Hello ComicWonders!

It’s a busy week here at Comic Wonder and apparently many of you were inspired by the recently happening by the world’s #1 golfer. Not Happy Gilmore, a real life golfer.

We were flooded with jokes that made light of the recent happening of Tiger Woods. If you missed the news, Tiger self destructed. He crashed his car at the end of his own driveway and the dominos keep falling. That pretty much sums it up. Don’t bother doing a web search unless you have about 2 weeks to read up on the continuing developments. He’s now in a trap even he can’t hit out of. His sweet stroke is no longer appropriate to talk about. Get the drift?

It is with that note that we deliver a short and sweet Comic Wonder of the Week treat called “Tiger Update” by Tilt. It’s one that you can throw out while saddling up to the bar this weekend.

That might also be a great venue to work out you submission for our 1st annual Comic Wonder Holiday Joke Challenge. ‘Tis the season to spend money you don’t have on impractical gifts for relatives (include the gift reciept) in an attempt to buy yourself another year on their will. If uncle Larry kicks the bucket in January, you might just be inheriting money. Especially if you get him that fishing pole/ universal TV remote combo. Be sure to include the 8 D batteries it needs too.

Since we’re all in the giving spirit, be sure to share your best holiday themed jokes with us. First and second place will get some serious cash and a place in the Comic Wonder International Archives, located just outside the Earth’s orbit. We’re not braggin, it’s just that we inherited an abandoned satellite from our Uncle Frank who kicked the bucket last year. We sent him a subscription to the jelly of the month club last holiday so we were top of mind when it came to revisign his will. He also left us a VHS player. I guess we’ll get a chance to re watch the Ernest movies again! We know the tough economy has put the pinch on the budget so feel free to give the gift of laughter on us. Another great way to save money this holiday, re-use your “Happy Birthday” wrapping paper on Christmas gifts and just write-in “Jesus.” Now that’s clever!

ComicWonders of the Week: Clarence Press and Johnny Mac

Hello ComicWonders!

We must first appologize for the delay in announcing a couple of very well-deserved awards. We didn’t intentially forget about naming a winning joke for the Thanksgiving holiday. To be honest, we didn’t know that there was a Friday after Thanksgiving. For years we celebrate with a big Turkey feast hera at the Comic Wonder compound and then go to sleep for a bout 48-62 hours. Due to an error in online shopping, only one cornish game hen was ordered for our feast and that only fed about 3 staffers’ kids. The lack of tryptophan limited our ability to justify several days of hibernation.

Fortunately the egg nog did arrive and we added our special sauce. Booze, look for it next time you’re out. It really punches up just about any beverage. Thanks to the booze-nog we were able to sleep for for a couple days without accomplishing anything. Fortunately we are awake now and it’s time to play catch up.

During the Thanksgiving holiday we were treated to a genuinely charming and funny joke by Clarence Press. He’s our Comic Wonder of the Week past for his joke called “The Blonde with the Long Password.”

It’s a new week and we’ve just got done listening to some gut busting submissions. It wasn’t an easy decision but in the end we all loved the well crafted and perfectly told joke called “I forgot our anniversary again this year” by the poetic gester known as Johnny Mac.

It’s also a great joke that could be repurposed in theme of a Christmas gift so you could take a listen and make it your own. What a perfect sequence to talk about our Comic Wonder Holiday Joke Challenge! You have until December 31st to submit your funniest jokes and the winner will walk away with $200 bucks!

In tough economic times like these where unemployment is skyrocketing and most companies asking staffers to take pay cuts, you could value that $200 dollar prize at approximately $3,800 in value. See dealer for details, OAC, not available in stores and any other disclaimer needed to keep us from beign sued.
