So, I've just seen "Big Fish," a tremendous movie, by the by, and it's got me thinking about fatherhood. Mind you, it hasn't made me want to be a father--fuck, I've never even managed to keep a hamster alive for more than a couple of months--but about fatherhood in general. Now I'm sick of thinking about it, so it's time for you folks to do it for me.

Show me some advice your father gave you, or something funny you saw a father do in public... anything along those lines. Hell, you can even use this space to recreate your favorite "little Billy" joke, for all I care. Just make it funny--and you'll even get extra points if you can be funny and poignant at the same time (I admit, I cried like a motherchicken at that damned movie; I thought I would have to leave).

Judging will happen Wednesday evening, after I've taken my dad to see "Big Fish." (:

It started out as a real life event, was turned into a crude comic when I was BDD, and now it has been refined. It's not winning material, but I deem it presentable for CC228.

And here's a three-parter for you.

Yes sir. Impending fatherhood can be tough if you're not prepared.

Is anyone else disapointed that MikeyG never once used the line "AHA! It is me/I, Jesus"?

Here you are, all--the results of this here competition. I was surprised so many of you took the word "poignant" in my rules to mean "perverse." Aww, what the hell am I saying; I wasn't surprised at all. Here are the ones that struck me as particularly gutbusting:

boinky33 - why i'm so screwed up (series, but esp. #1)
ObiJo - A conversation with my dead father
mmyers - My friend Gary's Dad
and Sundays in the Park... (series)
Rabid_Weasle - Hooory Shit!
Inflatable_Man - Father Knows Best!
EvilZak - Eight Simple Rules
and Prevent Child Abuse
Kaufman - Advice to a failed all-star
Spankling - Family Reunion (series)
kramer_vs_kramer - I go back to the shack... (the whole series was fun, but the cunnilingus punchline got me)

Both of EvilZak's above mentioned comics made me laugh an awful lot (seriously, reread them right now), but the new take on the old SC trope presented by Mr. Weasle takes the prize:

Everyone still needs to see "Big Fish," and I'm outta here.

hey, I wasn't honored. as a matter of fact, the biggest compliment I've got so far was, "Your most recent comic shows signs of serious improvement," and, "Suck me, beautiful."
