I used to collect weird images from the internet. I have a rather sizable collection. I threw some into a collage tool, and this is what I got. Very long alt-text. #pics #humor #memes #internet

A collage with 14 images. 1. An OMG b/w movie clip, 2. A man with a smiley face emoji ball cellophane wrapped to his head, 3. Trump standing next to half-naked man for a selfie, 4. A punk show mosh pit where a young lady accidentally kicks another dancer in the crotch, 5. A donkey in a very shallow well, 6. Two mostly nude women in full body paint, 7. A woman trying to catch a flying hotdog with her mouth, 8. A Japanese Diet member licking the face of another representative during a political hearing, 9. A Barbie doll package that excitedly proclaims that “Barbie Squirts”. Indeed, 10. A baby flipping the middle finger, 11. Three drunks ladies at a party who are experiencing the effects of gravity, 12. Three men on a couch, each of which whose crotches are on fire, 13. A fit elderly man with a pointy nose and long white hair and beard wearing a red t-shirt that says “SEX” in large white letters, 14. A very creepy image of one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles staring luridly.

I started reading Arcade the Comics Revue issue no. 1 from 1975 edited by Bill Griffith and Art Spiegelman and likely known for contributions from Robert Crumb. On the final page is Victor Moscoso's “Mystic Comics Part 1” which has a character that I found […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

A very cartoonishly stylized old open top car with big, squishy white tires and headlights designed to look like large eyes in a dynamic pose balancing on its right, front tire. A tall woman in a long, topless gown wearing a tall Egyptian-style hat is stabbing what appear to be two snakes into the hood of the car. No, it does not make sense.

Benny the Cab from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, shown sitting up on his back tired.

PANEL 1: To the left is a cartoon car being driven by a butterfly with the body of a naked woman. To the right is a large, purple anthropomorphic dinosaur talking to a woman wearing a round, pink hat and a dress with a yellow bodice and orange shoulders and skirt, with the aforementioned Egyptian topless woman approaching. In the center is the title which reads: “Mystic Comics Part 1”. Another butterfly flies behind Dinosaurs head.
PANEL 2, LEFT: The car pulls closer and the butterfly woman stands up in the car with arms raised. Meanwhile, the Egyptian woman, who can now be seen to have something spiraling up her arms, is now to the left of the Dinosaur and the Pink Hat lady is to his right. Dinosaur is frantically looking between the two woman.
PANEL 2, RIGHT: Butterfly woman flies away to talk to the other butterfly as the car stands on its left, rear tire. Dinosaur and Pink Hat move away talking while Egyptian woman, who has removed the spirals from her arms, lifts her arms and prepares to strike the car. The spirals could be snakes.
PANEL 3: Egyptian woman strikes Cars hood in two long arcs, lightning strikes illustrating the impact. Car, now standing on its front, right tire and the woman exclaim loudly. Dinosaur and Pink Hat continue to chat in the background.
NOTES: The speech bubbles are blank and there is no clear narrative to the cartoon.
