A Culture Kills Comics experiment

Last week, I was visiting Popped Culture where there was an entry about a little movement (spurred on by a New Yorker-based experiment) that you could replace the punchline of a comic with the phrase "Christ, What an asshole" and it would still work.

I thought it would be interesting to see if I could randomly pick some of my own comics and see if the principle works.

After:


Before:
comic14

After:
comic14a


Before:
Bravado

After:
comic86a


Well, for an unscientific poll, those aren't bad results. Granted, not every comic punch line can so easily be substituted. Hard to believe there was actually a time when I could write occasionally funny comics.
