When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
The Torch blog [link] is largely blank, so I've decided to fill it with the comics that didn't quite make it into the Torch itself.
Why didn’t this go to press? Well, as you might have noticed… it’s not funny. Like, at all. It was HILARIOUS when I drew it, I assure you. The joke is a pun on the word “denial” and the river “the Nile,” which is in Egypt. So if one is the Pharaoh of The Nile (denial), one is really good at pretending reality doesn’t exist. As for the third panel, the plot of the old television series Yu-Gi-Oh is that the soul of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh is trapped in the body of a young boy from modern Japan, and they have to play card games to save the world. From this, we can determine that all Egyptians, and therefore all pharaohs, are really good at card games. Like I said, it really isn’t funny. It also spawned a delightful conversation wherein I attempted to explain the plot of Yu-Gi-Oh to my good friend Kyle. Kyle: So, he’s Egyptian… me: Yes. Kyle: …but he’s Japanese… me: Yes. Kyle: …but he’s Egyptian? me: Yes. Kyle’s brain: *explodes* CRITIQUE DISCOURAGED because I also misspelled "pharoah." |

Though it amazes me how many people watch it without being familiar with the original dub...there are so many jokes that just won't make sense if you don't know what it is mocking...
