like some kind of cruel game
Most of the time, employees do not remember to do this. When they do remember, it’s often a quick, perfunctory ‘down-up’ before handing the blizzard over. This comic was inspired by a particular DQ employee that no longer works there, but who would hold the blizzard upside-down and just stare at you. I mean he was a cool kid and everything (I’d dealt with him elsewhere) but he got kinda intense about the Upside-Down-Thick philosophy. The staring did not help. [January 17, 2012]
later we’ll talk about crushing and snorting candy rockets (hint: bad idea)
if it didn’t taste good we wouldn’t have this problem
no telling if I can keep these up
I often say that I do these comics for my own amusement but most of the time I am not actually outwardly amused. Okay, that didn’t come out right. What I mean is that it isn’t as though I sit there and draw a thing and then laugh uproariously every time. Sometimes I don’t even crack a smile. It’s the way you watch a comedy show on your own but don’t always laugh, even though you know what you’re watching is funny — you just sort of inwardly acknowledge the joke.
Why did I start talking about this? Is it bad that I’ve lost my own train of thought in less than a paragraph? Oh yes, I remember now. I love the middle panel of this comic every time I see it. I’m proud of both the writing and artwork. Even though I don’t usually laugh out loud at my own work, this one often prompts a chuckle, and that’s saying something about how much I like it.
