Yeah. We went there.
Friday, May 16th, 2008Some of you have just read today’s new comic strip and are about to write something like this
“Hey, Bob and Eric, I uh, see your little comic strip has, uh, taken a bit of a political turn in this here strip I see here, huh. Aren’t you, uh, a little afraid of losing some readers there with, uh, the political bent? Cause you know, uh, politics makes people kinda uncomfortable. What made you all think to do a thing like that? I mean are you sure you want to go there?”
Well let me just answer right now.
No you idiot. We don’t “want to go there.” We already went there.
Well “we” didn’t it’s more like I did. Eric just thought it sounded funny and drew it.
But I went there, got slapped with the sticker, tried to peel it off, and then found that a bunch of glue and paper was still stuck to my hoody no matter how hard I tried to get it off.
And that makes for comedy gold, Suckah!
See here is how it is, you overly-concerned-with-the-welfare-of-struggling-comic-strip-creators pantie-waist, “Boodachitaville” is about life. Life in the streets, yo. It is about my life. And Eric’s life. OUR LIVES, YOU DOLT! Our poorly depicted, overly exaggerated, often inane, incomprehensbley worded, fairly suburban, cartoonish lives, but our lives in the streets none the less, you villain (and by villain I don’t mean the word in the current sense of”wicked person” I mean the archaic sense of “country fool or bumpkin”.)
And the fact is is that I am into politics. No, not just the glamorous politics of local appropriations for sewer and street repair (even though I forgot to vote Tuesday sorry!) and Republican party precinct caucuses (because, sorry to surprise you! I am a Republican) but even into the muck of handing out information and signs for state and, gasp, national races. And that means that, lucky you, you babbling moron, are going to see that kind of filth in here. On occasion.
For you see, you powdered-wig-and-face,-silk-breeches-with-silver-buckles-wearing poltroon, although my sensitivity to the political sensibilities of others makes me completely capable of balancing my virulent conservatism with comedy to insure the accessibility of our comic strip to a huge audience, my life is not so completely consumed with politics as to wipe out other subjects. The world is to full of billions and billions of different topics for us to get hung up on just one thing. Although we did go on for a while about puppets…
And if you are worried about whether or not people are going to be offended by the views expressed on occasion here, well fear not, you plebeian dunderhead.
I can assure you that every effort will be made to respect and avoid offending anyone who comes to this website or expresses their opinions and concerns. And who gives us money.
–Bob
