  1. I just looked trhrough the comic strips in the newspaper. (about the
    only thing I read in it ) 😄

    And I saw a unicycling strip! But it wasnt very funny, and it related
    unicycels to the circus.

  9. I'm not going to claim that this is a great cartoon and the quality of
    the art as well as the presentation could be better. But it's not meant
    to be a laugh out loud bit, just amusing. And the idea of unicyclist
    pall bearers is amusing. Lighten up.

  10. I stopped reading the Sunday comics long ago because I started noticing
    the "humor" for the most part was aimed at a very wide audience,
    requiring a lot of compromises to fit that audience without offending
    anybody. In other words, most of the stuff was maybe a little cute, or a
    little funny, but not enough to be worth my time.

    I thought this one fit in fine. To the artist, as to many people
    depicting unicycles, the riders are only semi-human, and are thought of
    as "unicycle people." In this case, it's okay by me, because that's what
    I am.

    Sem and Teresa have done the equivalent with a wedding (in 1986 they
    were married with the entire wedding party, including officiant, on
    unicycles). Someday one of us may do what's pictured in that comic.

    (BTW it won't be me -- my instructions are to "cut out and donate the
    good parts, then burn the rest"😉

  11. I feel that they should make you laugh or there's no reason. It wasnt
    really funny at all it was just a little clever. At first I even thought
    it was three unicyclists riding on a rainy day with like a thing over
    them that I could not make out. It lacked the easy read that they should
    have too. Its like ok so he fell? then they are in the rain with a thing
    over them? what? oh well I'm a cridict.

  13. Looking at it again, it still seems sad, but I found myself chuckling
    inside once I realized that the humor was purposefully dry; very dry;
    very very dry.

  14. Ahhhhhh cmon guys, lighten up a bit. If anything i think its amusing
    that without knowing it the author has touched on 2 things all us
    unicyclists hold dear,
    1) the obsession we have for the one wheel contraption
    2) and the friendships we make with those who share this
    obsession, afterall this site is a symbol of the community we have
    become a part of.
    I think it is time for us to get over the whole people thinking we're in
    the circus, let them think what they want if it makes them happy.

    Sell? Okay. I leave it to my next of kin to figure that out. As also
    it's up to them what to do with the little container of ashes they get
    at the end of all that. Maybe hide them in the frame of some
    unsuspecting unicyclist...

  20. The first one is amusing and not really meant to be funny.

    The heaven one is funny, especially how they can't wait to hear how he
    died.

    It made me laugh...
