The Monday Funnies

by Al Yellon on May 11, 2009 8:36 AM CDT in Cartoons

In the recent History Channel series "Life After People", they showed images of what they speculated Wrigley Field might look after many years with no humans around. This inspired Mike. This is part one of a four-part series.

What the History Channel REALLY should have shown!

For some reason

calling The History Channel “THC” makes me giggle

Well, how else would you abbreviate it?

The HC

True.

But did you like the cartoon?

ok

to be honest, the small version is too small to read, and having to scroll around the larger version takes some of the joy out of it.

Well...

… the only way to get all the panels there was to put it in the larger version. Maybe in the future we’ll try to get them posted in smaller chunks.

it worked well for me..

.. to save it to my comp and then open with a jpg viewer — that way I could adjust the zoom to a nice intermediate level.. only took a few seconds..

OK...

… I’ll try to post the next installments in somewhat smaller versions, that will both be readable and require less scrolling.

Deal?

No

I won’t be able to read it if the font gets any smaller.

by Allie on May 11, 2009 5:45 PM CDT up reply actions

I won't make it too small, promise.

I liked the cartoon well enough..

As soon as Mike finishes it and sends it to me!

Very clever so far

One of Mike's best!

Very “28 Days Later”. Love it.

I guess that's a scoreboard 0

but I was hoping it was from AC0000000.

SHHH!

Wait for the other installments!

Next one should be here by the weekend.

LOL - "calcified."

Nice job!

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
