My last article about Tumblr humor a few weeks ago managed to garner a pretty positive response, so I decided to do another one. A few weeks on the popular blogging platform netted me some pretty good posts about a variety of topics including:
1. The Double Standard Surrounding Black and White Names
2. A Pretty Decent Thesis Statement
3. Star Wars Trivia
4. Celebrities and Their Sometimes Questionable Modeling
(The Game of Thrones twist no one saw coming)
5. Commentary About Comics
6. Commentary About Fanfiction
...Both of the previous two are fair criticisms, honestly.
7. A Really Good Writing Prompt
8. A Revisionist Take on "Frankenstein"
This comic just gets better the longer one looks at it. There's:
- the steadfast refusal to call Frankenstein (who dropped out of undergrad by the way!) "Doctor"
- Frankenstein is being represented by Igor, while Frankenstein's monster is being represented by the Wolfman
- the victorious Frankenstein's monster accidentally punching the lycanthropy out of Wolfman in his exuberance
- The Wolfman's little "I'm cured" in the last panel
- Poor Igor being hurled out a window
It's a work of art.
9. A Brief Definition for Dadaism
and finally...
10. One User's Adventures in Cooking
It's hard being an adult, isn't it? Good thing we have the internet to cope.
