There is some fudged perspective drawing in the second panel, since I was going for a certain high angle of the table while also showing the diner. Most of you wont care, but I know a few comic artists who are going to give me hell for this.
Nah. Tell ’em to go to hell and that they are assuming the diner’s interior is the typical square-form layout, this place is different and more angular … explains the perspective shift and lets you off the hook, plus makes you “innovative” to boot! 😀
(it’s all about the spin …)
“Innovative”…that’s what all crappy young artists call themselves! I think you’re on to something.
I vote for just telling them that each second they talk trash about your work is second they are not spending around girlfriends/boyfriends/whatever those freaks are attracted to.
Nicely put!
Greasy Butt’a Diner… Sounds like a great place… for trouble! Marge there better not slip on any… I assume it’s grease there on the floor. Can you say lawsuit?
No matter how serious of a story I’m trying to convey, there’s always room for a stupid potty joke in the background.
“Greasy butt’s Dinner?” Sounds like a place I’d eat at.
They specialize in rump roast and pork butt!
Jerry Seinfeld could never be with Sam. She has man-hands.
I think George would want to hook up with her (he’d deliberately leave a fur hat at Sam’s apartment…).
Ah, the wonderful diet of greasy spoon fare and bad diner dinners! That kind of grub is what first got me hooked on exercising like my life depended on it.
At least you lived to vow to exercise! I’m really surprised more people don’t keel over dead right after eating at some of those places (but at least it’s a delicious death).
I’m with you on that one. I see some of the food come out of these places and I wonder how my heart didn’t just hang up an ‘I Quit’ sign by the time I was seventeen!
Stink-Bomb letter!!! Watch out!!!
Whenever I’m at a greasy spoon, I like to look around and imagine what the back stories are for the other patrons. I fantasize that they’re all crazy meth-heads or hookers or hitmen, or maybe just really hungry folks with a limited budget. 😀
Hoo boy, the kind of folks you usually see inhabiting those establishments all look like they have devious histories. It’s best not to get involved, lest they interfere with your OWN devious lifestyle!
Considering I used to hang around at a lot of crummy dives, the idea is entirely sound.
