I genuinely don’t understand how these comics drew so much hate. They don’t have to be exactly inline with your particular sense of humor for you to acknowledge that they are stylistically consistent and rendered in a way that reads very easily. Just because I don’t get all knee-slappy about puns doesn’t mean I don’t get a smile out of it. How is this polarizing...are we really taking sides based on our senses of humor now?
@kubaner: @kubaner: Kudos for referencing the original artwork for T1 @Tajlucas I am thrilled that your content is making its way onto pinkbike. You'll always be the GOAT in my books !
PInkbike - a world with such insufferable things as H.A to steep, S.A to slack or lo and behold a man riding with two different size wheels! If you can't have a little laugh and appreciate someone's talent without mocking them you are quite certainly... A WASTE OF GROCERIES!
Yep, I'm 42 and growing up, Taj was the shit in BMX.. Amazing guy and a super talented artist. He belongs on pink bike but this needs some tweaking. Because i'm 42, I'm not into the "everything is awesome" movement.
Hey Fox - you pay the guy, I'll buy a couple suspension spork T shirts, you can donate the profits - NICA? Betcha you could sell a thousand . . . tomorrow
@Taj Mihilech Keep it up. Light hearted and fun to read! Enjoyed following you for many years in BMX and it's cool to follow you again with these comics.
I realise criticism of humour is a terrible thing, and utterly pointless and futile, but is anyone out there genuinely laughing at this? Im not sure if the joke here is the terrible punning but these are so obvious as to be undoing themselves. There's some milage in grim ironic dad jokes but these don't seem to hit even that low mark. Sorry Taj. See you in the below threshold section.
@fartymarty: yep. this is just good simple humour. @nickkk: holy f*ck boy, you're trying to analyse these way too much. Get your head out of your arse and go outside and enjoy the sun... Vitamin D
Sheep getting the wind knocked out of it by a high speed hydraulically activated fence(I'll bet it said "ooooooffff") ....ah come on, that's right up there with seeing someone getting slapped in the balls
I liked these way more than the pun threads under almost every post, those are genuinely terrible in my mind and yet pinkbikers seem to love that shit.
The best part is. This guy hated mountain bikes. Because all bmx’ers hated mountain bikes. Now he’s old. His wrists probably hurt so much while he’s drawing these. And now he rides a mountain bike. Sure it’s kind of funny.
@G-A-R-Y: just because the guy is awesome doesn't make this any less painful to read. These are horrible "jokes" especially when 90% of them are plays on dropper posts its loke reading the same joke ten times just reworded. I wouldn't laugh if Daved Chappelle said the same thing a bunch of times and I'm not laughing here.
MTBer Dads: Laughing
Although I think the compression would be more important as i’d just use my mouth to extend it.
someone negged my post.
