On the Power of Visual Narrative

Life Its Own Self sometimes does better than any old comical strip.

[Later edit: Dammit, the punch line is Photoshopped, thanks Devil's Rancher. Ugh, I just hate getting gulled like that.]

    Someone had to go and ruin what was a perfectly good sequence of real photographs by photoshopping the final one. The last big, green truck didn't go in the water-- compare the very last shot in that series carefully to the fifth one down-- people in the exact same poses.

    Other than that, I think they're genuine.

    Yeah, but sometimes ya gotta play fast and loose with the narrative to make a good story.

    Wait...that sounds too much like Republican policy.

    It was funny as soon as the big truck showed up.

    And the fact that they couldn't spell Galway meant nothing to you ...
