In the real world knowledge is power, and in the cartoon world, to a certain degree, that same principle holds true. But specific knowledge seems to win the day.
I spoke about my love of the English language, due to all the fun play, that is work, but seems more like play can be done with it. Puns are my favorite and Shakespeare called puns the “highest form of humor”. I think they are too…as long as I write them, but don’t you dare 🙂 Am sure you feel the same.
If puns are the golden egg of offbeat cartoons, multiple puns are the Fort Knox of cartooning. And if there is a way to get numerous word meanings in a cartoon using just a few words, you’ve done your job well.
This cartoon was my first experiment in multiple-punning. It worked to a certain degree, but due to our culture’s attention span, most viewers might have only caught a few of the puns, when there’s actually about 3 or so…I’m not sure…I think I missed a few too. 🙂
…..Amazon.com, Amazon Rainforest, and Forest Gump (coming down from the sky as if he’s rain). So maybe three 🙂
