Sometimes the burden of abstract facts can landslide into philosophies of ideas that conclude into statements of futility. Isn’t that a riot? Here are some random quotes from my sketchbooks starring this weary fellow named Dead Sea Dave. Unfortunately, I don’t have sources for the first three panels. They were quickly scribbled from books or taped lectures. I won’t take credit for them (only credit for arranging the quotes and designing the comic strip). If anyone out there knows the source of the third panel quote please feel free to leave me a comment. The last panel is Kierkegaard – hence the “no shit.”
Humor strip by Kaz, about sordid doings in a surreal city.
About Kaz
Kaz grew up a working class brat who loved cartoons, monsters, punk rock and fine arts. He studied cartooning at NYC’s School of Visual Arts under art spiegelman and Harvey Kurtzman. In 1991 he created the Harvey-nominated strip Underworld which continues to be published in alternative weekly papers across the United States. Since 2001 he has written for Spongebob Squarepants, Cartoon Network’s Camp Lazlo and Disney’s Phineas & Ferb.
I love that little dude delivering the bon mot in the last panel!
BTW, in the first panel, are those leaves on the ground? They kind of look like they could alternatively be big dried boogers.
So what are you a philosopher now? – I like the ass jokes – “nice Ass” – hahahahaha!
I love that little dude too! Well, the stuff in the first panel is trash. It could be boogers. Country trash is leaves and twigs and hillbillies. City trash is glass, tissues, scum, puddles, and anything floating down a sewer.
Listen, Matthew. It’s lowlife hooligans like you that keep the lowest common denominator so low. That’s right I said low three times. Favorite David Bowie album: Low.
