Vincent Macropod in “Now I Get It”
Reverend MattOkay, first off, here’s a slightly less crap version of last week’s cartoon. Sorry about that. I’m back on the horse, now.
I’ve had a pretty good week, actually. Productive! I’d been in kind of a slump. For some reason. Now I seem to be out of it! For some reason. Man, they oughta have a science about the human mind and its workings. What’s that? They do? Here, let me take a look. What, that’s it? Feh.
Anyway, why not take a look at this week’s cartoon? Why not? Tell me why not!
- Piece of string walks into a bar, orders a drink. The bartender says, “We don’t serve pieces of string here.” The piece of string walks out to the corner, and ties himself up in the middle, and unravels his ends. He walks back into the bar, orders a drink. The bartender says, “Hey, aren’t you that piece of string that was just in here a minute ago?” So the piece of string says, “No, I’m a frayed not.”
Did I say it was funny? No I did not.

Not only did I cheat and read this several days ahead of schedule, I laughed out loud. Hard. This is awesome.

The last frame frightens me beyond words, but in a good way.
The humor is, however, slightly offset by your outright dismissal of my profession (well, one of them, anyway).

Oh god, this made my sides hurt. You’ll be hearing from my lawyers!

Never in my life have I explained a joke like this. Never. Well, daily, but never. It brings me joy.

Oh, man, my brother used to use that “frayed knot” joke to punish insubordination from audiences! Good stuff.

That one was print-out-and-show-around-the-office funny.
