We at The Straight Face are not heartless ogres born of stone and ill will. Today we bring you a magical father-son moment to help you celebrate with that special father figure in your life be he animal, vegetable, or mineral. Let’s hope he’s made of diamonds and not potatoes though–who wouldn’t trade their dad in for a diamond statue of him? I like to think that just before he turned to diamonds that he’d be happy about being immortalized, or really scared of dying. While the second choice is less valuable artistically I bet you could put him in your front yard so the neighbor kids thought you had some diamond transmogrifying basilisk in your yard. Until some rapper steals him and takes him apart to create a diamond shell for his skin. Good luck with that man.
Next year you should probably just get a bottle of scotch, drink half, and pour the rest out on his grave. That way things don’t get out of hand like they did this year. Happy Father’s Day from The Face.
While Matt, Don, and Jeremy will remain around for the long haul, we’ve been having fun writing some less structured comics this last week or two. We have a back stock of about eight of these suckers. So we thought we’d showcase a couple for you guys this week while we wait anxiously for Cthulhu to bestow on our chest a big enough piece of Don to cast a Scroll of Resurection on. Does anyone have a 500gp gem they can mail me? I promise to only use it for good.
That’s funny! Poor Mrs. Potato Head. We’ll miss her so.
Cannibal!
I like how the mouth is what stopped him in his tracks.
When crafting this comic there was much discussion about the comedic role of the lips.
I love the cartoon x’s for her eyes, subtly brilliant!
