Today’s haiku was inspired by an old joke I heard on some PBS show about the history of comedy.  It goes like this:

Two cannibals are eating a clown
One turns to the other and asks, “Does this taste funny to you?”

So short and simple, but it made me laugh and I thought it would be fun to do a haiku comic in a similar vein.  Besides dead clowns are less scary than live ones.  Sorta…

Tonight I learned a valuable lesson and since we are such great pals, I feel I must pass this tip on to you.  Should you find yourself entering a theater to witness a performance by a big band or similar band filled with elaborate horn sections, do not sit too close to the stage.  More specifically, do not position yourself directly in front of the trombone section.  There is a spit valve.  It gets emptied frequently.  Enough said.

Quick note on some slight changes to the site.  You may have noticed some affiliates added to the links page.  The links go to online stores that have things I found interesting or weird enough to include.  Should you be in the mood to shop online, give them a try.  It wasn’t my intention to get going with a ton of affiliate programs but I found myself joining one due to my new cohoots with the GoreyDetails.net folks and since I went through the trouble of filling out the paperwork, I figured I’d add a few more I deemed worthy.  More on the Gorey Details news next week…

Have you seen the previews for The Haunting in Conneticut yet?  It releases in theaters on March 27th.  I’m really hoping it’s going to be good.  I’ll watch all sorts of horror and thriller films, but honestly there aren’t that many that are any good.  Some are so bad, they are awesome, but most are just mediocre.  Not that I’m terribly disappointed.  I expect mediocre, but since supernatural thrillers are my favorite in the genre I tend to get my hopes pretty high.   With any luck this one will be decent.  Creepy.  I prefer creepy over gorey any day.  *crosses fingers*

Next week’s comic should look extra awesome.  I’ve been working on it for a couple days and it’s still not done.  All these darn tiny lines and dots and dashes.  Time consuming!  But, I really do like the result.  Hopefully, I don’t botch it!  See you then…
