Super Defacement

Sorry, had to dip into the vault again this week as I've been quite sick and feeling like crap most of last week. Mind you, this one still looks really good even though it's about 5 years or so old, and honestly if I hadn't even mentioned that is was an old one I doubt most of you would have noticed anyway! But hey, I'm not going to lie to you guys would I?

Even though this is old, I can still remember how I got the first idea for this one! I was riding on a train one day and I'm always fascinated by what books people read, I think it says a lot about you honestly. Some people go through medicine cabinets, I poke through your bookcase...anyway, so I always have a good sticky beak at who's reading what on public transport and this one day a woman in front of me was reading some book about heroes and I only got a quick glimpse at it and thought she was reading a book about herpes! I did a quick double take and eventually saw the real title and made a note of it. How funny would it have been though, if she was reading a book on herpes...wait a minute, hmmmm, I think I have another idea forming.....

I remember for ages, the idea was always going to be something about sporting heroes/herpes, and a male sports star who sleeps around a lot having herpes. I think Shane Warne was the one I was going to use, by I could never quite nail the joke, so I eventually looked at it again and came up with "Super Herpes" and this final idea instead.

Anyway, I've had about 3 hours sleep last night, I'm still kind of sick so I'm going to bed, see ya.

Sexual Predator

I've mentioned a couple of times here just how much I tend to scrutinise all the statistics of this blog, such as pageviews and traffic sources. Being as this is a Google based blog, I get detailed stats on what Google search leads people here. Gotta tell you, there's some strange and interesting keyword searches that's for sure. The other day I had a look for the search words for the previous week, which looked like this:

Now I can understand most of these...except a couple there, yep, you know the ones I'm talking about. I wonder just how disappointed the people were who looked for "Slaughtering women the cocks and..." and "Blowjob on the phone cartoon insta..." were? Anyway, I posted the above photo on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter as I'm a social media whore, and my friend Bec mentioned the "Comic predator porn" one. Which I didn't think anything of as I knew it was because of the Predator cartoon I did (http://brinkscartoons.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/sly-predator.html) but she thought it was someone looking for sexual predator porn. Which, she may be right, so I really do hope that weirdo was disappointed. But it got me thinking about "Sexual Predator", which led to this new cartoon. I did spend a fair bit of time Friday morning working on some ideas while I was out for lunch and it did take me awhile to get this one out in the end. I thought of many different ways to visualise "Sexual Predator", like a teenage Predator getting a boner in a high-school class full of humans, a Predator in a human porn movie (I was going to do another "I've come to clean zee pool" again) just to name a few. As usual I was panicking a bit on the drive home as I didn't know what cartoon I was going to drawn that afternoon and boom! After thinking and thinking about Sexual Predators (never thought I'd say that) it came to me, a Predator hiring a prostitute! You think I'd have more faith and confidence in my ideas process by now wouldn't you? Nope, I still panic just beforehand...mind you if I was more organised and had final ideas ready to go before the day I have to do them then all would be good, but hey, I am the master of procrastination....

So I spent a couple of days debating whether to have the caption "Sexual Predator" on the bottom of this cartoon or not, as it's the title of the blog post and all. In the end I was worried that the joke might get missed if someone didn't see the title (especially if the cartoon is seen outside the blog as just an image) so I just put it in there. Which does kind of bug me, as you may know, I like people to think a bit to get a joke rather than just spell it out for them, it's more fun that way. And my favourite jokes always tend to be ones like that, hence also why I prefer them. Oh well, what do you think? Does it work as well without the caption?

See you next time!
