Hahaha…
did someone say… BEANS!
I eat them right out of the can (which horrifies Annabelle). Not sure why, though (saves on dishes, and I always thought it seemed like a classy move in general).
Love the train stuff, A.C. – there’s just something about trains…
🙂
First of all, I should have said “I’ve been uploading a ton of artwork”, not “I’ve uploading a ton of artwork”…I keep the mistake up to remind you all that I am only human and capable of making mistakes. SO DON’T BOTHER POINTING IT OUT.
@Bearman Hey, my family was more that happy to provide the sounds. All you need to do is find the right onomatopoeia for a toot.
@SpilledInky Beans and/or chili out of the can is pretty normal, since they actually taste fine without being cooked. Maybe it’s not eating beans that has her so horrified as the prospect of stinking up the bathroom later!
Never, NEVER follow someone in the bathroom after they’ve eaten chili. You will be sorry.
I have done this. Not to escape anything….. but because it’s the only way to get from where my hillbilly Pa lives back to civilization, and vice versa. And let me tell you it’s hard as heck to get onto a boxcar unless you know the tricks, painful to screw it up unless you know the tricks, stings like the devil to get OFF one in the middle of nowhere unless you know the tricks, and nobody teaches you the tricks until you’ve dinged yourself up a lot.
On the upside, this is actually about how friendly I’ve seen most ‘train people’ be. I’ve never once felt in any danger from these people….. not the regulars anyways. Had a few bucks picked from my pocket from time to time, but that’s to be expected. It helps if you can bring some canned goods of your own to share, that gets you off on a good foot!
@Lady Jenn Now here’s a person who’s truly lived an adventure. I’m afraid I’ve been too pampered by society to ever do something like this (I will literally freak out if I don’t get a daily shower), but damned if that doesn’t sound like a tale you’ll remember down the line (no pun intended…wait, was that even a pun? Oh forget it). Give yourself credit, that sounds pretty awesome.
I jumped off of a cablecar once…didn’t get hurt, but that’s the closest “death-defying” adventure I can tell you about trolleys.
@George Hey, at least they cracked a window, so to speak.
I wasn’t sure if “hella” is a term used in all of California or just up north, but it sounds like folks use it in a lot of different parts. That’s hella interesting.
Mr. Dada… your “Bean” guy is so wonderful! I love his expression and yellowed teeth! (what teeth he has left) & I agree with Bearman- nicely done on the fart noises! Hee hee. Bring on the juvenile humor and poop jokes! (your comic is my guilty pleasure)… oh, and the graffiti on the sign… nice touch!
@JerryBenedict The great thing about Tom Waits is that his music ranges for any mood; if you’re feeling classy there’s “Nighthawks…”, if you’re romantic there’s “Closing Time”, if you’re spacey there’s “Alice”, if you’re drunk, nostalgic, or heartbroken there’s…a whole lot of other albums to choose from (or find it all in “Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards”).
@SquidRowMommy Every time I tell myself I will never stoop to scatological humor again I go and do something like this. Well, this time I mean it: NO MORE POOPOO HUMOR EVER AGAIN!
…at least not this week.
@InvaderZimFan I’ve never been a fan of constantly building up to the ‘Almighty Punchline’ (which is probably why I do a serial), so no big whoop.
Scap has actually uttered “cheeses” before. See if you can find it!
Great situation and humor. The dialogue is really good (especially Scapula’s thoughts). You make me want to write a strip comic because you make it look so easy. Awesome.
The magical fruit is an endless supplier of gag material. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen so many fart sound effects in one panel in my entire comic-reading life. The lead hobo reminds me of this old Cuban man I knew who used to open bottles of beer with his one good tooth, lol. Great strip, great color.
@mehdi “Prouuut”? Hmmm….”prouuut”…”prouuut”…I kinda’ like that. I’m putting it on a license plate.
@Frank Dude, go for it! Stories are so much fun to tell, and once you’ve hit a groove with your characters they really do start to write themselves (except for when you hit a creative bump and end up doing a strip that ends with a lot of farting…moving right along).
@MarkStokes Nice to meet you, good sir, and you are indeed correct. There were few things in the playground funnier than fart jokes, except for sex jokes and seeing wimpy kids get beaten up (go read the last storyline for a better example).
Man, that old Cuban dude needs his own on-line series!
@TonyMcGurk Have you ever seen the ‘censored version’ they show on TV? They mute out all the sounds! It’s just a bunch of cowboys sitting silently and standing up for no reason at all!
Well, maybe they’re ‘silent but deadlies’, but it’s still dumb!
@Pam You know, when I was a kid I actually gave my younger brother Beano as a Christmas gift. I don’t think he thought it was funny (then again, I’m not entirely sure it was meant as a joke…).
YOu are very artistic with your fart sounds. Very poetic almost.
Hahaha…

Man, I can just smell the foulness of that railroad car.
Love the CA farewell sign. 🙂 And I’m ver glad to see Scap back in uniform.

He’s riding the rails with Tom Waits? That should be entertaining! I’m probably more of a “Nighthawks at the Diner” guy then a “Raindog” guy, though.
Mr. Dada… your “Bean” guy is so wonderful! I love his expression and yellowed teeth! (what teeth he has left) & I agree with Bearman- nicely done on the fart noises! Hee hee.

When Scapula used “cheeses”, it made me laugh more than the actual punchline.

Meh, the sound to describe a fart in french is prouuut. Took me a while to understand what frrrt means. Any fart translator ?

Man, that old Cuban dude needs his own on-line series!
Damn Train hobos and their beans.
@Howie Tell me about it! The future of trains is in solar and electric power…and these guys are still giving it GAS!
…hello? Is this thing on?….hello?…..aw, the hell with it.
“Beans, beans are good for your heart;
the more ya eat ’em, the more ya
.
.
.
like ’em!
Can’o’beans-on-a-stick. Yummm.
@Jande Can’t argue with that logic!
What I can’t believe is not a single person has noticed they’re cooking with a George Forman grill. Weird.
I think you should have ole Scap break out into a vaudeville rendition of “Hey babe, its the Chattanooga choo-choo…” *grin*
@jynksie I’m sure Bearman would suggest ‘Chattanooga Poo-Poo”…because he’s got a dirty mind, like every other cartoonist on-line!
Hee hee hee….poopoo.
Ha Ha Great strip. I loved the Blazing Saddles baked beans scene too.
@TonyMcGurk Have you ever seen the ‘censored version’ they show on TV? They mute out all the sounds! It’s just a bunch of cowboys sitting silently and standing up for no reason at all!

No amount of Beano would help that orchestra. :/
