It would be better if it were written in English.

Agreed. But I have to admit that this comic actually does amuse me for some reason. If some work were put into it, it might actually be pretty good.

To start with, I'd lose the trash can guy's thought bubble in the first panel. You don't have to fill up every available space with text. The old lady's question is a fine place to begin. And why is she an old lady, anyway? Seems like the little girl from the Three Reasons category is a perfect choice for that role; she's part of Sesame Street's target audience. As for the trash can guy, there's no need to squander our audience's short attention span by making him Oscar's brother. Just make him Oscar. Sure, he's not green and furry, but you can't get too hung up on appearances around here. Trash cans and old ladies don't float in the air next to skyscrapers either, but that doesn't stop anyone. Plus you can save about panel's worth of set-up. Finally, even though Oscar yelling "BITCH I LIVE IN A FUCKING TRASH CAN!!!" is a funny thought, I think we can fit a little more into the punchline. Sure, we know it can't be good to live in a trash can, but give us some examples of why.

Oscar, why are you so grouchy? Big Bird's stopped throwing out his back issues of Hustler.

Oscar 2 by evil_d 3-21-05

Oscar, why are you so grouchy? Some jackass threw out a tank full of live scorpions. Why would they do that? Get a doctor, damn it, I'm in some serious pain here.

Oscar 3 by evil_d 3-21-05

Oscar, why are you so grouchy? Mr. Hooper's back on the wagon. He dumped about six hundred dollars worth of hard liquor on my head last night. I would think you could do with a little something to steady your nerves. I'm an angry drunk.

Swearing, sex, booze... I think that should cover it. Pardon me while I ruin everyone's childhood memories here.

The trash can guy is one of my favorite characters, but it's hard to think of how to use him. I can't believe I made the Endgame connection immediately, but never thought of Sesame Street.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Yeah, and the comic would have been even funnier if it weren't ripped off from a Dave Chappelle act.

whoops i guess i missed that episode. Sorry Dave.

it was his standup act.

Doesn't that comic bear a striking resemblance to this one?

Heya trashcan Jim, how's it going? Shut the fuck up, how's about that? Why are you always so mean? Bitch I live in a FUCKING TRASHCAN!

Or maybe it's a coincidence. The punchlines ARE pretty funny.
