Argh! Dying's easy, comedy is hard! (Sat Jul 29 07:20:53 2000 )



Breakdown of the JOKE!

There's a double pun on the word right! The 
scar's on the right side of the face, when it's 
normally on the left. So, saying it's should be 
in the right side, it equally means the correct 
and the right side.  

As for the statement on the whole, it was a play 
on the attitude that when you get to that level, 
it should be perfect. (Um, eight hundred dollars 
is a lot! I also think the cel though is 
beautiful and perfect!)For example, people use 
the littlest excuse to knock down the price of 
comic books, from a small knick on the corner to 
a bend along the side. Hey, if someone was 
offering me a $100 cel of Misato from Evangelion, 
I'd buy it, even if she had an eye in the middle 
of her forehead. 
It wasn't meant as a criticism as a cel. The 
whole thing wasn't meant to hurt the reputation 
of Usagi House, which I thought had an 
impregnable reputation. 

Of course having to explain a joke like this, it 
doesn't sound funny. 

Of course reading it like the way it was 
presented, it's easy to get the wrong impression. 
If I met you at a convention, and muttered this 
with a smile and a laugh, would you have slammed 
the cel book on me and started chasing me around 
the dealer's tables cursing me and my decendents? 
or would you have a short laugh along with me? I 
hope it would be the second.
    
So, if the justice of heaven must rain down on 
someone, please let it rain down on me as opposed 
to anyone else who got involved in the 
discussion. Actually, I think she's mostly angry 
at me because it was written under my joke. 

So to reiterate : I was trying to be funny. 
Apologies to everyone. I'll practice comedy in 
the safety of my home.
