Zombie head on a stick, or ZHOS, is a character in the Sluggy Freelance web comic by Pete Abrams. This is something entirely different. The stick horse is a staple of mainstream American toy culture from years gone by, usually accompanied by western hats and toy pistols. The stick pig seems to exist only as a foil for the stick horse. Maybe more creative drawing should be accompanied by something better than stick figure characterization, if the culture would accept it.is Teresa back yet?
Comedy in general is in a rut. I read somewhere that “the Big Bang Theory” was a very successful sit-com, so I viewed a few episodes. It was just another re-hash of the ill-mannered child, anthropomorphic animal or alien characters that behave badly and it’s supposed to be funny because they aren’t expected to live by the rules of society. Over the years not much has changed, the settings are much the same. About the only difference between TBBT and Alf is that there’s more sex, and other bodily functions that were considered in poor taste to joke about are now normal fare.
BTW – I was once a 3 hour tour, but then I lost my hair and thus all the bald customers … but then … how many times can one take the same 3 hour tour???

No point in rehashing a dead horse.

Frog Applause successfully challenged the dominant comic culture. Of course, FA lives only in zombie-form, so I guess this advice was true….

Clearly the stated “rule” are quite enforced, or we wouldn’t be reading Frog Applause. . . . .
