Poop Jail Comic teaser!

[lb_lee]

Rogan: Hey guys, I'm working on a naughty comic right now, but here's a panel that isn't naughty at all!

This part of the comic covers apartment-hunting, and due to space constraints (this is a comic about boning, not apartment-hunting), I needed three "so messed up you'd rather be homeless than live there" apartments, and the messed-up-ness had to be easily visually conveyed in one wordless panel. The first two were pretty easy to come up with (filthy house, screaming roommates), but I was stumped for a third, so I asked my headmates.

Mac said, "Jesus."

Mori said, "Clowns."

Then their eyes got really big and they breathed together, "JESUS CLOWNS"

And so this happened. Click to enlarge:

I am cackling irl at the CRUCIFIED CLOWN JESUS, OH MY GOD

[lb_lee]

Rogan: many thanks go to a friend's relative's Jesus wall and our own grandfather's wall rug of a hoaxy newspaper photograph supposedly of Jesus's face in a melting snowbank! And an honorable mention to the clown painting that hung in our childhood home's rec room.

May Clown God Be With You

Mac: and also with you! Let us pray.

That is hilarious! Jesus Clown decor all over an apartment would be a big red flag...

[lb_lee]

Rogan: I actually had to add the NO HOMOS NO HEATHENS sign because the results were SO ridiculous that I found myself perversely liking this entirely hypothetical fictional person who had such decor. If nothing else, they'd be UNIQUE! (And have a memorable sense of humor.)

Hoooooleeeee fuck! I'd be flinging my ass out that door too.

HONK HONK HONK HONK

...i literally came here to say "do the goofy oversized clown shoes 'honk' as they are nailed to the cross?" :oD

[lb_lee]

ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!!!

:D

..plus NEW DREAMWIDTH ICON :)

Re: :D

[lb_lee]

It is a good delight icon! (And I assumed the original was a death animation, myself: the monster holding you by the ankle right before killing you.)

Re: :D

[storyheight]

..yknow that's probably more likely. I guess I gave the crappy game design too much benefit of the doubt, thinking "huh no Way would they think that Were Tiger's hand was close enough to Aladin-y dude's ankle to imply he's holding him"

[armaina]

LOLL!! NGL that would give me pause if I first encountered something like that at a new potential living situation.

Rogan: I can't lie, I did have fun drawing these absolutely horrendous apartments, which aren't actually based on anywhere I've been. (Mostly because the most horrendous places I've checked out weren't funny or were horrendous in a way that's harder to visually convey.)

I love that I have a job where I got to draw clown Jesus.

[armaina]

yeah I mean I figured they weren't actually facsimile of places you've been, I feel like it would ruin the mood if you were trying to work on a horny comic only to be hit upside the head by bad memories of real places.

In Ursula Vernon's podcast The Hidden Almanac, there's a god that's inspired by a bumper sticker she saw with very bad kerning, and I feel like this goes along with that.

The bumper sticker was SMILEGOD LOVES YOU

[lb_lee]

Ominous! No god of smiles is going to be a nice god, I imagine.

[silvered_woods]

I have to say, I don't think I've ever seen an image of an apartment fit for human habitation that caused this level of instinctive, visceral "GET OUT NOW". Well done! This will haunt my dreams for the next month.

I am pleased that so many people are enjoying this very silly panel.
