MythTickle by Justin Thompson for November 10, 2009

A narrow escape there, trickster-guy!

Looks like the joke backfired.

I love the Charlie Brown lamp! And I can relate to Dziva–just tonight I picked up the book I thought I was reading, and two paragraphs in, realized that I had the wrong book. Unfortunately I don’t have a spider to blame on that moment of stupidity. ;)

I have about four books I’m reading. I have to go back about a chapter to catch up every time. I should stick to one….

Now, aren’t you all glad we encouraged Justin to do this?

Another new blog went up yesterday. http://mythtickle.wordpress.com

Also, I was a guest last Thursday on Tall Tales Radio, a podcast about animation and comics and stuff. Check that out here: http://talltalefeatures.com/ttfradio/?p=342

And now Anansi is no more than an asterisk on the back of the book. (Say Hi to Obelix for me, Anansi)

No, he escaped. He went up, see? See where the balloon is coming from?

Good of you to clear that up, Justin. It took me a second look to find it myself.

I also loved the whole sequence with Boody and friends using the Go-Yo. That one’s a classic.

See, that’s why I went to a 2 on 2 frame format instead of the newspaper-constricting 4 panels across format. Ya’ miss stuff!

Garfield wouldn’t have missed.

Dziva seems to have emotional problems, judging by the way she goes into a deitycidal rage over a harmless little prank.

Nah, everybody’s just sick of Anansi’s pranks.

Wrong time, wrong place for Anansi.

I always love to see the Charlie Brown homage. Check out the lamp.
