Bizarro is brought to you today by Tough Guys on Tables.
Most of my cartoons just come out of some random knothole in my mind, but this is one of those rare ones that is drawn from my own life. My brother, Gavin, and I used to pull this gag on tourists all the time on the beaches near our childhood home in Burkina Faso.
It was enough of a challenge to build a sand-art replica of the sleeping sunbather without awakening him or her, but real skill was required in getting their bathing suit off and covering them in sand. We developed a technique similar to the way Indiana Jones replaced the jewel with the sack of sand all in one move. It worked for us a good 80% of the time.
I haven't tried this gag in years. I'm probably no longer fast enough to assure my escape should the victim awaken at an inopportune time, but I encourage those of you with a good set of wheels and a mischievous streak to give it a go.
that's really very good, thx for being you
ReplyDeleteYou sure were a rascal, Dan.
ReplyDeleteHA!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI read the title of this one in my best Maxwell Smart voice. "The Old Sandy Swimsuit Gag, can't believe I fell for that one"...
ReplyDeleteSorry about that Dan.
Dan, Greetings from Sweden.
ReplyDeleteLove most of your stuff, even bought a book or two, like your weird paintings even more.
Had a ton of giggeles with it.
Thanks :)
i'd pay good money to see that on video
ReplyDeleteAre you serious? People don't wake up? :0
ReplyDeleteDoes this comic really need a title on the bottom? It adds nothing to the humor, which is pretty weak to begin with...
ReplyDeleteDo you really need to remain Anonymous? It add nothing to your safety, which is pretty weak to begin with.
ReplyDeleteWow. Let's try that again, Jeremy. This time, how about making it coherent?
ReplyDeleteHey, this is so awesome. Thanks, Dan!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteLet me clarify what Jermey meant. I think he may have been a little unclear. I think what he meant to say was, "Anonymous, you're a idiot!"
Signed,
A BETTER Anonymous
Dan, you are crazy, but cool. I waited for the 'fast enough' until someone explained it to me. D'oh!
ReplyDeleteHaha. You called me an idiot. Was "stupid-face" on the tip of your tongue?
ReplyDeleteHeheheh I cannot believe something like that is possible.
