i like comics whose punchlines revolve around a word with different definitions. the humor tends to be dry and understated. every once in a while inspiration hits me and i write one of this sort of comics. in fact, my very first comic involved "Jesus" as both an interjection and a proper name (whose didn't?)

anyway, i'd like to treat (read: subject) you to a couple of them, and perhaps elicit some from you fine funny folk.

and one that uses a similar style of humor:

why PA's gabe is my avatar of choice for these comics is beyond me.

Absolutely brilliant

Maybe find some less esoteric phrases to use, and you have yourself a true classic.

Again, brilliant...

Funny.

I always see those orange signs on the side of the road that say "End Construction" and I think they've been put there by anti-growth activists.

Those comics absolutely kick ass.

Here's a cheesy one-liner, hence the title...

And those orange signs that say, "Survey Crew Ahead" ... I always try to roll down the window and shout "No Opinion!" as I go past.

Duh--you're supposed to survey them!

When I see this sign, I always think, "Uh-oh, it's one of those teeter-totter crossings."
