More typo-inspiration! Turns out different words mean different things. Who knew?

Simplistick #4
Ignore the facts that A) It’s super-unclear that this is two different panels, B) no one has ever named an event simply “Feminism Rally,” and C) the lady speaking seems to grow hair exclusively on the top of her head. I kinda had to focus all my brain power on trying to draw an at least somewhat recognizable version of The Thing, so hopefully you’ll give me a pass here. I am bad at drawing.

A lot of these are gonna be wordplay, guys. I’m so sorry.
Simplistick #2
Inspired by a typo I come across way too frequently on social media. If I ever discover a new mountain (that’s still a thing that can happen, right?) I’m naming it this.

This bears some explaining. I tend to think visually, so when something about life or the way we use language strikes me as funny, it’s because it has caused me to picture something bizarre or silly. Wanting to share these images, but being in no way inclined toward the visual arts, I really only have a couple of options: on one hand, I could use a bunch of words to describe what I’m picturing, but my wife has assured me that this option is to laughter what the current U.S. presidential election is to optimism and faith in the inherent goodness of mankind at large. This leaves me with the second option: concentrate real hard and sketch out an approximation of what I find so dang funny with some simplistic stick figures. So, to make that last sentence less awkwardly repetitive at the end there, I’ve elected to name this (very loosely defined) webcomic “Simplistick.” The first five are a backlog, and will thus come in pretty regular succession. After that, all bets are off. Here we go.
