Of course, everyone must have their own version of this “If life’s a journey” theme. After extensive thought (for almost 10 seconds) here’s mine:
If life’s a journey, I want to travel first class with a plane full of comic cheerleaders. (Instead of cheering for sports teams, they’d cheer for comic creators.) Their hobbies would include giving massages, jumping jacks and chess.
What’s your version of “If life’s a journey?”
Post your ideas here in the comments section below this comic. Have fun, but keep your remarks relatively clean–PG13 or at least a soft R-rated–because…hey, you never know. Your mom might read this.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Woman at airport. She's just exited a plane.
WOMAN: If life’s a journey, I want a better seat…and free cocktails!

I’ve rewritten this gag several times over the years. I think I finally got it right, but I do miss one of the gags I cut. In the original version, the woman also rented the guy’s favorite movie: The Three Stooges Meet the 50-Foot Woman from Uranus!
The things I do for art…
↓ TranscriptWOMAN (to man): For your birthday, I filled the pool with beer...and invited all your pals over for poker and porn!
MAN: Yeah! You left the toilet seat down again!

Writing a gag for art that has no visible people in it is always a challenge. For a long time now, I’ve been wanting to come up with a great gag for this piece of art. This is the best I’ve come up with (so far) that’s reasonably clean!

I was going to use this art for a joke about the fear of flying. But I kept getting distracted by the guy’s cigarette. Nobody smokes on planes these days. A guy would have to be a real fanatic to even try. Hmm…
By the way, there really is a bill in Congress right now that would give the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate tobacco products. If it passes, things could get interesting!
↓ TranscriptCAPTION: Three reasons why tobacco shouldn’t be regulated by the FDA!
GUY SMOKING: If you ban cigarettes then only criminals will have cigarettes!
GUY SMOKING (again): Cigarettes don’t kill people! Cigarette smokers kill people!
GUY SMOKING (still): I still have one lung that works…sorta!

Hopefully, before next month rolls around this guy will discover that you can read comics for free on the Internet! Otherwise, things could get messy…

↓ TranscriptCAPTION: In the brutal, ancient past before web comics existed...
MAN (talking to mother of girl he's embracing): We're getting married! In fact...You're practically a Grandma!
MOTHER: Dream on! You can’t support a family! You spend all your money on comic books!
MAN: T-t-then I'll give up comics! I'll go cold Turkey!
CAPTION: "I took up smoking and drinking! Anything to keep
my mind off my cravings! But then...I had an idea!"
MAN: I can still buy comics...if I sell one of my kidneys!
MAN: But...what'll I do next month?
