M. R. SellarsHamster Month Continues on Brainpan Leakage…
Image Copyright © M. R. Sellars – Phyllis had a son who happened to be an extremely cool kid. He’s probably all grown up now – in fact, chronologically, he most certainly is, because back then he was about the same age as my own offspring is now. At any rate, he and some friends from school had formed themselves a band, and called themselves “NERPH”. The truth is, they really couldn’t play the instruments all that well, and none of them had any real musical experience, but they beat and strummed anyway, while singing parodies of popular songs. As I am given to understand, the lyrics captioned in the picture were a parody of a Pearl Jam song titled Animal. Their version – which also became the name of their fictional debut album – was titled, Urinal. The sum of the lyrics that were ever relayed to me are for the most part depicted above. “I’m like a bomb, I gotta lit fuse, I gotta pee…”
I later found out that Phyllis’s son was ecstatic over this particular toon and kept a copy of it tacked on his wall for quite some time. I’m sure he’s forgotten about it now, but hey, it still exists and it entertained him at the time.
More to come…

Glad you like him! There’s only one more left, unfortunately… I guess when I have some free time I need to see if I can still draw. 🙂

Yeah, afraid so… I really wish I had copies of all of the panels I drew on the dry erase board. Many of them told an ongoing story – sometimes inside jokes, true, but there were plenty that would have had mass appeal. Once I’m off deadline maybe I’ll give a go at reviving Merp. 🙂

I’m sure you’ll find plenty of fodder in your email as a backdrop for the now grown-up Merp, who is no longer a tech hamster but is writing the greatest hamsterian horror novel series of all time…

ROFL!
Merp got his tech on this afternoon… He had to dig his old tool bag out of the basement and take a soldering iron hold of a 2 GIG thumb drive to effect a repair, lest some needed data be forever “just out of reach”…
