It looks like something bad happen to his shirt.

on the other hand, there is no laugh track to mock you when you fail either buddy!

Good point.

wouldn’t that put you on guard the whole time even if something doesn’t happen. that would turn anyone into a nervous wreck after awhile.

Nowadays it seems that sort of music would be everywhere.

I agree. Villains ought to be required to hum ominous music. Make it a law, like the one saying we can’t wear white this month. …you know, cause it’s after September?

Amen brother! I think we need what we called “sneak” music, too. As a kid, almost all cartoons had “sneak” music whenever some one was skulking around!

(GREEN PLAID ALERT! Everybody do a shot!)

Unfortunately, in real life, there are no drum rolls and cymbals to warn us of incoming disasters and mishaps!

What are you talking about? I hear ominous music all the time!

Like the thumping beat from Jaws.

I went to my paranoia clinic for the first time. The receptionist gave me paperwork to fill in, so when I handed it back to her she said “have a seat in the waiting room and everyone will be out to get me”

I disagree. I see people everywhere with ear pods in their ears.

That’s exactly why you’re lying on that couch, buddy.

Some comedian, Seinfeld maybe, once did a monalouge about how great it would be if we could have background music in our lives like in the moves?

Well there’s the tingling in the back of your neck….

Just as long as the background music isn’t the closing credits…

He could hire a band to follow him around and if they see danger they could strike up that tune. Or if he gets in a fight they could play the Star Trek TOS fight music.

cue the ominous music

Great coloring. I almost didn’t see Bleeb there on the bottom shelf. :)

Amen, brother.

Bad colorist. No cookie.

Poor guy, suffering from warning music deafness like that. What? Why are you all looking at me like that?

There isn’t? So you mean this is just an earworm?!?

Haha, I love this!
