Here is possibly one of the most freakish ideas that I have ever seen committed to paper. Someone I know was trying to come up with an idea for a comic strip, so I made some sarcastic and (at least I thought) funny comments. He fashioned those comments into what you see here in this message:

Panel 1

(Sidebar/Box/Whatever): Stanley is a raindrop over the Adriatic Sea.

(Stanley): Hi, I'm Stanley the Raindrop!

Panel 2

(Stanley): I don't wan't to be in the sea.

Panel 3

The Devil appears in a poof of smoke.

[My note: It is impossible to convey the full humor of this. In the illustration, Satan looked so cute and lost that I could not stop laughing for hours afterward. His face practically screamed, "Please love me! I only want to be loved!"]

(The Devil): You won't have to be in the sea if you sell me your soul.

(Stanley): Mmmmm...OK.

Panel 4

(The Devil): Would you like fries with that?

(Stanley): Please.

(The Devil): Curly or homestyle?

(Stanley): Homestyle.

Panel 5

The Devil is gone.

(Stanley): It's getting hot in here, but these fries are sure good!

Panel 6

Stanley is now just two dotted eyes and a mouth.

(Stanley): I've almost evaporated, but at least I'm not in the ocean.

THE END

That's it. Rather disturbing? I should think so. Feel free to tell me that my friends are only good for spare parts. :-P
