Good evening, comics fans! I’ve decided to invent a new character to talk about; an entirely fictitious personage named Surly. Now, Surly is a crotchety old dude who doesn’t play well with others, so he stays home and plays with himself.

He recently called his local highway department to complain about the “Deer Crossing” sign near his house. “Too many deer are crossing there and getting hit by cars,” he explained. “Please have them cross somewhere else.”

He plugged his power strip into itself and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t getting any electricity.

He worked at an auto dealership at one time as a technician. Once, when I took my car in for repair, I discovered it had gotten locked with the keys inside. When I arrived, he was working on the driver’s side door. I instinctively tried the passenger side door; it was unlocked. I pointed it out to him, and he said, “Yeah, I know – I got that side already.”

Does anyone else know Surly? I’m sure there must be a lot more stories about him…
