Odd similarity

Someone (oh what the hell, it was the Happysad girl) sent me this link:

Wow. I can’t compete with this… I mean, they’re animated… And they have ARMS!

Plugs

If you like Happysad, you’ll LOVE Matt ‘Simpsons’ Groening’s Love is Hell. Yes I know, I’m 23 (!) years late, but it’s still brilliant stuff and you should check it out if you can.

And a short message in Dutch to my Belgian viewers: de nieuwe single van de Fixkes is er weer eens boenk op.

That is all.

Free hugs in Leuven

Jeroen — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 20:11:30 +0000

Remember the wonderful Free Hugs campaign video?

This is a tribute filmed in Leuven, where I live. Now the question is: where was I at that moment??? Oh well. Virtual hugs to everyone visiting kartoen.be!

P.S. If you think hugging is lame, apparently you can also make me feel better by kicking my ass. Ain’t science amazing?

You can handle the truth

Just an observation… Since it was published only two weeks ago, my Happysad cartoon “Fundamental truth” got almost 9000 single views, making it probably the most popular one so far. Apparantly it really hit the nail on the head. Or should I say… through the heart?

My fantasy birthday party?

Jeroen — Thu, 24 May 2007 17:29:30 +0000

Joke (yes, that’s a real girl’s name in Dutch) created this wonderful collage for my birthday!

Cool huh? Actually, except for the explicit nudity, my real birthday party DID look pretty much like this. Quite a few people have commented that there were much more girls than guys. Pretty ones too!

Yeah, well… is it my fault that some of my best mates happen to be of the female sex? OK, it probably is. But that’s not the point. The point is… uhm… I must be “cuddly” or whatever.

O dear god.

Two quotes I like

Jeroen — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 17:42:03 +0000

“These men proved that John Donne was wrong: any man could be an island, entire of himself, if he had a drink in his hand and something to occupy his mind.”

- Mike Gayle, in Brand new friend, the book I’m currently reading.

“I know a couple that had a conversation almost exactly like this. They’re married now…”

- MMcF, on his StumbleUpon page, referring to this cartoon.

Teflon theory

Jeroen — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 17:48:58 +0000

Say, you know that tired old joke that goes “If nothing ever sticks to Teflon, how do they make Teflon stick to the pan?”
You most probably do, because for all these years it’s been the #1 in the “Haha very funny now fuck off”-category.
Well anyway, the fact remains that I’ve never heard a decent answer to that question (and no, I never use Google either, Einstein).

SoÂ IÂ wasÂ thinkingÂ aboutÂ itÂ inÂ theÂ carÂ today,Â andÂ thenÂ suddenlyÂ itÂ dawnedÂ onÂ me…

Yes, it is true that nothing sticks to Teflon. But is equally true that stuff can (and does) stick to pans. So what they basically do, instead of sticking the Teflon to the pan, they just stick the pan to the Teflon! Et voilÃ !

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Also, I think I don’t get enough sleep these days.

No milk today

Jeroen — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 13:21:01 +0000

Woops, it would appear I’ve forgotten to publish a Happysad cartoon for today. Don’t worry, they’ll be back tomorrow. Sorry if I caused any cold turkey!

Tainted love commercial

Jeroen — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 21:42:58 +0000

It’s not my intention to join the herd and start filling up my blog with links to YouTube-videos, but as a devoted 80s music junkie, I just cannot resist pointing you to this hilarious Levi’s commercial.

Tun-tun…

Lookalike?

Jeroen — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 17:56:55 +0000

Last night, a nice girl said I looked like Edward Norton.

I felt flattered. Edward Norton is the coolest actor on earth.

I also felt aÂ strong urge to beat someone up.
