PolkOut.com don't plant taters!

You and me, we sweat and strain.

                

 

So updating PolkOut is generally quite the pain in my ass.  It takes a while...I gotta draw, scan, color, arrange...type up this crap so you all can not read it.  Well yesterday at Dunkin' Donuts, while getting ice coffee, Mark and I started discussing the idea of random mid-week mini updates; one panel, maybe two or three, just focusing on the pure, unfiltered insanity of something I happen to blurt out.  No setup, just bam!  Crazy!  And by 'discussing' I mean he told me to do it.

 

In this short scene I was recounting a conversation I had with my mom over me eating bacon, enjoy:
 

Mom: So what'd you eat for lunch?

Polkster: We just fried up some eggs and bacon.

Mom: What kind of bacon?

Polkster: Uh...Oscar Meyer...

Mom: What animal...?

Polkster: ...pig, the only kind of bacon worth eating...

Mom: ...you know that's not kosher...

Polkster: The hell do you care?!  You eat shellfish, that's not f!cking kosher either...

Mom: Pig is less kosher...

Polkster: THERE'S NO HIERARCHY!  It either is or it isn't!

Mom: ...I'd never eat a pig...they're too close to people.

Polkster: ...some people.

Mom: They use pig parts in transplants, you know, we're very similar...genetically... it's like eating a person.

Polkster: There's a fine line between eating a small child and enjoying some crispy bacon...fine but bold.

 

I don't know what the deal with my mom is.  We're beyond secular, f!ck, we're so secular we might as well be painting Easter eggs.  But, like me, she just spouts the craziest sh!t.  I hope, for her sake, she's a lot better at dispensing medical advice in the emergency room than she is at home because the crap she slings my way tends to be ridiculous.


"Mom, I'm bleeding from every orifice..."

"Stop sitting so close to the television."

 

Every medical problem I have ever had, have, or will eventually get is due to either:

a. Sitting too close to the TV or computer

b. Standing in front of the microwave as it's on

c. Going to bed too late

 

In other news, if you want swag, and I know you do, you should know all the designs in the store are placeholders--they're cool, but they can be changed for whatever custom design you want.  So post in the forums or contact me (my email address can be found in the about section) and it'll be done lickity split.
