The System 431: Pirate Juice
Today’s comic was inspired by the most recent Nedroid comic, which parodies The New Yorker style of image / caption cartooning. A bit silly, but I thought it had some nice subtlely.
For those who wonder how a joke comes together, here’s the train of thought behind today’s comic:
Hmm, what should this comic be about? I said I’d do a caption style. I guess I should go read some New Yorker cartoons. Okay, there goes an hour. Now what about this comic? Do I have any notes written down? “Pirate juice”, what was that supposed to be? Oh yeah! This could be funny…
*10 minutes of Illustrator time later*
What exactly should the line be? Should it be that the doctor is lecturing the patient or apologizing to him? I think it works better as the doctor apologizing, like he didn’t know any better. I can do that just by writing “sorry” at the front. Nice. Aaaand Marty thinks this is funny. Okay, time to post! I guess I’ll mention how I came up with this in the writeup. Maybe people will read that.
Remember, any print of any comic purchased through the HilariAwesome.com store through the end of the month has all the proceeds go to a cure for breast cancer! Currently we’re at $0. Come on you guys, you’re making me look bad in front of breast cancer.

The real question is, would pirate juice be juice that pirates drink, or pirate-flavoured juice? Or, perhaps… BOTH?

Can we get this one on a shirt?

You call it new yorker, I call it Far Side.

Shirt. That is all.

Studies have shown that bedside manor has more to do with malpractice lawsuits than the actual competency of the doctor. Physicians that are liked by their patients and apologize have the lowest number of malpractice lawsuits. The less polite the physician is, the more likely they are to get sued.

Shirt. Oh, and it's too bad this didn't come out before "Talk Like A Pirate Day". The cross promotion would have been amazing.

Just as long as it's made from fresh pirates, and not from concentrate…

This concept is so t-shirt worthy that if you don't make them, someone else probably will.

Rosscott, Would it be like any sort of copyright infringment if i were to make one myself?

Only a little. I wouldn't fault you, but I think I'll put it up on Zazzle in the meantime.
