August 2019 Begins

I now only have 7.51 months out of 18 of backlog left. What I have now consists of comics August 2019 through comics April 2020, with half a month's worth of April comics I never got around to posting. (I lost them, actually.) I'll be putting up the April comics when Ava is reintroduced, which, as it turns out, doesn't happen until September.

You know, it's funny. . . I used to try and cast Ava as the optimist because she's on the Light Side. But her comeback comic was all about cynicism, and most of her jokes feature either her pessimism or her guilt issues.

Anyway, here we go. August 2019.



For some reason, identity theft is pretty easy to joke about. I'm not really sure what sets it apart as an amusing crime. I guess a holdup can be kinda goofy, too ("Give us all your money." "You expect me to take you seriously when you're wearing a bandana with little lollipops all over it?"), but identity theft is uniquely hilarious.

Like this gem from Reader's Digest (slightly paraphrased): "Someone stole my identity and it ruined her life."



Kirk can't hurl lightning and toss people around with his mind, therefore Anne always wins any bickerment they get into.



Hmm. . . shades of Early June.

Anne is currently majoring in cigarette advertising. (The bank teller looked at her a little funny when she said that, but I figured it was the perfect career for a Sith. Anne also figures the training in subliminal messages may assist her in taking over the world later on.)

Booting Back Up

 . . . sorry about how long getting this back up took, Mom and "Strangelet." And maybe Maren. And, to make up for that pointless line of pictures, here's a real comic. Only had time to color the first one, sorry.

Overly Realistic Dad Jokes

 Again. . . sorry about missing days. If anyone's even reading this. (Anyone who is, please signal as such in the comments section. . . I don't expect to see any such signals for another couple of decades.) The prerequisite moping out of the way, let's get to the funny stuff. "But it's like Potions! No, it's worse than Potions!" "Good, good. . . let your hate fuel you." In cold or damp weather, Anne has bones that still won't let her forget it.

Introducing Rachel! And Other Comics

Image
This is the first appearance of Rachel Bucket (no, I'm not kidding) in TSA. She was my attempt to write a Christian character, although she was originally from a failed post apocalyptic (also not kidding). It never even got a word written down, and that was mostly what channeled into her character as a TSA cast member. The original line was, "NEVER say that to a Christian!!!" Like Ava's intro comic, it's a religious gag and I wrote a second (third?) copy because I crammed a ton of words into the third panel and then doubted they were legible. Here it is. . . Can you read that one better? I hope so. It's about like any other comic I drew after I got bigger panels. (Thank goodness. I can't write that tiny anymore.) Unlike Ava's intro, this is something I do. Not in front of other people, but, if you are for some reason  into reading books of conspiracy theories about how the world is going to end next Wednesday, it is really good for you
