Dumblr of Age

Me: So Shortpacked! got this character who's the "Historical Jesus". Y'know, he's Jesus like he probably really was: Short, brownish jewish man who yell about the end of the world and giving to the poor and all of that stuff.
Dad: Yeah?
Me: Yeah, the manager of the store rised him from the dead, 'cuase controversy makes is a good way to get advertising
Dad: Heh, Cute
Me: So there was a strip of all the characters going to see "the Avengers", and we see all of them after the movie: the Batman nerd says it could've used more Batman, the Marvel nerd says it's the best movie ever-
Dad: Well, it IS
Me: And then of one them asks "What did you think, Jesus" and we see Historical Jesus sitting there, shocked saying "That's the greatest movie I've ever seen" and then we see a tagline that says "the Avengers: the Greatest Movie Jesus Christ Have Ever Seen"
Dad: *Laugh* 
Me: And down at the bottom it says "Out of a sample size of "the Avengers", "Short Circuit" and "Short Circuit 2"
Dad: Huh? What's "Short Circuit"?
Me: It's a movie from the 80's about a robot
Dad: Why would Historical Jesus watch this movie?
Me: Oh! That's becuase ANOTHER character in the comics is a talking car and the  "Short Circuit" movies are his favorite movies becuase he's an A.I, too and...
Dad: ...
Me: It makes more sense when you read the comic
Dad: I sure hope so

Comments on a comic where a girl dreams a guy friend is in her room watching her sleep

David Herbert: He’s come to tell her he’s a vampire.
Plasma Mongoose: and that he has been watching her while she sleeps…
NCP19: He feels…protective of her.
Wonder Wig: “What was our math homework?”
Aizat: “Pages 14 through 25. Due tomorrow.”
TPman: “Thanks. I totally forgot.”
 “Okay. Goodbye.”
Ziaheart: Is that actually what happened in the book?
iRamble: No it isn’t. That’s fairly well written and funny. None of that is in those books.

So one of the things I did when I was in Indiana was go see David Willis! Like actually in person! And then I got a book. It was great.

(actually not all that) Funny story: the entire two-and-a-half-hour car ride to Bloomington I was all hyped up, thinking “Muppet, if he’s doing drawings you have to ask him for a Hot Shot. Ask him for a Hot Shot. Ask if he’ll draw you a Hot Shot it’ll be fun.”

And then I’m actually standing there being asked what I want drawn in the front cover and I’m like WHAT ARE WORDS I DON’T REMEMBER

And then I eventually managed to stammer out that Ethan was my favorite Shortpacked character and so the second picture happened.

(I did remember Hot Shot eventually, though. And as a consequence I got to show my brother, who knows nothing about Transformers except what I tell him, the origin of JaAm. I love watching people discover old memes.)

woooooooooo
