A Joke He Doesn’t See
And a joke I can’t write. Doing a humorous strip was never an option for me. I can’t write jokes, intellectually I understand what a punchline is, but I don’t get it enough to write it. That being said, I like these villagers, I like them alot, and on that note, there will be some timid dipping of toes into tepid waters.
Here is a good example of a punchline put to practice:
*Vaagen sighs within his cage, Lupa is nearby and smells his breath*
Lupa (Disgusted): Ugh, your breath stinks!
Vaagen: You are one to talk!
Lupa: Yours smells REAL bad!
Vaagen: Oh, really?
*Vaagen puts his palm around his mouth and nose and exhales*
Vaagen (Smelling his own breath): Hmm, it DOES smell bad, it smells… like…. OH, NO!
*The vampire’s body begins to turn to dust, the next scene shows a tombstone with simple epitaph chiseled in*
R.I.P.
Vaagen
Evil vampire
His breath smelled like garlic.
LOL, way better than I could do.
