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…

The trophy handoff

Kris presents the big trophy!

 

 

Trophy detail

 (Trophy detail)

Discount Engraving Corp comes through again!  How do they keep their prices so low?!

 

 

big check

The ‘Big Check’!

 

 

 Eager to cash it

Eager to cash in on his Comic Wonder booty, 1anero heads to the ‘Big Check Cashing Store’

 

 

Why the confusion?

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 my manager

I’d better get the manager

 

 

That’s your manager?

That’s the manager?

 

 

seriously? the guy with the eye patch?

…Seriously? The guy with the eye patch manages the check cashing store?

That is the most appropriate thing I’ve ever heard of.

 

 

waiting

I’m pretty flush, so I guess I can wait around a while while they discuss how big my check is.

 

 

very impressed bystander

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”

 

 

I guess while we’re waiting, I can endorse it

Might as well endorse it while we’re waiting

 

 

How am I going to fit the damn thing through there anyway?

Is this even going to fit in here?

 

 

no way

 What!?? It’s just like cash! What are you talking about?

 

 

get out

 There’s the door Comic Wonder!

 

 

dejected

Seriously bummed best joke-teller in the world.

 

 

useless!

This check isn’t even worth the massive amount of paper it’s printed on!

 

 

kill the messenger

 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.

 

last laugh

Who’s laughing now!

(answer: 1anero)

 

vanishes like a ghost

 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,

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
