Transcript:
Andre: Mr. Other Spinnerack? Does our daily comic about our daily life have to be real? Can we make stuff up? Teacher: It has to be real! No matter how tedious, dull or uneventful your day was, find something in it to draw! Andre: Can we add explosions? Small ones? Ba-boom? Petey: Tedious? Dull? Uneventful? Oh, boy! Astrid: "... Uneventful? Oh, boy!" There, I drew all that. Except I'm having trouble getting Pete's head right.

Pete’s in heaven right now…

Right in Petey’s wheelhouse! But I feel for poor Andre — he’ll have to go blow things up just so he has material …

That’s all right Loris, so is Petey.

I hope Mr. Other Spinnrack is not becoming a cartoon-dictator, “my way or the highway”! Loris, on the other hand, should be ready to have a Big Golden Collection of Loris-toons printed and published by Andrews McMeel tomorrow!

Petey’s version of uneventful will be dull, no doubt, but Loris’? Andre’s woll be full of explosions that didn’t happen.

Tedious, dull, uneventful? My life would make a good cartoon strip.

While Andre and Petey are still thinking, Loris will have 3 degrees and be published in 5 languages. She’ll be writing best sellers about Petey and Andre.

In my humble opinion, Richard Thompson is a genius … he is the best new strip artist I’ve seen … along side Wiley Miller he towers over the rest..

I see Mr. Other Spinnerack must be a fan of Harvey Pekar.

As the young artists dream uneventful dreams; the glorious tedium and brilliant dullness of the new day wash over them. They take pen to paper and….oh bother.

You want real life? Go stand on a street corner.

That is the smallest explosion I have ever seen Andre sound out.

Go home and watch Mythbusters, Andre. Draw a cartoon of you watching the explosions on the show.
billdi Premium Member over 13 years ago
loris is operating in real time for sure
zsteelie Premium Member over 13 years ago
LMAO@ Loris calling him “Pete” … anyone else would have kicked her in the shin by now!
Destiny23 over 13 years ago
Loris would make a good real-time animator — she could draw 24 frames per second, with time to spare!

Apart from REEEEALLY stretching, Up the Hole, your comment is incomprehensible. Go back down your rabbit hole to your Mad Tea Party.

Andre, if explosions are expelled, try LOUD SOUND EFFECTS! Like a butterfly’s wing-beats amplified a squidzillion-bazillon times. SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-— Oh crud. I don’t know how to manipulate the fonts in this comment block.

So somehow this cartoon inspired you to take a dig at Obama because he’s friends with Tom Hanks? Or are you taking a dig at Tom Hanks because he’s friends with Obama?
Have you and Alice been sampling questionable mushrooms?
