| | trevoramueller | I hope everyone had a great holiday. I have a few commenting on the above page (which hopefully didn't insult anyone who enjoys rap music).
This was one of the first pages that I originally wrote when I first started this comic series, and I needed something for Trevor to "give the bird" about. The topic included sports, movies, and dance clubs.
Being in a car was a given, but I needed something that was obscure and silly. Flipping the bird during a movie doesn't make sense, since the lights are dim. I don't really watch any sports, so that doesn't make a lot of sense. Then I went to my club on Mondays (which plays synth-pop and goth industrial music) and I saw a bunch of guys requesting rap music. I mean, it's a goth-industrial club and you're requesting music that doesn't mesh with the theme of the club?!?
The choice was obvious to me in my mind at that time. While I'm not a fan of rap music personally, I don't really have anything against it. I'm also not a big fan of country music. I'm sure a lot of people don't care for the music that I like myself. That's what makes each of us interesting and unique. So please don't take this as an insult if I poke fun at something that you like. Chances are it was inspired by a specific situation - like the above - and I don't mind explaining the origin of the "joke."
Also, I hope you all see the poster in the background promoting my other comic: The Temple of a Thousand Tears: Hikari
I'm off to prep for my annual New Years party, which draws in an international crowd and is always a good (and hilarious) time. Last year I crammed 37 people into my apartment for a Hawaii-themed party that was full of drinking, Guitar Hero, and tons of silly card games. This year's theme is "Slumber Party," so it'll be interesting to see what people do with that.
I'll give you guys a full run-down of how the night unfolds. Until then, be safe, enjoy yourself, and I'll see you all again in 2009! -Posted on Dec 26, 2008 |
| User: trevoramueller | | | | ttyler: Thanks dude, glad you dig it. -Posted on Jan 01, 2009 | | User: ttyler | | 5 | | Heh Heh.......Nice. -Posted on Dec 31, 2008 | | User: trevoramueller | | | | antcomics: It has a very different (symbolic) meaning now that real-life Laura and I are no longer dating. However, I just thought that it was a cute vanity joke. -Posted on Dec 30, 2008 | | User: antcomics | | 5 | Oh man. Nice 'twist' ending there! Hehee!
Happy new year Trev. :) -Posted on Dec 30, 2008 | | User: trevoramueller | | | Walrus: Thanks, glad you dig it.
spiritmonkey: Thanks for reading! -Posted on Dec 29, 2008 | | User: Walrus | | 5 | | Ha ha! :D -Posted on Dec 26, 2008 | | User: trevoramueller | | | Warpedwenger: Alright, well...I wasn't going to say anything so blunt, but now that it's out there.... :P
seventy2: I'm not a fan of a few music genres, and rap just happened to be at the top of my mind when I wrote this page. I could easily have switched it out for country music as well.
I think the reason you weren't invited to my New Years party is because you don't live anywhere near me. However, that's no excuse for not inviting me to your birthday party. This is my jealous face. ;)
Steely Gaze: I'm not a big "giver of the finger," but I thought it would be funny to talk about how you don't want to give anyone the finger with a band aid on because it kind of diminishes the message. People will focus on the band aid more so than the fact that they've done something wrong to warrant getting the finger.
amanda: The intention was that I cut my finger on the cardboard box, which is an even worse cut to receive than from a box cutter. They suck, and they don't heal quickly. -Posted on Dec 26, 2008 | | User: amanda | | 5 | | I'm a menace with a box cutter - I feel your pain. -Posted on Dec 26, 2008 | | User: Steely Gaze | | 5 | I couldn't help but laugh at Trevor in the last panel. He just looks so forlorn. :D
Oddly enough, I've never given anyone the finger in anger. I'm just too polite for that I guess. :P -Posted on Dec 26, 2008 | | User: seventy2 | | 5 | i dont like rap either. and i agree with warped....also i must say:
WTF? why wasnt i invited?
that's it you're not invited to my birthday party. -Posted on Dec 26, 2008 | | User: Warpedwenger | | 5 | | Naw I don't think people who like rap music can read. -Posted on Dec 26, 2008 | Only registered members may vote. Sign up here! | |
