Seems Gene and Mubba are collecting bottles and cans to recycle for money. Let's see what happens...
MUBBA (looking down at a discarded paper cup): "Aw! This one's paper---we can't deposit it for a return!"
GENE (ta-dah): "Yeah, it's just a paper cup, likely came from the food court of this shopping center"
GENE (observing an approaching sanitation vehicle): "...And here comes a broom truck to take it away!"
MUBBA (excited): "Oh boy! I love street sweepers! I'm gonna watch!"
/the truck passes by, vacuuming the cup/
MUBBA (waving): "Goodbye, mall cup! We'll never forget you!"
/the cubs watch the truck vanish out of sight/
GENE (to reader): "Everything ends, and now so has this comic!"
...So, "mall cup" is a term I *recently heard in reference to those **paper soda fountain cups one often gets from fast-food places. The term amused my autism, so I made this comic. :P
*from an episode of It's Punky Brewster ...Glomer is bae, btw (expect an ACO one of these years).
**I suppose the term could also apply to those big plastic cups
"Mall cup" lol :D
Anyway... has anyone noticed that 9 times in 10 my comics are, well ...not very funny?
That's somewhat intentional. I say 'somewhat' because being a terrible writer doesn't help, but my characters do lean naturally towards anti-humor.
Like, I set the characters up for some potential joke or action, but rarely do I let it go anywhere.
Take this cartoon for example---the whole point of it (for me) was to get a character to say 'mall cup'. The bonus here was I got to reinforce the idea that Mubba likes street sweepers (which is true, though it's been a very long time since I last brought them up). That's really it.
...Mall cup. ^_^
Pencil...
The featured pencil is made from recycled newsprint. You can sorta-kinda see some print bleeding through the barrel (but there's nothing on it to read ...shame because whatever was there was likely more interesting than this comic). ^^
...Mall cup (ok, I'll stop now) ^_-
