THE GREAT WORD ADVENTURE BEGINS!!
This year patrons weren’t limited to just nouns. They chose words of all types, and I assembled them into ‘mad libs’ type sentences to provide demented inspiration for ridiculous pics. So…
VOTE FOR WORDS, WORDS, WORDS!!!
As for this comic…
Yes, Miranda is getting a little big for the ole change table poopy diaper deal. But most parents find themselves at this point. Potty training works when it works.
part of me thinks Panel 1 should’ve been filed under the “Mature” tagline, but something tells me you’ve been through this before, right?
Hey man, just like Forest Gimp told that bumper sticker guy, “It happens.”
Hey man. Diapers is a fact of life.
I’m not sure about the mature tagline, but panel one certainly deserves the manure tagline.
its a crappy joke. one could say it should be in the toilet, but it isnt.
Is it me, or does Colin need to take another step closer to the comb? What, is school out for him?
He needs no comb. Wants no comb. Even when on the job.
Combs are the increadibly old teaeth of the man.
I have to say you cannot have a girl waiting on a date forevermore.
Quoth the raven.
Caught with somebody’s pants down, anyway.
Heh.
That’s an unusually antagonistic Colin. Oddly, his open mouth makes him look younger.
yeah, he usually doesn´t show that much backbone – i half expected him to *use* the stinky grenade in his hand!
It’s the facial fair thing. I don’t know what his students are going to think.
She just went to 11 didn’t she?
Well, I think this is a seven for her.
Eeep!
Hasn’t Miranda been toilet-trained yet?
I’m sure they’ve tried. But success eludes them.
That’s an awesome power Miranda wields over them.
Indeed. Children. They have terrible power.
mine waited until the kids on the bus figured out he was wearing diapers (small adult sized…). then it was 2 weeks start to finish.
sadly he has not brought an SO home. revenge is best served over a tasty meal so they can’t escape.
Your chance may come. Be patient.
Gecko, the next time my wife offers me a mango smoothy, my involuntary smile may get me into serious, serious trouble.
You deserve it.
Is Miranda Anishinaabe?
I thought someone would catch that.
Nanbozho, Ojibwe trickster god . . . this does explain how Colin thrives within his environment . . . also, Miranda, future Empress of Earth, it’s a wise child that knows her parents, and for a toddler, she’s quite perceptive!
We trade in trickster figures here. Puck. Nanabush.
I was sure that Nanabush was a reference but I thought…really would he be that obvious? And as for tricksters all you need now are a coyote and a raven.
This makes sense. Puck was, at one point, a trickster in service to a greater pixie (Oberon). So now Puck is servant to an arguably greater trickster, her daughter.
Well, this is certainly a sh!+ show.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
Glad you didn’t.
yield to temptation. it has the right of way card.
Shove it in her face, Colin!
Let’s not. But let’s play it out in our minds.
Colin lost his moment to shove it in her face the nanosecond he brought it to Tracee’s attention. The likelihood is there’s a missing panel 5 with Tracee, stern with arms akimbo, glaring at Colin with, ahem, *mud* dripping from his face, his cartoon eyes wide with surprise, and Miranda pointing and laughing at funny daddy.
He would not use it. Just note its existence.
How about just hold it towards her with a “Hold on to this for a moment for me please” fast and low.
I mean . . . he’s not wrong . . . in life as in comedy, timing is everything.
Poor timing, especially.
Also, the voting incentive . . NOOOOOOOO! Not . . . parsing a sentence! Fourth grade English class, St. John’s Ravenscourt, ‘this is a verb but because this past participle is modified by this pronoun disguised as an adverb, this verb is a boojum snarkle womprat that is also a pending future reticulate and you haven’t shown that in your sentence diagram . . .’ I hope that teacher’s death was slow, painful, with him conscious allll the way!
Parsing sentences is fun. Fun for all.
And he should be shoving that diaper right into her face. She ain’t in any place to be telling someone else how to run their lives or what to do in their relationships.
Sticking a finger in my face like that is a good way to get a broken finger.
Charlie bit my finger.
Charlie has been electrocuted I hope.
You monster.
Colin has handed out enough crap that handling a little is simple karma.
True enough.
“Ambush diaper proposal” may be the finest set of tags ever placed on a comic.
I try for perfection.
Odo: “You’d shoot a man in the back?”
Garak: “Well, it’s the safest way, isn’t it?”
—
Tracee’s handled a load of crap in her day, that was established when she first babysat Miranda. Colin really needs to up his situational awareness….but it’ll never happen.
Colin is not good at anything. This has been established.
Also…why does it take me a week to notice these things?…”Greed(o) is Good.” Double reference?
I was wondering why it took a week for anyone to notice. Good eye, friend. Good eye.
Keep pushing buttons, and you will eventually cross a line where Colin’s hands full of crap become your face full of crap.
Puck: “…Except this is COLIN.”
Colin: “For real, dude! How thin do you think my skin can possibly be to verbal abuse and bullying females after all this time? I can swallow THIS kind of bull@#$& all day, every day!”
…Well you have me there.
You are the Colin whisperer.
