Well, today I ventured out into the great outdoors. Yes, I am talking about my backyard, or should I say my personal jungle. My backyard is mainly grass. There is one tree and a few bushes. As it turns out, when not properly maintained after a month or two the grass can grow tall enough to swallow a small child. Anyway, I finally took the time to mow the grass and clean up the yard. I have to say it felt nice to be outside, which can be a rare occurrence this time of year with the unbearably hot weather.
My point? Get outside and watch your children around tall grass.
Let me start by saying that I am not a big fan of negativity. That is why I do my best to keep everything on Polar Opposites light hearted and positive. Occasionally I’ll even sprinkle in just a tiny bit of humor. So today’s blog post is intended to put a positive spin on a negative subject. You guessed it, I’m talking about hatred, pure undying, blood curdling hatred. Which is surprisingly easy to achieve. All that is required of you in ordered to make others loath your entire existence is to simply drive the speed limit. This will evoke utter distain and disgust in even a complete stranger.
I myself tend to follow speed limits and for that I am stabbed by a multitude of death dealing eye daggers when I’m on the road. I guess all I can do is apologize for being a law abiding citizen striving to make the roads safer, while at the same time keeping my family and I safe. How could I be so inconsiderate?
There is one small new feature on the site. In an effort to add to the Polar Opposites Comic fan base of beautiful and heroic people, I have strategically placed a handy dandy little facebook badge just underneath the advertisement on the right. Now all you lucky facebook-e-teers have to do is simply click the like button under the badge to become a follower of Polar Opposites on facebook. Why, you ask? Well that’s simple. So that you can be cool without smoking cigarettes.
Today’s comic is inspired by what I’m calling the “Hatchling Effect”. Like in all those movies and cartoons where the baby hatches, or is born and is immediately drawn to the first person they come in contact with. Hence a lifelong bond is formed, or is it? If this were truly the way of life, wouldn’t there be a lot of doctors being tailgated by a train of crawling babies saying, “Momma, Momma, Momma.” Seeing as doctors are normally the first ones to have contact with a newborn baby. Although it does seem to have a greater effect on babies which hatch from an egg (for anyone is unsure, this excludes humans .)
I guess I will just have to raid the hen house and get an egg myself in order to truly test this “Hatchling Effect.” That is if I could fight the urge for a breakfast omelet.
