I was originally thinking of making the title “A-salt and Buttery,” but that would’ve given away the punchline.
If I was building this in Flash, though, I would have added a foghorn sound when you moused over the last panel.
For my younger readers, this comic is kind of a spoof on Alfred Hitchcock’s creepy film, The Birds. Don’t worry, you can just wait for the remake that’s planned for 2013.
I originally used this gag in my first try at Jim Corn and finally I’m able to use it, though with some variation. You can see the original test strip on the Prankster Comics site.
See you next week for some serious happenings with these corn-lovin’ crows!
Thanks for your patience this week! Between projects and the first week of school Jim ran a bit behind.
On a side note, now that Jim is finally finished for this week, I’m really looking forward to seeing the new movie “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.” The director, Guillermo del Toro, is enough to draw people to this film, but for me, I also discovered that it is a remake of a 1973 movie that really creeped me out when I first saw it on tv as a kid. Hope I’ll be able to sleep at night after seeing it and suddenly I’m glad this house doesn’t have a basement!
So, how do you like Jim’s “epic” new corn afro? (Cornfro?)
Speaking of popcorn, did any of you remember when Orville Redenbacher died and they brought him back as a CG character? I want you all to know that if anything ever happens to me, you have my permission to bring me back as a cartoon. Preferably in a Tex Avery style.
My wife and I have watched a lot of “What Not To Wear” and she always thought it would be fun to get the makeover and the $5,000 shopping spree in New York City. I offered to help once. As we sat on the couch watching, I wiggled my fingers, pretending to type a letter, and said “Dear Clinton and Stacy, My wife looks like crap.” We both laughed, but somehow I still got smacked. I wonder if that letter would have worked?
