So yeah I’ve noticed that I’ve been using a lot of variation on a theme type jokes. Specifically the funny face joke. While I love it so, I do feel it needs a break here and there. That doesn’t mean I’ll never use it again though.
So as a present I did another Youtube vid for today’s strip. I know it’s a fairly simple strip but I hope you enjoy it anyways. And you can click through to watch it in a Higher Res.
If you follow the I am ARG Facebook Group, you probably heard me announce that I’m going to be opening up the ability for you guys to Order prints of individual comics you like. Now… that being said at first not all of the strips will be available. The earlier ones where done at a smaller size. so they need some tweaking before they can be available for prints. Last thing I want to happen is for you guys to recieve a crappy print of it. I want you to get your money’s worth. As for pricing I haven’t arrived at that yet. I have to factor in all the costs involved with printing it and some other things such as how to ship them off. I assure they’ll be reasonable. I ain’t here to gouge you for monies. So after I find a printer that does them to the quality I want them and at a cost that’s affordable for you, we’ll get that all set up. It’s literally checking off a box and it’s ready to go…
Man I have a friend who’s jokes are essentially these strips, and no matter how many times we explain to him that he shouldn’t try to justify or explain his joke, he still does it and kills the jokes. A damn shame really.
I’m looking forward to those prints Andrew đŸ˜€
I can’t say I completely understand all that’s going on in this comic but I feel that it’s effective and it’s proved it’s point. It made me laugh. This probably makes no sense, for this I apologize, I blame my sleepless mind. Staycie out!
I say the fault is my own really. It’s hard to do a comic that is based on making fun of my previous comics. Especially for new people seeing this as their first comic. if you’ve been reading for a while and haven’t gotten it. then I have failed…
I got it :3 there’s not failing here!
It’s strange, I’m reading through it thinking “I know what’s going on, this isn’t funny…” and when I got to the end I thought “interesting observation, but still not funny…” and yet I still laughed :/
You’ve got a strange and twisted power…

I don’t know why, but that second panel made me laugh the most.
thanks arg for another good start in the morning
there’s only one thing to do… increase your online presence and build seo by creating an stb on tumblr that chronicles funny faces in your comics.
Yesterday I was actually thinking about how many times you were just repeating the ugly face joke, so I really enjoyed today’s. Looking forward to some non-ugly face jokes!
No… I would say you succeeded.
At “directing an audience’s mind,” I caught onto what the last two panels were about, and began expecting “something different than I’d expect.” The last panel nearly died me.
Reading the third panel by itself afterward wasn’t as effective as usual, as the joke is more spread out than that (I guess). When I re-read the whole thing, I could sort of remember what was so funny, and I laughed again.
