Brentaterian…
Man, don’t you just hate it when a web cartoonist resorts to throwing a lame ass reference to another popular cartoon strip in a desperate act to get attention? Yeah, so do I.
I thought long and hard about making this strip because I didn’t – and don’t – want to be perceived as the type of cartoonist that carefully plans jokes involving other web cartoon characters or creators in an attempt for them to check out my site and possibly link my strip to theirs. That’s been done and overdone so many times in the past.
So, why did I ultimately decide to do this particular strip? Well, for one, I thought it was too good to pass up and two, I thought the reference MIGHT not be SO obvious. Of course long time readers of that OTHER, JUST TURNED TEN YEARS OLD strip would be familiar with a certain panda that likes to eat another certain character from that same strip. But for others who may NOT read that OTHER STRIP… maybe the reference is JUST subtle enough that they would wonder about it and do a Google search. Hey, stranger things have happened…
Or, I could just be a hack with little to no credibility to my name whatsoever.
In any case, if you’re a fan of THAT OTHER STRIP, I hope you get today’s joke and appreciate the reference. And, if you so happen to JUST be the ARTIST of THAT OTHER strip and somehow found out about this strip today, well man, I’m a fan and I hope you get a chuckle out of it as well.
