I’m not sure why exactly, but I think this is some of your best artwork ever. And I do find the comparison between Obama and Brando intriguing (not that that’s what you were going for, just that he’s doing Streetcar instead of Hamlet, but still…).
Thanks, Victor. I thought the drawing was pretty good but I wish I had figured out a way to lay it out better. I wanted you to see “Hamlet” first then “Stella”. But with all that white space surrounding “Stella” that’s the first thing people will notice. That screws with the flow, forces the eye to start there, move back to the sign then back to the right side. It undercuts the pop.
I didn’t think the composition hurt this comic, personally. You see he’s doing “Stellaaaaa!” (and very tentative and unconvincingly) and then you see the Hamlet sign and you wonder why it says Hamlet and then you go “Oh, he’s reading from the wrong script, out of touch with reality, etc.” and then the little rimshot of the balding hippie liberal suggesting that the problem isn’t that’ he’s completely unprepared and out of sync, just that he’s not communicating his message effectively.
But like I said, I really liked the art on this one, so A+++ all around fast shipper.
Anon- don’t be too much of a dick. That’s the rule. Ambiguous, yes. But I know it when I see it and you’ll know it when you see another one of your comments deleted.
Actually, poop jokes tend to get the biggest laughs. A large portion of comedic entertainment over the past several decades have involved potty humor. Just an FYI there Anon.
“Mr. Allies comics are seen far and wide beyond this site, but you probably didn’t know that.”
I’d break my anonimity, but where’s the fun in that. : )
Regardless, I’ve got that beat by a LOT. Mine are translated into German, Portuguese, and Spanish. Have fun preaching to rednecks, Eric.
Ahhh, so you are purporting to be among Mr. Allie’s competition in political satire circles?
So, not contenet with expressing your own opinions in your material, you feel the need to come to Mr. Allie’s board to insult him and his opinions; stating multiple times, if I remember correctly, that you would prefer if Mr. Allie did not continue to write his cartoons. If you are so positive that Mr. Allie isn’t in the same weight class as you, why do you expend so much energy in attacking his opinions?
Nevermind, don’t answer that question. I already know the answer.
For those of us who do not live life with the sole purpose of being the center of attention, and requiring affirmation of “awsomeness” from complete and total strangers, it’s quite nice. Thank you for asking.
See, now that doesn’t even make sense. There’s no “T” in “Anonymous” so the combination with “Retard” just doesn’t work. Conservatard however works PERFECTLY.
If you would like anything of mine on a shirt click on the SHIRTS link below. It will take you to Image Directly's site and they will be able to produce whatever you want. I should have my store up and working sometime this decade.
They use a state-of-the-art direct to garment ink jet printer that produces bright colors and sharp lines. It washes extremely well and will not crack. It's good stuff.
Thanks.

Sorry Mr Allie, my uneducated mind did not get it.
yeah this one was pretty confusing. I get what you’re trying to say but the execution fell really short.

Maybe the ass he should kick is that little ponytailed hippie….or his agent…

Looks like someone can’t take criticism.
Again, using the hippy just because “LOL IT’S A HIPPY” is gimmicky and isn’t funny. Like poop jokes. It’s just lazy writing.
See, you weren’t being too much of a dick here.
You know that post was funny. It’s all about

Timing.

That’s why it’s lazy humor. It’s much harder to be actually funny.
So you are a comedy snob? Interesting.
Veteran actually.
You’re a veteran of comedy? Wow.
I easily get 5000% more hits than this site. Not even kidding. Did an Alexa site comparison on a laugh. Oh, did I laugh.
Well, if you are counting site hits only…. you fail.
Mr. Allies comics are seen far and wide beyond this site, but you probably didn’t know that.
Uniques, easily.

Political comics? Nah, I’d never do something so retarded.
and we thank you for that.
What’s it like to live in obscurity anyway?
…said the anonymous one….
Only because I want to be. I get to hear how awesome I am on a daily basis from tons of great fans. This site is entertainment for me.
So yeah, what’s it like?

Oh, he mad.
…a hatter… *grin*
The funny part is in Shawn’s world he thinks he’s being funny. You’ve got about as much with as a Marmaduke comic.
Your rage is the only thing that’s hilarious. Got you so angry. I love it!
Come out come out wherever you are anonotard!
See, now that doesn’t even make sense. There’s no “T” in “Anonymous” so the combination with “Retard” just doesn’t work. Conservatard however works PERFECTLY.
Keep trying though. You’ll get this comedy thing.
(Probably not)
No, I think it works well with you
I’M RAGING OVER HERE!!! I CAN’T STAND THAT SOME ANONYMOUS POSTER ON THE INTERNET DISAGREES WITH ME! I WILL NOW GO CUT MYSELF!
lol, anon, do you really imagine your comments actually hurt my feelings?
^ me. Comp reset my name again. /sigh
You reply don’t you?
Replying = hurt feelings?
Ok, check back at most of these threads and see whose name shows up as the last poster. It sure as heck ain’t me. *grin*
Try harder to claim how not angry you are. It’s hilarious.
