I recently posted a 10 strip joke that begins with this one:

The Pink ping-pong ball pt 1. by Tarantula_boy 2-25-03

When a kid was old enough to learn how to talk, his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday. His reply was "a pink ping-pong ball, please". His birthday arrives and the boy is disappointed to find there was no pink ping-pong ball amongst the presents. The next year comes around and his request is the same. "Can I have a pink ping-pong ball for my birthday please?".

Read the whole series and then you will alll see!!!

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

My nuts look disturbingly like cooking apples. Should I see a doctor about it?

Yeah... 'cause I haven't heard that joke 400 million times. Why do people bother turning spoken jokes into comic strips? Everyone already knows them...

You'd be surprised at the rapid increase of a population who HASN'T heard them.

I don't get it. So why did he want a pink ping pong ball?

Yeah, I think you missed out a strip.

Dad was flammable

You're wrong too...the most annoying joke ever is Devin's face.

Welcome to Bohemia. Population: a lot Cash flow: a little

Er, is the joke that he dies before explaining it?

The answer is yes.

I have two questions though.

Why is not_Scyess always the first one to jump up and say other peoples comics are shit?

How many of you who've read my strips actually like them?

I so far know of about two people who have found them amusing and I've even made one person's favourites list.

I know not everyone who reads them thinks they're great and I pretty much know they're not but some honest opinion would be much appreciated.

Some may call it "saying other peoples' comics are shit." I call it "constructive criticism." (Even in those cases I say nothing more than "your comics are shit," if that person gets frustrated and leaves, at least he won't make any more shitty comics! Now that's what I call constructive!)

I just read them. Ping-pong atrocity aside, your comics are an excellent example of someone who started out very shakey and improved his comic style quite a bit. Your later ones are generally pretty good. My top five favorites are:

The miracle of the internet. by Tarantula_boy 2-12-03

Surfing time. Porn. porn and more porn. Gay porn, kiddie porn, Ooooh. A xylophone that says you are a c***, tunefully.

Some things never change. by Tarantula_boy 2-25-03

A chance meeting in the street. Hey TB. Where you goin'? I'm on my way to the gym. Doesn't that violate the sacred tome that you live your life by? Huh? What tome? I don't even own a bible of any description. The Pizza Hut home delivery menu. Ahh.

Even my best friend hates my guts. by Tarantula_boy 2-25-03

A typical greeting between friends. Alright, twat-face. Nice to see you too, fucknuts. Another occasion. Hey, you festering boil on the clitoris of humanity. I love it when you talk dirty. And on very special occasions. Just the scabby pair of cunt-lips I was looking for. Do you ever have anything nice to say to me?

So there's my honest opinion. If you haven't donated, you should, just to delete that inane ping-pong ball series. Really, it's awful. But the rest of your stuff is pretty good and the trend is towards getting better.

(PS -- "Even my best friend hates my guts." is interesting since every insult coming out of their mouths relate to female genetalia. Freudian? I think yea!)
