Bringing Home the Bacon and Octopi

January 8th, 2009


inspired by the Brazilian tribal males who believe that before becoming a man, one must prove himself worthy by enduring major pain and risking death. in order to allow for americans to better relate to this ritual, i have paired the act with charlie brown. charlie as a boy goes through the ritual of the ant glove to progress into manhood. he is yelling out of pain and frustration, just as he does in the comics. then fast forward to charlie as a man. adults in the charlie brown comics dont speak coherently. all they say is wah wah, therefore man charlie can only say wah wah. he has ant bite scars and now has married, probably to lucy. he must provide for his family by working at the office, selling muffins and mufflers, and use the money earned to bring home bacon fresh from oscar mayer’s farm. he uses the left over money to buy more yellow with black zigzag shirts to last him the rest of his life.

aaugh! koreans eat live octopus to gain strength. aaugh! aaaaugh!
