WTF. just WTF.

 

Someone is taking Six Zero's comic strips and drawing something with a similar style...there's just one...addition..to the characters..

Perhaps the author of this new strip came up with the idea independently of The Blockhams, and if we alert him to the similarity he'll just ignore it?

Personally, I think The Blockhams...WITH DICKS! better parodies the extreme nonexcitingness* of the original blockham strip.

 

The Cockhams would be giving too much credit to the original.

 

*-Not that I'm a jerk or anything**.  Six zero does some good work for this site. 

 

** OK, that didn't make me not a jerk.  It's not nice of me to call a labor of love unexciting.

"Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me.... Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world. What about that kid, sitting down, opening a book right now in a branch of the local library and finding pictures of pee-pees and wee-wees in The Cat in the Hat and The Five Chinese Brothers. Doesn't he deserve better?"

I looked at them, and my legal analysis would be that they would not qualify as "fair use" in the slightest. The title of the strip tells you the extent of the changes to 90% of them. Occasionally a word in a speech bubble has also been changed to dick or cock, but that's about it.

However, I have to admit that I have not laughed so hard in a long time. I mean, it is funny for no good reason whatsoever.

Blockhams with Dicks is brillant!  It takes an uncomfortable truth (the suppressed homosexuality of football) and sheds a light on it in a comical way.

Having said that, I can understand why people here are a little annoyed with it because it does poke fun at us, Michigan fans in particular.  If it poked fun at a generic team or perhaps a more universally despised team (I don't know who that would be...maybe Dallas Cowboys?) then I doubt anybody here would be objecting to it (except maybe the legit closet cases).

Been off the grid, just found out and haven't got to see all this.  Whoever's behind it, thanks for the publicity, I guess??

Oh, and Butterfield, it's not you, it's me.  No wait, it's totally you.

I am but a simple man. A man who loves The Blockhams and a man who is comitted to improving The Blockhams. A man who knows that dicks make everything better. Or something like that.

Sadly, @theblockhams has blocked me and continues to threaten the dicks. But fear not, fans of Blockhams With Dicks, for the dicks shall not be silenced. VIVA THE DICKS!!
