Cartoonists toil over the smallest details. In the original, I drew the guy in the “All Repo’ed Up” panel pointing lazily at the big guy. However, I felt even that added too much “sincerity” to the bad acting, so I erased it. See the original here. What do you think? I had them side-by-side for about twenty minutes trying to decide. I liked the arm- the way it looked- but I don’t think it helped the panel so I erased it. Sorry, fictional person who has only one arm now.

Yeah, it does look less sincere with the elbow bent but it might look less sincere if the whole arm was straight. You made the right call I think.
I thought that too! But he was too close to do the straight-arm point, so I erased it instead.

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
I am legitimately annoyed by your anger. We shall now fight about this.

I… I kinda like Cake Boss.
This may be because cake is delicious and cool looking cakes are even more delicious. This is scientific fact.
Oh yeah I got nothin’ against watching a show for its cake value. Cakes are proof that we are loved by a higher, cake-creating power. And tacos.

They started insulting each other but in reverse! XD
Reverse insults are the worst insults, and that almost rhymed.

All of those depictions of shows are still more sincere looking than anything BU has done.
BU? Not sure what that there means.

It is the spontaneity that hooks people isn’t it?
Yep, when the teleprompter spontaneously stops working and the actors sit there unsure of what to say next.

I should watch more TV to appreciate this, but I like the way it gets a bit more ridiculous with each one.
Hah, well the first two are based off of actual shows that claim to be unscripted but has some of the worst-acted shouting matches on TV, like Jerry-Springer-esque acting. The last one was one I made up to mock the other two. Glad you don’t watch any of them!

HA HA! Yep that’s about how it works!
I caught myself watching several episodes of each, just to see how bad the acting was. So, I guess I’m guilty of supporting these shows as well.

I think that is what is happening when I turn my wacom pen upside down and try to draw with it.
It’s like magic!

How boring will it be when they do one on a cartoon guy. We sit alone so there is no one to argue with but ourselves.

Cue Card Guys is completely scripted. You can see them feeding the guys their lines and everything!
People would still watch.

I’d definitely watch cue card guys. Bring in a sign spinners and I’ll devote 5 seasons to watching it.
Some of those sign spinners are quite talented. Though they have never actually convinced me to go in for a new cell phone or a furniture blowout sale.

Xbox live reality raido show… Two 12 year olds screaming NO YOU back and forth… for a half hour…
Hah, I heard that about the newest Halo. Makes me glad I didn’t spend money on an XBox, even though the game is awesome.

I always think that if they’re going to make ridiculous “reality” shows, they should at least make a few that are more interesting to watch. I’m imagining a cooking/wrestling show hosted by 4 julia childs impersonators.
