nockFORCE by nockFORCE

Both Sean and I frequent a website called SomethingAwful, and one of our fellow members is a guy who does a flash cartoon. Now, there are thousands of people who post on this site, and I went into these cartoons with a healthy does of skepticism. But I found them pretty much hilarious.

If you like the criminally underrated cartoon Home Movies, you'll like these. If you don't like Home Movies...well, they're only a minute each, so it's worth a look anyway.

I present to you, some choice selections from nockFORCE:

Episode 9: The Bay Bridge


Episode 7: Marriage Magazine


Episode 11: Rappin' Rollercoaster


There are 24 nockFORCE qucikies up on their youtube page...which is here: http://youtube.com/user/nockFORCE I'm sure I'll link a few more at some point in the near future. If you did enjoy, though, I encourage you to go check it out.

Daily Campus Comics - October/November

Wow. I'm an asshole. I said in my last update that I'd start making my little survey of UConn's comics page a weekly thing. That was over a month ago - an even longer gap than last time! YIKES.

Well we might as well get the ball rolling again. Things have been going really well.

Musings is finally cutting the bullshit and asking the big questions. And it's not just limited to the random, invisible strangers this particular comic is targeted at. She's not stopping there.

Nope. She's going after her own friends. Who she sees every day. She's putting her own social life at risk, for the sake of art.

If anyone's wondering, this is what "cutting edge" is.

Yeah man, Hot Topic is so not cool anymore. Once it got all emo and goth and shit it just got lame. What a shame. I, for one, remember when kindly old Mr. Baker started what was known as "Ye Olde Hot-Topick Toffee Shoppe," where the children would laugh and play and were given free toffees because Mr. Baker was so old and kindly. Man, how times have changed.

Maybe you're all too young to remember this. But I'm glad someone else does. Hot Topic sure has changed.

Finally, a pot joke in the Daily Campus Comics Page! At long last!! We haven't had any good pot jokes since the heyday of Matt and Greg, a comic about two cool stoner dudes who smoked weed, hung out with pop culture icons like Oscar the Grouch and Link while smoking weed, and then smoked weed. Then they smoked weed. Those were the days.

Also I think the other kite should be saying, "I'm also as high as you, because I'm also a kite. We're both kites. I find nothing unusual about this situation."

Effed Up is finally taking a stand against a common enemy on UConn's campus: the infirmary. Fuck the infirmary, man! If you've got an injury just take care of that shit yourself. Like Christian Scientists.

"Ice it and keep off of it. How do you keep off of 'IT'?" Now there's some observational comedy worthy of Jerry Seinfeld. Really, what's the deal with "ice it and keep off of it"? What does that MEAN? I mean, there's no way that it could mean "put it on an ice pack and lay down for a while" or anything, right? I'm just totally clueless here. Doctors are so confusing!!

Also that doctor is lookin' snappy. Maybe they shouldn't trust him. Maybe he isn't a doctor. Maybe that's the joke.



Bill Watterson's back, ladies and gentlemen. Or he's been reincarnated in one William Wilson. I mean, let's be honest here... "William Wilson" just SCREAMS "fake name."

Welcome back to the fold, Mr. Watterson. How'd that whole "painting 100 works of art and burning them" thing work out?

So apparently being "original" means "wearing a scarf, communicating with exaggerated arm gestures, and being brunette."

Being original is also being cute, apparently.

Oh man, that is horrible. And he's holding the kid. Oh jeez.

I love this comic.

Hey this is kinda nice too. This is very nice.

I'm in a good mood.

Guess it's time for...

COMIC OF THE MONTH!!

This month: Freshmen 15







So the characters in Freshmen 15 are gettin' laid, drunk dialin', hookin' up with hot dudes and lots of other super-slutty stuff that cool girls do at UConn. It's really cool and shit. Because it's what cool college kids do.

I just hope this new wave of trendiness doesn't spread to more cerebral, respected comics.

NO NO GOD NO

Promise I'll do this sooner next time. Have a good'un.

Ivan and Mr. Hoppy by Monkey Dust

Monkey Dust is a very dark British sketch comedy show, which ran from 2003 to 2005. It's animated, which is strange, as I've never seen an animated sketch program before.

Anyway, here is a montage of one of their reoccuring characters, Ivan Dobsky. These clips are a bit long (9 minutes each), but totally worth it. About time we put some British sensibility into this mundane American humor blog.
