Things I Can't Do






 

Things I Can't Do



1. I am not a good painter (at least not real-world physical painting). While I can paint in monochrome watercolor, it still looks sloppy, messy, and unrefined.

2. I hate waiting. This is why you're receiving a new comic EVERY SINGLE DAY lately instead of one once every OTHER day like I originally planned.

3. What's that? Football season started up? SWEET! GO RED SOX!

4. I hated Seinfeld back then, I hate him now. I dunno what it is, but his brand of humor just doesn't do it for me and I never found anything he did to be all that "amazing," at least not to the point of achieving such a devoted fanbase of people who call him a genius and such...

5. I hate Math with a passion, and Math hates me.

6. I grew up on Disney and Warner Bros cartoons and, as an animator, dealt mostly with analyzing classic children's movies all the way up through college. As such, I am fairly squeamish when it comes to... well ANYTHING. I prefer my movies rated G thank you.

7. I don't like the smell. I don't like the taste. I don't like the idea of being unable to control my judgment. Knowing my addictive and emotionally unstable personality, I fear drinking would lead to disaster.

Just wanted to throw out props for the Petty reference. I signed up solely for the purpose of acknowledging it. It was worth it.

First one is impossible unless you WANT it to look messy. Second one is no problem, I am a painfully patient person. Sports are boring unless there is a car crash on the track. Math is a migraine waiting to happen. Horror movies are too realistic and I don't take pleasure watching gruesome and very believable violence (that is what anime and cartoons are for). Hard licquor is gross.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. -Jerry and George.
Painting takes practice
Nascar is a sport with crashes!
Don't let my brother know you don't like Seinfeld.
Math sucks plain and simple.
Horror movies are hilarious
Eat alot of candy and drink lots of soda to make up for that impressive choice.

1 - My art skills are next to 0
2 - If I don't have my phone with me so I can either browse the web or play games I pretty much die a little (a lot) inside (see what I did there?)
3 - I never ever cared about sports, ever. And I still don't.
4 - I never got seinfeld either
5 - Math is a biiiitch. And I need it for my job. I have no idea how the hell am I still employed.
6 - I'm a little baby when it comes to horror movies. Pretty much everything creeps the piss out of me.
7 - I hate alcohol. Never had any (at least not under my control), never will have any.

Well what do you know, this is the first "Things I...." comic where I am a perfect match for each element!

1. DITTO.
2. DITTO.
3. DITTO. I only like the super bowl because of treats, and I cheer along with everyone else. About what though, I have no idea.
4. Who?
5. I hate math with a passion as well.... In fact, I should be doing some right now.... Eh....
6. I don't mind blood in my head and every now and then in my drawings, but I have no want to see a horror movie... O.o
7. I don't think we could agree more.

OMG - Someone else who doesn't like Sports, Seinfeld, Horror Movies, or Alcohol! HURRAY!!! (I'm not alone...)

Waiting, painting, and math are all painful.

I've tried REALLY hard with math. I pushed my way through advanced multivariable calculus, limits & series, and linear algebra - yet, still, I struggle. I feel like an animator forever working with a debilitating hand cramp.

I think I'll go console myself by snuggling with my kitty and watching Star Trek Voyager.
