Heroic Computer Problems

Heroic Computer Problems published on 15 Comments on Heroic Computer Problems

This is the real reason superheros prefer to punch things.

I always wondered why the computers that superheros used, were so big, or seemed to be controlled just by a few large buttons.
To see what I mean , take a look at this pic of the Superfriends and their computer in the Hall of Justice.

Superfriends Computer

That thing is MASSIVE, and has very little in the way of a keyboard or mouse that would require them to touch it.
And looking at the picture, you can see how the are all too scared to even really approach it.

So, I am now convinced that this is one of the major causes of Superhero violence in the Marvel & DC universes.
Sure, it is great having powers and super strength. But if you could not play WOW, or tweet, or facebook, or surf for porn, whatever, then how would you feel?

I bet you would soon want to hit someone.
Really really hard.

Superpowered folk are not really fans of violence – they just really want to be able to play flash games & poke their friends on facebook like everyone else.

I think there is something in that for all of us, don’t you?

UPDATE: In response to this comic, to valiant twitterers have joined in the fun and linked me to their comics, which also make fun of Superheroes and computers. These are great and I thank them both very much!

Fighting Santa

Fighting Santa published on 6 Comments on Fighting Santa

This year, Santa is ready for anything……

I originally did the basis of this comic as a special request for a fan (you will know who you are).
But I just love the idea so much, that i just had to share it with everyone.

As well, this comic has spurned another idea, which I hope to have ready to share soon.
Don’t worry – the fan is also getting something very unique, so it is not like they are missing out at all.

I would also like to thank all of the readers of my comics, for sticking with me so far.
I draw these comics because I love to draw. But I keep drawing them because you, the reader, seem to think they are funny.
So, I will keep on making them, thanks to you.

 

And lastly, please enjoy this special video from Santa:

 

Public Safety Announcement

Public Safety Announcement published on 6 Comments on Public Safety Announcement

I had to put this comic up, as a public service to humanity.
Frankly, I think you should nominate me for a Nobel Peace Prize, for warning the world of the impending danger of Chuckmas.

This is kind of a follow on to my previous comic, and is the closest I will get to having a story ark for readers to follow.
So, I hope you liked the story. I trust it did not bore you, and that you feel I developed the characters enough to draw you and build an empathy for their plight.

No?
OK then. *Sigh*

Well, just get on with adding a comment below containing your favourite Chuck Norris or Santa jokes below.
You know, like “The saddest moment for a child is not when he learns Santa Claus isn’t real, it’s when he learns Chuck Norris is.”
I know that is all you are thinking of right now, isn’t it?

I bet you are not even reading this…….

Anti Social Network

Anti Social Network published on 7 Comments on Anti Social Network

We should have guessed it would come to this…..

Seriously though, if you are a social networking user I am sure you have had someone say “that’s it! I am over it. I am leaving (insert social network name here).”
It may have even been yourself uttering those words and vowing to leave the fold.

Social networking is great and terrible both at the same time and is what I feel the internet is ultimately meant to deliver to us.

Social networks can bring us together, or make us feel lonely and unappreciated.
They allow us to highlight the fabulous things we do. But they also broadcast or failures and stupidity in speeds never before thought possible, to an audience beyond your imagining.

These networks goad us into wanting to be connected to others. To virtually scream “Look at me”.

And this same want to be part of the network can be a drug that, at times, you cannot stop.
You MUST update your status or play Zooville / Mafia wars, or the world will end!!

Disconnecting can be as beneficial as connecting and can often be the choice that, if taken, would have negated many issues we hear about on the web.
Many of the flame wars, twitter fights and facebook melees could have been stopped before they got ugly, just by putting down the mouse & backing away from the computer. That is not an easy thing to do though.

After all, that social network is all about YOU, isn’t it. People will take your side and back you unequivocally.
And YOU can say what you want to and no-one will want to put in their comment, because a fight in a public online space is private.
That is right, isn’t it?

No, of course it isn’t right.
So, if you are reading anything here that sounds familiar, I encourage you to handle Social networking situations in the way that I sometimes do.

Push back your chair, flip the bird to your computer screen and go for a short walk outside.
The internet will be there when you return – hopefully with your common sense reserves back at maximum.

By the way, if you do not know what “flip the bird” means, please enjoy this instructional video:
