I created the original comic of this joke nearly 11 years ago, so I thought it would be fun to do an updated version.
You can see the first one here – >> Pacman on Twitter

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…….
Facebook in real life – No. 2
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you did the things that you do in facebook, in real life?
Obviously, this comic is a continuation of the theme I touched on in my previous comic (see here).
Sometimes, the things that we now do online seem so normal, but if you take them out of the context of where we perform these actions, they seem totally ridiculous.
I suppose that this is one aspect of online culture which is both a benefit & a drawback, depending on how you view it.
I am not going to say much more here, except to warn you that there may be more “Facebook in real life” comics in the future.
If you have an idea of a facebook activity that you would like to see done as a comic, please leave me a comment and let me know.
I do not guarantee to draw every idea I get, but I am sure something will be hilarious enough to catch the “doodle treatment”.
Due to popular demand (yes, really.) I have begun adding some of my comics to t-shirts and other products, through Zazzle.
The products I have created so far are on the ‘MOMENTOS‘ page, for your perusing pleasure. More will be added as time goes on. Please also feel free to request any of my comics on a shirt, and I will be happy to make them available in the store. |

Modern mating calls
Media influences our language, often bringing popularity to words or phrases which then become a part of the “normal” spoken language.
Social networks & online media is no different.
Many words that use today may come from social media or the internet.
Think about it
– Have you recently said you would ‘tweet’ something?
– ‘LOL‘ed at a joke
– told someone you were facebooking
– asked if you can ‘haz‘ something? (cringe)
These terms sneak in so gradually that it feels natural.
This is not a bad thing. It is certainly not a ‘FAIL‘.
The language needs to keep evolving, as it has done since it was created, in order to stay relevant and reflect what we experience in everyday life.
So, the scenario above is not that hard to imagine.
If you know someone who has tried using “cool” terms like this to pick up, please leave a comment below and dob them in. They deserve to be PWNED.
