a dustpan?


My question exactly (although considering he was sitting on a toilet holding it, I do debate just how bad I want to know... Laughing )

As previously mentioned, it's a hand mirror.

I'll admit, while I liked comic #3, I haven't been too fond of the rest of them. The rest (particularly the ones after #3) have just been a bit too toilet/immature humor for my taste. I think this will be the last one for me. I really respect Jadress and her talent, and I enjoy the simplistic art of it, but the jokes just aren't working for me, they just aren't my kind of humor. You can't please everyone though, and it seems most people enjoy it, so I'm just a stick-in-the-mud type when it comes to humor, it seems.

No, the humor just doesn't suit you. At least you aren't trying to cut Jadress down and say that she sucks. (I enjoy the comic so I'm not saying it either).

Anyway, good job again, I look forward to next week.

I guess I don't fully "get" this one. Is it making fun of egotistical VA's or fans who don't respect privacy? I liked last week's a lot better, but I still will read this every week.

Me too, I miss watching that show. Really need to buy it.

While I love these comics, this one didn't seem to be quite as good but I still eagerly await next weeks^^

I love these comics. I miss Nina though. Her naivete is so funny, and makes her stories more wholesome than the last two. But I enjoy the mix of humor nonetheless.

I feel like an ass for actually looking this title up. Anime hyperD Thought it was real.

My favorite is the one that came before this one. Anime hyper This one's still funny though.

I'm pretty sure this is a satire and play on the VA's who's egos are a bit too big for their britches. Believe it or not people they're not all super nice and humble. Some are full of themselves and have a sense of entitlement. I believe this is a play on those kind of VA's. The ones that try to wow you by instantly mentioning their long list of titles and how awesome they are.

I agree with Mylene a bit and that the humor in the comics is tending to be a bit more.....simple but I wouldn't necessarily call them low brow. They so far have played on behind the scenes jokes and stereotypes and play on them. I don't see them as toilet humor personally and think they've been well done so far. Plus they are just jokes anyway and not targeted at anyone in particular. But as they say to each their own.

Um, wow. o.o As far as I know, I've never actually met any voice actors quite that bad... I've always been of the mindset that that kind of egotism is for big name holywood stars. ^^;
