Comics in my Pants

posted by jack at 04:55 CET in / compute / blogging

Some time ago, perhaps inspired by the daily comics-watching antics of The Comics Curmudgeon and Garfield Minus Garfield, I started a new comics-oriented blog. The premise of this blog is simple: Most of these so-called "comics" or "funnies" are anything but funny; Many of them can be enhanced (I'll stop short of saying "improved" or "made funnier") by replacing the last text bubble with a single stupid punchline. The results can be humorous, absurd, ribald, or scatological. See for yourself at Comics In My Pants. I've kept it going for a month now, dredging through the daily strips looking for spots where my punchline of choice seems to fit, at least syntactically. Enjoy!

Hola! First time reader, long time listener. I was just have a good laugh at what I found...in my pants..And I had a question. How do you match the fonts for the lettering so well? Do you just keep sampling until you find an exact match, or do you copy and paste?

It's all cut'n'paste. For each new strip I mangle, I find the letters I need, arrange the words, and then I save them for the next time I do that strip. Sometimes I get lucky and will find the whole words for "in" and "my", but so far I've always had to piecemeal "pants" out of individual letters.
