Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Why do some characters get nice eyes with whites and lashes and others only get dots? This is not the only artist who does this. I know sometimes it shows expression, âwide eyedâ vs not. And here it is probably to show that the blonde is more attractive than Elle, but i think its very discriminatingâŠnot sure the word we could use, like racist, but âŠ.cartoonist? no, that wont workâŠ.
âThe next load doth begin. Doth?:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Donât betray your ignorance. âDothâ is used a lot in poetry, which you would know if you had read much poetry.
I always enjoyed the opportunity to pop a bit of rhyme into the text of FBFW. I love to read and write poetry, and am partial to poetry that rhymes. A comic strip, like the dialogue in a play, has to have a cadence: a rhythm so as to move the audience smoothly along. Excessive commentary, even a single word out of place, can take you out of the moment and weaken the punch line. ie:
âWhat do you call a dog with no legs? âŠ.It doesnât matter. He wonât come anyway.â(This works.)
âWhat would you call a dog if it didnât have any legsâ⊠It doesnât matter because he wouldnât come if you called him anyway!"(This one you stumble over.)
It takes time to learn how to write with an economy of words; to be able to engage your audience thoroughly and not waste precious seconds on âroadblocks.â More after dinner speeches should be written this way!
I like poetry! And I like the limericky kind like this one, too! Westny77, you could use a little poetry in your life, obviously. Me thinks you doth protest too much â actually generalize too much.

I donât remember the poem itself, but one of our high school friends penned an âOde to a Vegetable Bowlâ that was good.
