Well, it’s that time again and we sent a representative of team Comic Wonder out to award the Comic Wonder of the Year trophy to the best joke-teller of 2008. This year’s winner is no other than 1anero, who hails from the windy city, which is where we caught up with him…
Kris presents the big trophy!
(Trophy detail)
Discount Engraving Corp comes through again! How do they keep their prices so low?!
The ‘Big Check’!
Eager to cash in on his Comic Wonder booty, 1anero heads to the ‘Big Check Cashing Store’
her: “We’ve never had a check this big before!”
1anero: “$2500 is a lot, but that’s the biggest you’ve ever gotten?”
I’d better get the manager
That’s the manager?
…Seriously? The guy with the eye patch manages the check cashing store?
That is the most appropriate thing I’ve ever heard of.
I’m pretty flush, so I guess I can wait around a while while they discuss how big my check is.
This guy is VERY impressed too.
impressed guy: “Who’s the comic?”
1anero: “me”
impressed guy: “You must be pretty funny with a check THAT big.”
1anero: “You have no idea”
Might as well endorse it while we’re waiting
Is this even going to fit in here?
What!?? It’s just like cash! What are you talking about?
There’s the door Comic Wonder!
Seriously bummed best joke-teller in the world.
This check isn’t even worth the massive amount of paper it’s printed on!
This is the part of the story that I warned you about in the headline.
Comedy turns to rage as 1anero opens up a 55-gallon drum of Whoop A$$ on the messenger.
This is also the hard lesson that I talked about in the headline. Big checks aren’t real. They’re for photo ops, because people look really stupid shaking hands and holding a really tiny check. You cash the tiny check. I feel bad that I didn’t mention that to Kris before he left.
Who’s laughing now!
(answer: 1anero)
So, we got these photos in the mail and nobody’s heard from 1anero since. If you happen to live in Chicago and see him, please drop us an email or call the authorities.
Incidentally, we’re hiring a new … whatever Kris did.

Wow!! What a Story!! I can’t believe it happened in Chicago of all places! Crime in Chicago?? Also, 1anero better be careful, I’m sure the manager at the check cashing place will be keeping an eye out for him from now on!! Too funny!!. I’m going to miss Kriss.(hey that rhymed) Oh well, maybe they’ll hire some great looking blonde air head to replace him….Just a thought. Enjoyed the pics and the read. Congrats again to 1anero,

well the saga continues ..I funnybone just happened to be in Chicago the same day on the same street .. and i found Kris lying there and after a round of CPR..i dialed 911 on my cellphone, and rode with kris’s lifeless carcass to chicago general hospital.. i donated 2 pints of my own blood and I am happy to say that Kris is alive.. in ICU but alive (the doc said he is brain dead) ..but we allready knew that ..lol
congratulations 1anero…wtg man
It’s true. I couldn’t have survived without Funnybone!
Dammit Funnybone, the best laid plans are ruined by good Samaritans. How is Kris going to learn to stop passing enormous bad checks around if everytime someone teaches him a lesson by strangeling the life out of him, someone else comes along and heroically restores him to life? To everyone else out there: the next time you see Kris laying lifeless in the gutter,(and trust me, you will) just leave him there, your not doing him any favors
p.s. I still like you anyway Funnybone

Funnybone’s quick thinking may have saved Kris from certain demise. His ‘carcass’ has been moved from the hospital to an undisclosed location in the Nepal, where we will be attempting the world’s first personality transplant. Kris’ entire personality and life memories will be transferred from his permanently lifeless body into that of a young, healthy mountain goat. We will keep you posted as the process progresses.
At least he will still smell like Kris, and make about as much sense
wow- what a range of emotions. when i first realized i had not one i was full of rage. then, the big cheque made me giggle. then the pirate made me envious. then i masterbated (unrelated to this post). finally, i wanted to offer my congrats to 1anero. CHEERS!
