note: a while back the story in the news was that the mars rover got stuck in a rut
so my little brother has a
comic strip in a college newspaper, and it's all right as that goes.
but that's not that point. the point is i've only sent him one idea for a comic, and it was as follows:
Character is watching news. Guy on news is saying:
"According to NASA, the Mars rover has gotten stuck in a rut. And in a completely unrelated story, pop star Michael Jackson has been walking into a wall for 87 hours straight at this point..."
Pretty simple I thought. My brother said "I don't get it" though, and he has a pretty strange sense of humor himself, so I get to be worried.
A "That's not very funny" I can understand.
A "Michael Jackson is waaay overdone" is probably true.
But an "I don't get it"
was pretty unexpected.
Am I that obscure?
