Ventriloquists are Weird

Peter here again, bringing you comics review for Wednesday!

Is there something I'm not getting here? Or is this just a slice of wild absurdism?

Eek!

Yeah, when your dummy starts talking back to you, probably time to lay off the Red Bull. Also, I'm a bit confused as to why this guy is manically drinking energy drinks alone in his room. Is he prepping for a show the next day? Ventriloquists are an odd sort I guess.

Speaking of ventriloquists...

I like the dummy's thought bubble. Though, overall this comic isn't very original. You see the creepy ventriloquist in bad date montages in movies all the time.

It's a tradeoff... a diet will make a lap less soft, but it should provide more lap space.

That's right, emotional-abusive affairs can be more hurtful than physical ones.

No need to call, Lemont—it's just a simple online form you can fill out. Better get on it though, as it'll be a few weeks before you start getting the checks. I don't know if your kid can wait that long.

Most voice mailbox logins give instructions along the lines of "Enter your PIN followed by the pound sign" (or "hash key" if your are in the UK). I think the Compu-Toon is playing off of that phrase, combining it with the paranoid feeling that you are being followed.

Doesn't seem to make it funny though...

I think Compu-Toon is more likely referring to the use of hashtags in twitter to track topics, which may often be particular people. Still not very funny, but getting there.
