Friday Night Death Cat Blogging: Funky Winkerbean Edition

by DeanBooth 26. June 2009 05:36

As reader Emily pointed out, this Funky must have been written with Death Cat blogging in mind.

This Week's Recommended Site: Better Zits

This Week's Thanks: Three casserole dishes of delicious thanks goes to the very generous reader who donated a year's subscription of movie making so that This Week in Mary Worth can continue. Horray! Now I can experiment with even more kinds of random dancing, and the soon-to-be-released version may let me show Mary talking on the phone! Pool party!!

This Week's Promo: Thanks to those of you who visited my Project Wonderful advertisers and the Comic Booth's Amazon store! Please show them some love now.

This Week's Question: Reader Josh suggests that the original comic should be shown first, and then you can click to see my modified version. What do you think?

What's the fun in that? I kind of enjoy clicking between the two figuring out what you've changed. Sometimes - as in the case of the cock-slurping - it's obvious; sometimes - as in the case of the front porch handjob - it's less so. I say keep on with your current method.

I think the current format works just fine.

You can try the new way if you want. It might be funnier for some more.

Yay to the reader who is donating the movie making! I was stretching in front of the mirror today (fully clothed) and I reminded myself of Mary Worth's dance moves and thought how much I was going to miss those little movies.

Also, I like having the modified comic shown first so I can see if I remember what the original was. I just wish I could click on original from my Google Reader but maybe that doesn't give you credit in your advertising stats.

I normally read the site through its RSS feed with Google Reader. The problem with doing it that way is that when I click "View original/modified," nothing happens. I have to click through the site, and then click again to see the original. So I'd rather leave it the way it is.

I agree that it's more fun seeing the altered version first and trying to spot the differences.

Not only the cat, but the suspiciously convenient placement of whatsername's hand, and even the wording! I think Tom "Major Depressive Disorder" Batiuk must have been throwing a shout-out to you!

Why need to click at all? It would probably be easier to show them both at once. You kind of need to see the original most of the time to get the joke anyway.

You know, Les' facial expression in panel 3 makes more sense in Dean's version than the original: a smidgen of joy mixed with shock and confusion. Les, like all the other hapless residents of Funkyville, simply does not know how to handle pleasure. He's accustomed to a daily diet of fear, mortality, and loss.

And BTW, I'm in favor of keeping the current format.

Paranoid that I am, could you get in trouble for "publishing" an original strip, on the off-chance someone happens upon your site and thinks you're just using another artist's work for your nefarious gains (rather than clicking to see the modified form)?

Dang, that lady in the Evony ad! It's like June Morgan all over!

I've thought "shoulda shown the original first" about 50% of the time. And thought "Perfect!" 50% of the time.

Might as well leave it!
