Jeffrey Rowland's OVERCOMPENSATING
topatoco

09 June 2005

Riiise



No doubt many of you have seen this article regarding dolphins using tools. Not that I am actually all that concerned, but any opportunity I can get to weep while holding a pistol I must take, and an "irrational fear of dolphin-based armageddon" comic is almost required these days.

And yes, those are the same crates seen in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Also panel two is meant to sound exactly like how Nicolas Cage says those lines in The Rock (while he is getting it on with Vanessa Marcil).

Also if you have not seen this Overcompensating art I got from deadmouse you certainly ought to - CLICK -

I've lived in fear ever since that one Simpsons episode. On the bright side, It give me something to think about other than the impending chimp uprising.

I'd just dreamed an orca was trying to eat my girlfriend. The time has come!

Also finally noticed Weedmaster P has been too stoned to use punctuation, and spent too long trying to imagine what that sounds like.

what's in those boxes, is it tools? are you guarding your woodworking tools for fear that the tool using dolphins will borrow em and not give em back for a long time...like bad aquatic neighbors?

also, are you wearing capris? have you always been wearing capris?

Oh man, this is quite possibly the funniest Overcompensating yet. You have outdone yourself, good sir.

Dolphins have prehensile penises.

They can ejaculate up to fourteen feet.

I wonder if it feel odd to draw your own nipples...

Where it is interesting that they are doing such things one could also make the argument that we are wrong and that it's a fasion thing. We wear hats to a) Look good and b) keep the elements off our noggins. Maybe it's like...the ocean equivilent to a nose ring.

It's 5x weirder to draw your own package.

Valuedan- I knew about the spider bite, but I sorta forgot how gnarly it was and prolly left a scar. I don't think I ever looked at the pictures because Jeff warned us that they were GROSS.

Never mind the dolphins...it's the turdin' spiders I worry about. All night long, all I can think about is the coming war against the spiders. They hang up in the corner of my cell where I can't reach them and stare at me all night long. When the war begins, I'll escape at last, and then? Helter skelter, baby.

I wrote an article about these upstart dolphins and linked to your comic. Give it a read.

Dolphins making tools, turkeys eating flesh, monkeys taking horse (Anyone remember Tiberius?), spiders biting Jeff's leg and now THIS!

@Jenny. Ha-ha. I know right. Well, if it seems odd, drawing nipple covers around it seems odder. lolol.
