go with the name I went with or “Drawn on a bus”. The latter, while more accurate, was simply unmemorable. This is a good joke and I like it and there’s nothing else to add. -Olaf MeBadBlogGuy
{I’m so broke, I’m centsless! <– It was approximately here that the cartooner realized that this was a stupid joke, and should not be pursued.} Yeah, sometimes I realize a comic is one I don’t like while I’m in the middle of drawing it, and as I see it, I have three options. 1. [...]
So this is the follow-up to yesterday’s comic. I never know whether to post these in the forward direction, the way that you my loyal reader, will enjoy them, or to put them in reverse order, so that future people paging through backwards will enjoy them. Also don’t know what the hell’s up with that [...]
A very simple joke for today. Less a joke than a nostalgia moment. This was drawn on the day Kodachrome died, also known as the day Paul Simon made a shit-ton on royalties. They had also stopped making Polaroid film shortly before then, although some enterprising people have since started making it again, though it’s [...]
I hate this comic, but I don’t have any images processed right now, so you’re going to have to suffer along with me until I have a chance to get some comics pressed through the works.
{Tommy Tuna! World’s Greatest Fish Boxer! “World’s ONLY Fishboxer.”} Coming soon to an arena parking lot near you! Fishboxing! A sport so new it only has one participant to take it on! Only one man is dangerous enough, brave enough, and powerful enough to box a fish. Tickets are still available! All of them! [...]
So that little box thing is attached to the wall, but I have no idea what it’s there for. There’s a place inside, but I don’t know what you’d keep in there. It’s too weak to hide a key, and it’s not very well hidden, anyway. Gah! What is it??? It’s driving me bonkers now. [...]
This is the pile of bricks that have been sitting behind our house. I was a little low on pics and there was no sun about so I hadn’t had a chance to shoot these for a few days. There’s a rather special set of conditions that work best for shooting comics with an iphone. [...]
So this joke’s got a ‘b’ version, but I thought putting a bus there would help you get the joke. Does it read? I’m not sure, so if anyone needs an explanation, please request one. Yes, that’s how we’re going to do that from now on. If you don’t get it, ask, I’ll bore you [...]
{You Are Not Here. “What use is that?”} Closeup get! So here’s another one in OO5, makes me think I should draw with those more often. I like the details. This image is heavily photoshopped, if I’m honest (well, Camera RAW’d anyway), the lighting behind the Walgreen’s is contemptible. The whole tonality is [...]
{I invented the Internet! We’ll connect the world!} Hey, first a closeup: There’s little to say about this comic, except I love that dude with the ponytail. And I think this drawn with a 005, but it could be a 01, I’m not sure. People all jokingly know that Al Gore said [...]
Alright, I will readily admit that I don’t always know what the hell I was thinking about when I look back on my comics. This is a prime example, as it’s been several years since I drew this comic, and in the intervening years the cliffs of my memory have been eroded like… cliffs eroding. [...]
{I don’t know if it’s more Meta or Retarded… How’s Metarded?!?} So here’s about the best I’ll probably ever draw a hand. It’s not very good, but it is a hand. You may be asking yourself, “Self, why is the site called Me Good Draw Guy when he doesn’t seem to be very good [...]
{Op,wait a minute, Hang on, something’s gone horribly wrong!} It’s strange, I’m not sure when I started doing the boxes on the page, or why, or when I stopped, or why. In a way it looks good, traditional, but it’s a pain in the butt not to smear the box when you’re drawing inside [...]
This is what is just around the side of the bodega in yesterday’s photo. I do not know why it is there, but it has been there for weeks. It’s a weird thing living in the ghetto sometimes. People think there’s all kinds of muggings and stabbings and things to fear. But that’s not the [...]
So, ok, so I’m not a hundred percent sure, because it’s been a few years since I drew this joke, but I’m pretty sure this is supposed to be an I’m not Rappaport riff. So what’s that? Guy’s walking down the street when a stranger approaches him and says “Hey! Rappaport! What happened to you? [...]
This is a favorite joke of mine, just because it’s so delightfully silly. I have always had a soft spot in my gut for puns, and moreso ones that are awesome. The funniest thing is, I don’t think anyone else finds this one funny. I’ve tried to make this one happen in conversation, I’ve tried [...]
{Can you do a double windsor, actually?? I’d like to go out with a little class.} Ok, I can now say that there is something under the ‘Double Windsor” tag. Did you know that I had to go out of my way so that I could have two-word tags? So that I could do [...]
Now if there’s one thing you know about me, it’s that I am a man who is loathe to correct graffiti. That said, I take issue with this particular tag, not because it is on raw wood, which is particularly obnoxious, but because it is not factually accurate. Hunger doesn’t kill. It’s really starvation you [...]
