In the immortal words of Bobby Hill, “Everybody LOVES a prop comedian”.
I have it on first hand knowledge that the Carrot Growers of America and the Fake Tan Association of North America both love Carrot Top. So I can only imagine that in real life, the Watermelon Growers of America probably love Gallagher. (*fingers crossed*) Above is a clip of Gallagher doing what he does best, but in slow motion. It really has to be seen to be believed. Annnnnnd if anyone is interested in a sneak peak at Arnold Schwarzenegger’s future Conan movie just skip ahead to the 1:50 mark. Needless to say, it’s pretty… uh… something.
So… here’s a funny story… which isn’t in the Bios section, but probably should be. Kennon and I have actually never met in “real” life. We live in different states on different ends of the country and we communicate mostly by instant messaging and e-mails.
Not one con?
Not one passing in airports?
Nope and nope. All these years working together and we still haven’t met. We’re great friends, but we still haven’t found a way to be in the same place at the same time. Not yet anyway. We’ve come close.
So yesterday Kennon and I were chatting in IM about today’s strip and we decided to share a little of what goes on behind the scenes:
John: It’s funny.
John: He had a heart attack.
John: And then he pulled through
John: And I wrote the strip
John: And the day I wrote it
John: He had another heart attack
John: And I thought “Whoa…. too soon…
John: But that was a while ago.
John: And he seems to be doing better now.
John: lol
Kennon: holy sh*t
Kennon: yeah, I read the strip and was like, “Gallagher’s dead?? wtf?”
Kennon: had to look it up
John: No no…. the Watermellon Growers of America haven’t succeeded ….
John …
John: …
John: yet….
Kennon: right
John: Wait.
John: He’s not dead, is he?
John:
John: *whew*
John: He’s still alive.
John: Okay we’re golden
Kennon: currently
John: (unless he dies tomorrow and then we’re screwed)
Kennon: that could change between now and tomorrow
John: I know I know
Kennon: exactly
John: *panicking*
John: Well f*ck it
*tearing up inside* awww such a heartwarming story that friendship doesn’t have to be bound by miles..so touching *still tearing up, could be because of the onion i’m slicing..sniff sniff*
Well, slice all the onions you want… we’re in love and we’re tired of hiding it! Actually, no. I suppose we can hide it a bit longer. Sure. Why not. And love… that’s kinda a strong word. I mean, what does that even mean. I love lots of things.
Yes! I love kitties and Chris Hemsworth
They go together like peas and carrots. Or like, you know, peas and one big, beautiful, hunky carrot.
which is the pea and which is the “hunk?” carrot?
The WGA is watching you two.
I don’t know why the idea of the WGA watching me is scarier than Google tracking my every move. Maybe I think Google is too big to get its hands dirty with murder. But the WGA… those guys are drunk with power. Well, power AND delicious watermelon.
