The Blue View by BoxJam B. Boxjam


Hey Everyone and Your Mother!

Hey everyone and your mother – fuck you!

Why can't I offend you?

I wish I could piss people off. I've had kids playing crucifixion, had God say that every religion was wrong – I even said that God hates Danes – and nothin'. I made fun of addiction. I've made every Canadian joke there is – damned Canucks are too easy going, I guess. I just don't seem to be able to set people off.

Smurf Passover! Offended yet?

Why not?

Recently, I implied that God creates us and then abandons us, and all I got were comments about God's infomercial sweater.

BoxJam has counseled his daughter that he uses beer to get him through tough times. Hey people – that's crappy parenting – and crappy parenting is offensive!

One of the most popular gags I've ever done is BoxJam hating the orange guy, mostly just for existing – has anybody ever stopped and thought about that for half a minute?

All the cool webtoonists seem to be able to piss people off – they've got their Jesus' peanut butter cups and their asshole terrorists aren't cowards and their frogs with erections and all kinds of cool stuff like that – I bet on a dare, Scott Kurtz could post a strip that would have us all seething in 4 hours – these guys have got it goin' on. I want to hang with them and toss back a couple beers and talk about how cool and misunderstood we are, – 'cause you know that's what they do at their secret cool webtoonist meetings – but I can't figure out what the fuck I've got to do to annoy somebody. Through my art, that is. I can't figure out how to annoy somebody through my art.

Hey, is anyone here from Australia? Next time, pay attention, and be pissed off!

Next month, I'm going to post a strip where I out-and-out say that everything you believe is wrong and laughable. I just want to belong.

Motherfuckers.

About: Boxjam is responsible for the webcomic BoxJam’s Doodle. He’s very lucky that his family will have him, and he spends lots of time assuring his wife that she is not the character in his comic. He’s read comic strips since he could read, has photo albums full of Peanuts strips he cut out of the paper as a child, and somewhere he has an autograph of Charles Schulz. He’s often the example people cite on both sides of the "does a comic strip need good art to be good?" debate.
