	[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Denis O\'Bell"][quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Denis O'Bell"][quote name="Fussbett"]It's like magic. Comic strips are no match.[/quote]Rees goes on for a fair number of words himself, if you follow your own link.[/quote]The comic I linked was only 100 words, and they are self-contained political comedies. However, you do have a point because there are also pictures, which we all know are worth 1000 words each. At 3100 words, I'm shocked I get through each one so quickly.[/quote]No, really. Go to your post. Click on the link in it. It takes you to a page of ten 3-panel strips, all posted on the same day, all about the tube.[/quote] Right, a running gag, but the comic I inlined was my favourite. [quote][quote][quote]Jerkcity's point, if you can call it that, is something like: I hate that bitch for reminding me of my own frailty/mortality. Or maybe just: When thinking about something makes me uncomfortable, I weakly feign indifference by making crude, unfunny jokes.[/quote]You just deconstructed the shit out of that comic. Pants hates Terry Schiavo and is afraid of death. That's not very mature at all.[/quote]Sarcasm? Seriously? If that was all I had, I'd consider not posting. Maybe you should toast another bagel.[/quote] Your post put forth the mind blowing idea that "Jerkcity is immature", which I measured with an electron factoscope and discovered that it weighs far far less than sarcasm. Still, you delivered it with a deadpan seriousness that can only point to insanity or insane trollity. Sarcasm was clearly the perfect response. [quote][quote] [quote] There's an immaturity comon to all these points of view, and a cowardice; a feeling that the writer is missing some vital internal fulcrum. In a word, I'd say: Unmanly. Fag.[/quote]I was SO CLOSE to simply calling the author of American Digest a fag, but then I lost my vital internal fulcrum and I went for the cheap shot[/quote]Come on. You're not even trying to address the point, here. You're just dancing around on the surface. I tell you you lack <i>virtus</i>, and you’re complaining about a little of the old Caltropic vernacular? You really are a fag.[/quote] It's a pot/kettle/black situation where you cast the first stone (like they speak of in your Earth bible) of immaturity (due to vital internal fulcrum lacking), yet back it up with immaturity ("fag"). Then you have the nerve to question the value of sarcasm like you're CS Lewis. [quote]Also, "{issue that helps my opponent} is distracting people from {issue that helps me}" is an old politician's trick, one you should know by now.[/quote] I'm not getting my news from Get Your War On, which seems to be your impression. The author is pointing out his frustration with {issue that helps my opponent} in a funny way. You disagree so much with {issue that helps me}, you come off like a humourless old woman. "Why would someone make such an insensitive joke?!?!" Next up you should attack The Daily Show. I hear their comedy goes too easy on Democrats. [quote]You can continue insisting that you didn't link to something stupid, approvingly, or you can let it go.[/quote] Inspired by Terri Schiavo, a man makes a living will that allows him to turn into a zombie and kill Tom Delay, should he try to approach. That's funny shit, motherfucker. That American Digest is stupid piled on top of boring. One took me 10 seconds to read and rewarded me with a laugh. The other took ages to slog through and all I learned was of one man's battle with his democrat friends. You *LOSE* the linking war, sir. [quote][quote][quote]If you have any time left over, I'd appreciate hearing any thoughts you have about proper humour writing as well. [/quote]I'm a mediocrity in that department, but at least I know it.[/quote][/quote] Don't bite my bagel bit if I'm so unfunny.[/quote]
