…but I’ll try. The 9 July 2013 Crankshaft had a joke (yeah, whatever) about Crankshaft putting ketchup on everything, and the old lady who lives with him commenting, “Your father puts ketchup on the most inappropriate things.”
In an effort to salvage what little humor there was in this particular strip on this particular day, Josh, The Comics Curmudgeon himself, said: ‘“Your father puts ketchup on so many inappropriate things”…is surely the greatest sentence that will appear in the comics all week, and perhaps all month. It’s positively poetic. In fact, I urge all of you poetically inclined folk to make it the first line in a poem of your own design in the comments. I expect Pulitzer Prize-winning greatness.’
Well, heck, the commentary that resulted made the site look like that weird tomato-chucking festival the locals hold annually somewhere in Spain. (It’s La Tomatina, held in Buñol, in case you’re making travel plans. It’s probably safer than running with the bulls.)
And since I don’t consider myself a poet, I took the visual route. Here’s ketchup in yer eye! [What surprised me is no one commented on the contents of the wine glass…maybe I’m just too obvious.]
