He is to me what Hobbes is to him!

Background:
Calvin is a rebellious kid. He doesn’t like school and has problems with education. He is a little dark since he like being a little destructive. But his childish innocence is more charismatic than his mischievous!

His best buddy is Hobbes – His stuffed tiger doll. Hobbes is alive only for Calvin and is portrayed as a lifeless doll by the caricaturist Bill Watterson when there is a third person! So, what Hobbes says is just a figment of Calvin’s own imagination!

Here are a few that I enjoyed and why

The fun is actually in the mundane things you know but just don’t stop to describe it!

They say Math is not about plugging numbers in a formula and solving it. It is about “the approach” and “the angle” at which you look at it. Well, here is the approach and the angle!

Its not enough you arrive at solution to a problem. Its equally important to review it and look if something is wrong with your answer!

Writing (or composition as the sophisticated British call it!) is just as important as math!

Sometimes you have genuine reason for not completing your work at home!

If you are really focused in class, you wouldn’t realize the time pass! Would’nt you?

Knowledge is Power. But did you know it has drawbacks?
Plato, Swami Vivekandanda, Einstein, CV Raman, Jaggi Vasudev… all have a chink in the armour!
Calvin doesn’t!

But don't underestimate Calvin's creativity just because he is into reading, writing and math!

And finally, this is among my all time favourites!

There is always chear…
When Calvin is here!

Guinness record for the longest typing mistake!

Say whatever you want about Dr. Swamy (and I have said a lot myself), but one has to admit he has a sense of humour! :)

Sense!

TV!

An excellent portrait of how TV has changed itself and all else in 20 years!

Retronym of "Follow"

Shared on social network by a friend that I was "following"!

Now I am thankful to the friend and Jesus to have provided a reminder of what "follow" used to mean by default! :)

Meeting Deadlines

It has been such a long time since I filled up this space. Goes to show that not a lot of fun is going around in my life. But this is one strip that made my day today!

Sathish Acharya's Kopykatman on Osama's death

Sathish Acharya's cartoons continue to impress me. I think going through his cartoons is one sure shot way of exercising and reducing my bloating tummy! Here is his take on Osama's death and "burial at sea". Click on the image to make it readable

Sathish Acharya's cartoons!

Sathish Acharya's cartoons are part of my daily diet nowadays! Here are a couple of his recent best!

Mixed bag of Picture jokes

A friend and ex-colleague of mine has a Facebook album full of a mixed bag if picture jokes. Quite a few of them are exceptional. Here are a few I liked!

Mosque @ Ground Zero

Last post was about Laught IT Out... and this one is about Satish Acharya's World of an Indian Cartoonist. Take a look!

Feeding Baby Turtles

Laugh IT Out has some really good sense of humour. Here is one sample from their blog!

World of an Indian Cartoonist

I have been following the blog "World of an Indian Cartoonist", the blog of a self-taught cartoonist whose has seen good reception recently. His recent cartoon on the world record setting tennis match between two unknowns in the Wimbledon is specifically very funny. Posting it here with due credits!

Seinfeld

Oh the work is loading today. Its not just loading it is so damn boring simultaneously. On top of it there is this annoying TV serial in which one visibly cruel lady wants to do all the bad things in the world to a lot of people around her who can't deliver a dialog well. (May be they deserve it!)

I badly wanted to laugh and started browsing for quotes by comedians. I tried Jim Carrey, but then I remember Seinfeld. How could I forget him. And boy did I laugh! Here are a few of his!

• I was the best man at the wedding. If I'm the best man, why is she marrying him?
• Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them's making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge.
• Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem.Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.
• Why do they call it a "building"? It looks like they're finished. Why isn't it a "built"?
• Men don't care what's on TV. They only care what else is on TV.
• You can measure distance by time. "How far away is it?" "Oh about 20 minutes." But it doesn't work the other way. "When do you get off work?" "Around 3 miles."

But this is the best one! I was just laughing with tears fill I can't bear the cramps in my stomach!

"I will never understand why they cook on TV. I can't smell it. Can't eat it. Can't taste it. The end of the show they hold it up to the camera, "Well, here it is. You can't have any. Thanks for watching. Goodbye."

Bliss!

Meal out of movie stars

Everyone loves to make a meal out of movie stars. But this one takes it to a more literal sense.

Remembering the travails of a South Indian male

This article was introduced to me by a childhood buddy of mine and boy I almost soiled myself with laughter. I could only relate to this more because I am one of the "Venkatachalapathy"s myself, but could still take heart from the fact that there are still "Blossom Babykutty"s to who I can point my finger at laugh. Oh it does give so much fun to laugh at others especially when you are not much better off than them!

I read this article much before I started blogging and since then I find that this article has spread across the web like H1N1. It would be a pity to have a blog dedicated to comedy without talking about this one.

If you feel like a child lost in a pub, read the article.

Men's Brain vs. Women's Brain

Just a little over a year ago, I watched a stand-up comedy videos of controversial George Carlin. He made my laugh my heads off! and dutifully posted at LOL. And then suddenly the news came that he died. I couldn't help wonder about the connection.

Now, thanks for Facebook, I discovered another guy Mark Gungor and man is he humorous? Just check out the video!

Way to go Mark! (...and be careful :D)
