Artistry

Artistry

I did have a rant planned that hilariously compared Sydney Airport to a badly designed platform level. After careful consideration I realised two things -

1) No-one wants to hear about how hard it was for me to find the Qantas domestic departure terminal in Sydney airport. (There are two, apparently.)

2) It’s been done before, and to death.

So I shall spare everyone the tedium with a quick summary. Sydney airport is really confusing, just like a cute platformer suffering from really, really poor level design. Now that I have that out the way I can present - MORAL QUANDRY OF THE WEEK.

MORAL QUANDRY OF THE WEEK

The characters in my comic are, as I have mentioned previously, based on real life people. As you may have noticed, the portrayal of Mikey has been… less than kind. The real life Mikey is starting to express concerns that I am starting to damage his reputation, both with the industry and possibly his mother.

I have an idea for next week’s strip that, while extremely humourous, again presents Mikey as a less than stellar guy. He has asked me not to do it out of consideration for his basic right to at least some dignity. The question I put to my readers is this - should I go ahead with the strip or should I be nice and come up with something else? What’s more important - human dignity or at least two minutes of some pretty fine entertainment?

I leave it to you.

Hey dude It was ARTISTIC REFERENCE ok????!!!!

You know I had a job once when I did actually get paid to surf porn. So I didn’t find this one funny. I actually had a fit from all the post traumatic stress from that job resurfacing. Thanks for the memories dude. When will you put your styus down and concider the negative impact you’re comics are having on peoples lives!!!!

I sincerely apolagise to everyone out there who may have, in the past, had jobs animating comedy pornography in FLASH who may have been disturbed by this comic.

I think you should definitely do another Mikey strip, however if he is worried about you making him look like he’s a bad sort, just give him a goatee and pass him off as his own evil twin brother.

oh…hang on a sec ;)

Go for it. I do all the work and he never asks me what I think. I actually manage to produce the work and what thanks do I get - NONE. But I keep working and he dosen’t care about my feelings. He ever treats me the way he does his stylus, so go ahead and do it - PLEASE .

Do the comic but substute mikeys character for something like poochie from the simpsons. Make it an animal like a dog with mikeys features. That way human dignity is preserved. However you do run the risk of your strip slowly becoming Dilbert. Otherwize just make his character a white guy then you have deniability and thanks to michel jackson a black man suddenly turning white is perfectly acceptable these days.

Your head looks big in the firs frame.

hmmmmmm.

This is flagrant, abusive and a rather demonstrative demonstration, of how artistic mis- representation can really effect a personality. I propose in the name of research that you continue to besmerch young pornmeister micheal.

Maybe you could vilify him in new and more demeaning ways. I say wouldnt it be funny if you did a strip about how micheal tried to do a strip about you. but people thought it was cruel how young micheal portrayed you and was scolded for it. therefore bringing his status down even further!. and when no one was around… you could jab him with a fork!!! hehehe.

I should shut up now.

Well, I sit just across from Mikey, and I think he underestimates the potential of what being iconofied online could do for his love life. He’s a modern working class hero! Plus it’s all true. Rock on, I say.

Use your Illusion, Monty! Use it twice!
