Yes And?

/

You may wonder, especially after reading Tuesday's essay on Cats, how is it that my brother Carlos is so funny? The answer is simple: years of improv. Every week, twice a week, he would go to the improv factory and work on the line building jokes. And that hard work payed off. Now, he's a funny-mage with public laughter at his beck and call.

Being brothers, this clear edge will not do.

I have just started improv classes myself. It is a cold craft, though that may have just been the air conditioning. Despite all the friendly people and light atmosphere, I will forge on.

Already I feel progress in my very veins. One of the key lessons was of 'Yes And'. The concept of 'No' does not exist in improv. Much like Buddhism, one must accept the world as it is, not question or reject it. 

Let's practice this, you and I. A statement will supplied for you, rest easy. But only you can finish this improv cycle. Ready?

- "The new Time Cheetah page sure is amazing!"

Quick, 'Yes And'. 'YES AND'!

CAT PEOPLE

Pop quiz, hot shot: cat person or dog person?

My friend Rodrigo has two cats (names withheld to protect their identities), and they both exist in a dimension other than our own. I cannot physically do anything to attract their attention. I've called their names, tried to pet them, looked at them, NOT looked at them, sat completely still, blown an airhorn... absolutely nothing makes them pay attention to me. But this weekend, when my girlfriend and I were over at his place for dinner, all she did was coo and put her hand out. And those cats stopped peering into the infinite abyss, actually gave a shit and payed attention to her.

Like I said: cat person or dog person?

I know what I am (dog person). I know what my girlfriend is (cat person). I know what Time Cheetah is (Cat Person). And I know what David Bowie was (Cat People). What are you?

Anyway, read today's newest page. Makes more sense than this!

Comic Con Postscript

/

San Diego Comic Con has finally left our fair city, scattering to the wind like a plague of locusts, not to return until next year's harvest! When I wasn't working at the IDW Publishing booth (Come visit us at booth #... oh), I managed to snag a few cool things:

–Bought a few prints from Kris Kehasukjaren, who draws some wonderful images! I bought the DBZ, Studio Ghibli, and Smash Bros. prints, but would have gotten a few more if I had more money to spend. Check out his stuff at https://www.etsy.com/shop/minionmeshop!

–Boys Club by Matt Furie. Some truly ridiculous stoner humor. Lots of gross stuff, but I couldn't stop laughing. I'm a simple man with simple tastes.

–Hip Hop Family Tree vol. 4 by Ed Piskor. The three previous volumes have all been fantastic, and Ed Piskor is keeping up the quality. Can't wait to dig in!

I also managed to go to a single panel, the Samurai Jack panel where they showed some new footage for the upcoming Adult Swim show. All I can say is... I owe a lot of my creative career—past, present, and future—to Genndy Tartakovsky and the Sam Jack crew. Beautiful, beautiful stuff.

You know what else is almost as good as all these things? Time Cheetah! Check out today's new page, it has one of my favorite jokes. (Hint: it involves the word FUCK)
