Now, maybe I'm not creative enough or maybe they're a bunch of liars, but I've never had a problem ranking my favorite works. And right now, I think today's comic is my favorite gag I've ever done.
I love the simplicity of it. And I think it works on many levels. (Of course, knowing my luck, I may discover in posting this that one of the Bagleys, Grondahl, or Beckstrom already came up with this joke ten years ago.)

Yeah, I like that one a lot. And just so you know, I don't even read any of those other guys' comics. Just yours. :)
ReplyDeleteThis gag is really great! Some people work their whole lives to create their "favorite." You are young enough and talented enough that there will be many more favorites to come and I look forward to laughing at them.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there some quote about cutting off your nose to spite your face? LOL
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Thanks for making me laugh!!
ReplyDeleteThis one is very funny and minimalistic.
ReplyDeleteAnd, for all we know, the mother snowman might be nine months pregnant (tough to tell with snowmen).
BTW, Bagley was never this clever.
This comic fits you perfectly since I always like to refer to your finished products as "cute" (remember how mad that used to make you?) This comic is definitely cute. I love it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Jena, it took me a while but I've finally come to the acceptance that my art is more "cute" than "manly".
ReplyDeleteBut this joke is more than just cute. It's also commentary on gender roles in the church. Do you think the dad snowman would ever sacrifice his nose for that Jell-o salad? I'd like to think those Sunstone Mormon types could write a 20 page article on this gag alone.
(Ah, who am I kidding, it's cute.)
I like it! And I can tell you, Beckstrom didn't do it (I might, um, borrow it...). I love snowman cartoons, though. Good job!
