Guys Talking 2

Aaaaaand we’re back on schedule with a gritty tale of crime and unicycles!

I think I decided these guys were gangsters because my wife bought me the Warner Bros. “Gangsters” collection for my birthday a couple of weeks ago, and while I haven’t yet had time to watch it, I’ve had Cagney on the brain ever since.  This guy seems to be attempting Cagney’s sneer, but the way his friends are looking at him somehow suggested to me that he was describing something fanciful involving ponies and ice cream (or perhaps a grapefruit attack) rather than an armed robbery.  The story evolved from there.

    Convincing story – I think I want to stab a nun in the face…..

    You’re losing me here Shoebox. The last few strips have been a real personal indulgance. Try a few back in the Partially Clip groove to see how it feels. Get a center, and then expand. You’re all over the place and a bit creepy too. It used to be fun here.

    Well, I was amused. When I read the reactions from his friends I thought he was trying to turn them into hardened fanatics who’d break at nothing in their coming crime spree. But apparently he just wants to share his horrible prison experiences.

    Well, we don’t want to lose Patrick. His taste arbitrates the world.

    FWIW, you continue to crack me up. You’re the second comic I check these days, right after XKCD.

    you should’ve worked a “hey, you mugs” in there somewhere. Hmmm, maybe that’s more Eddie G.?

    Top of the world, Ma!

    Lullers. It’s kinda like that South Park episode with the fanciful version of vietnam… Very funny :D

    Have any of you been to prison recently? Jonny is only exaggerating slightly. Pretty much the only bad part is the other criminals.

    As of the first panel, i thought it was going to be a “they all think like six-year-olds” joke. This strip amused me.
