“GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
Grad school apps are not going well. Also, in case you were wondering, I registered temptationtoilet.com. I can’t believe nobody beat me to it! I’m thinking of turning it into a Web comic. My former co-writer and former artist already said they want to participate, so I’m expecting this to be great…
Allow me to give you a teaser courtesy of Jonathan B. Trust and my old Pix Capacitor files:
When we last left our contestants, it was decided that Joey is gay even though he is married to Nicky, Alex was kicked out of the show for not being charismatic enough, and Ash won a boxing match. Let’s see what happens now:
Mieke: In home country…
Jan: Shut your noise-hole! No one wants to hear about your home country.
Joey: Listen, everybody. We already figured out that this is a basement…
Ash: Have we?
Joey: I dunno, I just kinda assumed. Anyway, if we’re in a basement, then there needs to be a door going upstairs, right?
Mieke: …we have latch with iron lock to keep wolves from eating precious babies.
Nicky: Hey guys, do you suppose that that’s the door up there? At the top of the staircase? With the golden door knob? And the big red sign that says “Kitchen Door”?
Joey: It’s worth a try. Why didn’t we see it before?
Mieke: I saw it last Tuesday.
Jan: Well, let’s go. I’m still dying for a cigarette.
Ash: And I still have to go to the bathroom, although I think I lost my window of opportunity…
Nicky: Wow! This kitchen is %$#@&^% huge!
Joey: I got dibs on the master bedroom!
Ash: Umm, Joey, I think you have to share it with Nicky.
Nicky: Noooo way! Just because we’re married!?!?!
Jan: Actually, it’s one of the rules posted on the fridge.
Joey: Ahem, rule number one is: “Do not talk about Temptation Toilet Two.”
Ash: That’s not one of the rules!
Jan: Rule number one: “Joey has to sleep with Nicky no matter how gay everyone thinks he is.”
Joey: Well, that’s a bummer.
Nicky: What’s implied by “sleep with”?
Mieke: That mean you make babies… long time.
Nicky: %$#@
Mieke: Ezactly.
Ash: What’s that? I thought I felt someone’s presence here.
Joey: Oh cool. Are we in a haunted mansion?
Jan: No, rule number three says we can’t bring in ghosts, poltergeists, or any other paranormal visitors without proper authorization.
Nicky: Ohmygod! There’s something written on the wall!
Ash: “You will feel my wrath!” Huh, I wonder what that means.
Temptation Toilet was a mock reality show we published in out viewspaper some years ago. Since it was in print, the joke was that all of the characters were of ambiguous gender. We’ve been toying with turning it into a comic for years, but now I think we might actually do it. As you can imagine, this makes me happy.
Does anybody know of any good, free ways to host a Web comic?
I like Mieke! That is some good, funny stuff you have there. I don’t know anything about Web comics, so I’m not the person to ask, but good luck with that! Sounds great so far.
