As always, thanks for your patience. I’m back up at Cornell, and tomorrow I’ll go buy some pen nibs. I can’t make any promises (I suppose I should just stop doing that altogether), but this week I’ll be updating as much as possible.
My blog has been discontinued. I’ve been doing so much blogging for my german class, that I guess I just had to create a blog. I may start it up again in the future, so now would be a good time to place bets on when that’ll happen.
Slapstick was made funnier by the flaws in old video. It made people seem like they were moving ridiculously fast, which made it even better. I believe we just have evolved to think we are above such primal humor, so we try not to think it is funny anymore, even though it was so much better than some (most) comedians today. People try to think worded comedians provide intelligent comedy, while slapstick is stupid comedy, because it is more primal. I think that is crap; let it rain pies!
little rascals and three stooges – *sigh* – that’s where it’s at!
I wonder how the pie-in-the face became so standard. I mean, pies are such a random object. I think a porcupine-in-the-face would be funnier.
pies are easier to recreate on television.
Well, I find it interesting that you never see a cheesecake in the face. Maybe because they’re NOT PIES!
i will ban you from this site if you mention that again.
I was always more of a Marx Brothers fan–you got both slapstick AND snide, witty remarks!
Gallagher suffered the worst fate of all!
This is a great strip… but seriously.. where did they go? lol
Good physical comedy is actually pretty hard to do. I’ve been hit in the groin a bunch of times, and it’s only been funny sometimes.
