Against a drab background

The image size limits on Blogger are really getting to be a thorn in my side. Here's a hotlink to the full image on my DeviantArt account which I have for some reason.

Kanaya: Mental breakdown.

It's getting to that point in the year when I don't seem to draw very much. Or... even less. To tide you over, here's a joke that will only make sense if you read Homestuck, and will still seem kind of trite and obvious in that case.

Nor the years condemn

GENERAL: I say, Jeremy! Good news! The Germans are ready for total unconditional surrender! JEREMY: I say, what ho! Fantastic! Join me in a drink of brandy to celebrate. Now, I was thinking, wouldn't it be especially poignant... if the Armistice agreement was signed at the eleventh hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year? GENERAL: Tally-ho! Indeed! ...But the 11th year passed before the Great War began. Oh, well, we'll just have to continue the senseless killing of innocent soldiers from both sides in a standoffish manner until the year 2011! JEREMY: Cheers!(This is an old one - November 1999, or thereabouts.)

No, Grover. You are the monsters.

The deleted original ending to The Monster At The End Of This Book:(The likelihood that someone has already done this joke is so great that I'm not even going to go and check.)

Don't spend it all in one place

continued...

Occasionally you would be prompted to draw anything you like, in order to start a new chain of drawings. These are some of the things I drew. None of them got a response from any other user, and were thus forgotten forever. I cannot account for why this should be.There is an angel. People are bleeding.
The man nails his hand to the table. He is pleased.
A shark is pretending to be a shark. It is an old joke.
A demonic beast confronts a helpless child. There is no hope.
The surprise birthday party will never proceed. He is dead.

Chicka-ba goom wap mace?

I've not been doing any proper drawing but have recently spent some time on Doodle Or Die. This is a web site where one person draws something, the next person tries to describe it, another person tries to draw that, and so on and so forth until somebody draws something racist (because THE INTERNET, that's why).

I felt like preserving some of my doodles for posterity (let's face it, if I don't then nobody will.) The text shows what I had been prompted to draw in each case.

And they'll crucify you and then they'll say 'good luck'

Experiment #1: To determine the effects of smoking cannabis bought from friend of older brother. Results: It caused a sensation known colloquially as being 'high'. This EXACTLY confirms my hypothesis.This is closer to my original intention. Except for the A Softer World vibe; I'm not quite sure where that came from.

I'd buy that for a dollar

At the board meeting... (yammer yammer business business) (SMASH) (grrr) EXECUTIVE: Gasp! It's Robocop! ANOTHER EXECUTIVE: And he's brought evidence implicating Vice-President Dick Jones in the criminal conspiracy! DICK JONES: Curse you, Robocop, with your robotic crime-fighting abilities! But I'm not beaten yet! I'm taking the old man hostage! Now get me a helicopter... or else! ROBOCOP: ++ERROR: I CANNOT ACT AGAINST AN EXECUTIVE OF OMNI CONSUMER PRODUCTS++ PRESIDENT: Dick... you're FIRED!! ROBOCOP: ++GOOD THINKING, MR PRESIDENT++ ++NOW WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT OUT THE FOUR WEEK NOTICE PERIOD++Once an artist has mastered the forms of their chosen medium, he or she becomes free to subvert them by producing work that, viewed out of context, would appear objectively to fail on a technical level. It's just a shame I haven't reached that point, because it'd make it a lot easier to get away with stuff like this.

No-one knows these things but me and him

SUIT: Mr Dennisham. I know you're not thrilled by the idea of selling. But I believe... [writing] ...we can make a very tempting offer. DENNISHAM: Two hundred and eighty thousand? SUIT: ...Yes. DENNISHAM: Why didn't you just *say* it?I want to discredit this trope. Is it really just me? Nobody does this.

Habt ihr... unter den Boden gesucht?? -.....neeeiiiinnnn...? -Es... es ist doch die EINZIGE Schlupfwinkel im Haus. Wo habt ihr gesucht?? -In dem Faß, under dem Tisch, und nochmal in dem Faß. Später: -Glückwünsche, Standartenführer Landa! -Noch ein Triumph an Intelligenz und Psychologie!Seriously, how many times had they already searched that farmhouse?

Reckless deployment of spoilers

You should probably watch the first series of The Wire before reading this. I mean, you should probably watch the first series of The Wire even if you're not going to read this (that's actually a better idea.)D'ANGELO: Yo Stringer... where's Wallace at? Where's Wallace? Where Wallace at, String?? STRINGER: Dee... D'ANGELO: LOOK AT ME! WHERE THE FUCK IS WALLACE!?
(Also, you should probably grow up in the UK, Australia, Holland, Poland, Brazil, South Africa, Portugal or Spain before having read this.)

Like the exact opposite of ants

MAN 1: It still hasn't really sunk in yet. WOMAN 1: I'll just never understand why he was trying to cross here! I mean, there's zero visibility and the drivers never slow down. MAN 1: Right, I think we're clear nowOH JESUS CHRIST NO!! MAN 2: See, the tragic irony is that they were only trying to commemorate their friend who had suffered the same fate. If nothing else, at least the floral tributes will alert people to the accident black spot. WOMAN 2: Yeah. MAN 2: Now of course we need to watch out for VEHICLE: BAAAAAAAAAARP WOMAN 3: So you all know people who got run over here, too? What a coincidence. CARTOONIST: I should probably think carefully before publishing this.There's a little room for ambiguity in the comic, so I'd just like to take this opportunity to make it absolutely clear that they all died.

Injuries I Have Narrowly Avoided, episode three

Venue: Leigham Court Hotel, 2006.
A rock and roll moment. Also: contains a glaring historical inaccuracy.
#comedyforum, 22/07/2006
[SolidJim] I broke a hotel TV last week.
[jmwilliams] ah ha ha ha.
[jmwilliams] mmm, go on.
[SolidJim] I said to the manager, "Sorry, I've broken the TV, but I will be happy to replace it."
[jmwilliams] you did not! goodness me.
[jmwilliams] do go on.
[SolidJim] She said, "Are you any good at decoding electromagnetic signals and displaying images?"
[jmwilliams] a likely story!
[SolidJim] That's the punchline.
[jmwilliams] but continue.
[SolidJim] That was the punchline.
[Phil_A] Did you replace the TV?
