Am I the only one who finds Joaquin Phoenix’s name inherently funny? My uncertainty on this matter has delayed this strip’s publication until now. If you do find Joaquin’s name funny enough to provide the sole punch line in a comic, then this strip is for you.

Apologies to the greater majority of the rest of humanity for which the above may not be the case.
this strip is for me.
by the way, if you copy an image’s location (say for example, one of your strips), and then repost the image elsewhere, is that called hotlinking? And is that a bad thing, because I’ve heard a bit about it on the interwebs lately.
Until recently, my Mum would mis-prounounce/mis-remembere the actors name. She used to think it was ‘Wan-Kin’ Phoenix, which sounds a bit rude.
In my house, we still pronounce it “Leaf”.
hehe..hippys
jo-QUINN PHO-in-EX
This just made me laugh because my dad’s name is Derrick.
Wait.. are you saying that it’s a funny name????? 😉
Am I the only one who found the pun in the last sentence?
Let me point it out:
“If you do find Joaquin’s name funny enough to provide the *sole* punch line in a comic, then this strip is for you.”
Har har!
[…] Phoenix.” Still funny. addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fe-merl.com%2F2009-02-25-ga-boom’; addthis_title = ‘Ga-Boom%21’; […]
No, it’s not funny, but it’s ok to push things sometimes. The rest of the comics are funny enough to make up for a glitch like this.
You know what the fish’s name SHOULD’VE been?
Slim Shady.
Oh, because phoenix is a bird! Heh, why….why I think I like that. I think like that very much. Also, Joaquin backwards spells fish and clearly these fish are not in a stable mental state or they are “Backwards.”
