I makes some comics for funness

Note: This is my first diary. Been a lurker for...well, since the beginning. But finally, I feel like I have something genuinely substantive and illuminating to say.

I don't really know why I made these. Call it a reaction to the candidate diaries. Or to this whole "election" we're treated to.

Mainly, though, it's this: I love this country, I love this process, and I love this community. But sometimes, they all go a little too far. Sometimes, you just gotta step back from your passion and get your giggle on.

UPDATE: Don't click on the link in the comments if the ones above get anywhere near offending you. Thanks! ;)

•  Flames?!

  It's all in good fun!

  •  No flames

    some groans, but not flames, and a rec for your sig.

    •  Groans work!

      Hey, it beats the groans I get every time I reload CNN.

      :)

•  tee hee hee pluribus unum

  these are extraordinarily strange. so, naturally, i'm delighted with them.

  i'm finding the fred thompson and bill richardson entries especially amusing.

  •  Thanks! Left out the strangest / least PC ones

    There's a few edgier ones that I figured might not fly.

    But I'm delighted you're delighted!

    •  do you have a personal blog or website?

      if you have a little corner of the internets whut you call your own, please share a link. i would love to see the stuff that your inner editor opted to keep out of the diary.

      •  Used to run a humor site

        But that was a few years ago, in college, when I had nothing to do. :)

        If people like these and wouldn't mind some that defenestrate the envelope, I might put 'em up.

        Though I'm an old timer 'round here, I don't know much about diary rules.

        Can I link to some that might cross the line? Or could that get me a bruise on my head from the ban stick?

        •  re:Can I link to some that might cross the line?

          i don't see why not! especially in your own diary.

          if you're concerned about the potential for offense that may be taken, offer fair warning (in fact, you already seem to be taking this approach), and people can take their own counsel whether or not to have a look.

          •  Good point will do as a separate diary

            Thanks for your interest! I'll throw up another bunch tomorrow or Monday.

            Couple are race and gender related, and given the tense environment the last couple weeks, figured I should be careful. :)

            by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:43:25 PM PDT

            •  your judgment and caution are helpful

              for sure, not everyone finds the same shit to be funny, and ESPECIALLY with matters of race and gender currently and understandably being quite charged and raw.

              keep at the photo comics, though, please! funny stuff.

          •  Line location test:

            Is this one over it?

            

            by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:52:12 PM PDT

            •  No - but you're damn close ; )

              Whatever, I like it!

              by Sanuk on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:54:09 PM PDT

              •  Uh oh...then the one below

                Has to be over it.

                gulp

                by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:55:36 PM PDT

            •  Er, where da 'peg at?

              Hm, screwed up that link.

              Trying again:

              Forget pie, I'm for cookies.

              by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:54:56 PM PDT

        •  These were fun - you can definitely link to ones

          you think are over the line for DKos, with a mild heads up for the gentle reader.

          by Wee Mama on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:41:42 PM PDT

          •  Okee dokee! Thanks!

            Personally, I think the edgier they are, the higher the probability that a giggle turns to a chortle or even, gasp a guffaw..!

            by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:45:47 PM PDT

            •  Kossites aren't shy, that I've noticed - if lots

              of folks like the linked ones and want them included in diaries, you'll hear!

              by Wee Mama on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:58:52 PM PDT

•  Thompson and the corn dogs....

  ...cracked me up.

  They go so perfectly together!

  Glad you decided to post - and WOW you are a long time lurker #28636!

  Glad to see you posting - we definitely need some humor here during primary season.

  by Sanuk on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:09:42 PM PDT

  •  Lurkin' since well before that even!

    I started coming here every day sometime late in 2002.

    But I waited quite a while to get an account, then a lot longer to start recommending things, then a year or two to start commenting. :)

    I don't know why Fred and corn dogs go together so well, but they sure seem to. Poor Fred. Corn dogs is all he's got left.

    by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:12:40 PM PDT

    •  giggle on, bro.

      it was the corn dogs that got me too. Can you cook stuff with a taser?

      •  Don't taze me, dog! n/t

        by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:21:13 PM PDT

•  Hey Kos Kewl Kidz, rank & file Kossacks!

  Show the diarist some love and rec' this up!

  by magnetics on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:15:53 PM PDT

  •  Can't make the rec list: it's not a hit piece :)

    Think that's this week's rule, anyway.

    Heck, showing Fred with a thought in his head might just get me banned.

    by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:19:57 PM PDT

•  I liked 'em

  Thanks!

  by Timbuk3 on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:17:36 PM PDT

  •  Thank you! Levity helps these days

    Even if it's only middling funny. ;)

    by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:29:24 PM PDT

•  I have a bunch more...worth putting up?

  Been churning them out in my post-work decompression time the last week or so.

  I have quite a few by now. Think it's worth throwing up another diary of 'em in the next few days...?

  by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:33:52 PM PDT

  •  Sure - one every few days would be fun

    by Wee Mama on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:42:48 PM PDT

    •  Ah-ha! That's a good way to do it

      I've been making them for my own enjoyment anyway.

      Well, that and for my politics-obsessed girlfriend. Who says couples don't communicate anymore? :)

      Thanks so much for the support!

      by OutOfManyOne on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 02:49:03 PM PDT

      •  I agree: "Syndicate" them

        Post a few a day, when you have time.

        I'll look for 'em.

        by Timbuk3 on Sat Jan 12, 2008 at 05:21:49 PM PDT

•  OK

  Thanks and keep 'em coming!
