[2011-Nov-13] It Takes More Muscles To Frown Than...

Votey:

I found it funny, reminiscent of the old comics with its single panel, pithy caption, Weineresque hyberbolic reaction to an oft-used cliché, sexual joke, *spits wine out* with a charming bouquet of hollyhocks waiting to whoosh up your nose. I even snorted a small hnss-hnsss of air through my nose as I got the joke, which is the closest I get to LOLing when looking up things on the internet.

Didn't like the votey, however. I'm guessing Copy-Cat is an American printing shop? I don't like speech bubbles that have ellipses in them, and dialogue where the punchline is an answer to a question that wasn't asked.
255 characters of free advertising space? I'm selling these line feather jackets...

"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterward. These are games; one must first answer [the question of suicide]." - Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

I'm tired of this existentialist crap. You exist. Get the fuck over it.

Sorry, I meant to say, "I'm tired of this existential angst crap."

They both sound like Sisyphus to me.

I thought the top one sounded a bit more like it than the bottom.

Sounds like syphilis to me. Pretentious philosophy is so very quaint.

I find the idea of living life due to 'worth' amusing.

So it's... less pretentious to draw crappy comics ad infinitum about your lame existential angst? What a ridiculously stupid -- and yet not wholly unexpected -- position for you to take.

Your graph is incorrect. It takes 12 muscles to frown and 13 to smile. The Smile block should be higher than the Frown one. Take note every douchebag with a pathetic cliche to hand off!
