That cartoon with the mime parachutist made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

:-)

(And you are indeed a sick, sick man. E.T. isn't attractive for having a voluptuous body! It's those large, soulful eyes that make E.T. so dreamy, so irresistible... *sigh*...)

Wow, all those words about visuals and then no photoshop for “round Brazilian asses app?”

This was a lot of words to say a pretty simple thing: if you photoshop Elvis Presley as a Muslim suicide bomber, it's just funny: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGZzK2lsDAM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

Just to be that guy: the astronauts with the funny hats are the crew of Apollo 1, who died in a fire during a training exercise in 1967. I’d go with the Apollo 11 or Apollo 13 crews.

Whoops! That was the product of a search for "Apollo astronauts", and it seems like I got the only wrong ones. This piece doesn't really need that photo -- I'll take it down.

What kind of person does it make me that I just laughed out loud at this?

These cartoons are great! Also, puritans are extremely funny. They just don't know it.

Speaking of impressions: A few months back (details have faded), I saw Eddie Murphy do a brief impression of Tracy Morgan. I think it was impromptu, funny, and dead-on.

Cool cartoons! When you talk about sweating over something to get it right, I think of the visual gag in Fawlty Towers where he thrashes his car with the branch: the famously obsessive Cleese tried a bendier one and a stiffer one before settling on the just-bendy-enough-to-be-funny Goldilocks branch immortalised in the show.

I sent the parachuting-mime image to my husband, so great do I think it is. I'll have to wait until he wakes up and sees it before I know whether his response will be "wtf am I looking at? Oh I see, that's cute" and whether I'll have to consider divorcing him as a result. But anyway, great job Greg Bishop.

Speaking of visual humor, I recommend the engineer-turned-comic Don McMillan. He spent his professional life making PowerPoint presentations, and he has leveraged that into a career as a stand-up comic.

Love these cartoons ... they have a bit of an Asher Perlman vibe to them
