I'M YELLING AT YOU. Now I'm not.

TWO Whitney and Ryan conversations!

Conversation One

Whitney:  You’re just jealous because Conan O’Brien is my emergency contact and you’re not!

Ryan: What???

Whitney:  He helps me get out of trees.

Conversation Two

Whitney: ...and then I force them, using threats of violence, to...to...
I forgot what I was talking about."

Ryan: Blanket ice skating*.

*Blanket ice skating is when you throw a blanket on the wood floor, and then you slide around on it.  Whitney happens to be a blanket skating prodigy, but everyone no one recognizes her skills.  They also don't recognize Blanket Ice Skating as something at which one can be a prodigy.  Mothers appreciate blanket ice skating and will say, “I guess my annual mopping has been done for me.”  Blanket ice skating makes you a hero.

ACTUAL STORY
This week...a deer pooped at me.  I know you’re thinking, “I'm hungry Whitney, that’s not a thing,“ but it is a thing.  You rush to the window, hoping to have one of those moments when you gently lean your head against the window, stare out into the world thinking about candy art, lift your head off of the window, wipe off that little mark that your face left from your face grease, and walk away feeling content, but also knowing you need to wash your face...but NO.

I’ve actually illustrated it for you.  You're welcome.  I've also named each picture something very artsy stupid.

Confrontation
Confusion
Fear and Contemplation
Confusion on the Other Side
"I'm Gonna Poop"
The Visual

And so ends a very short post about the one topic I swore to myself that I would never write about: poop.

PS  TINA FEY I AM ON TO YOU!  You stole both my discotheque joke AND the one about how anyone who says "this thing we call life" should be beaten.  I know you're reading this blog.  You owe me some money friendship!!!!!

  2. I saw this sign in a park in Japan. It appears that in Japan, deer pooping at people (and yelling at them in Japanese) is a frequent problem

  3. @Stacey- I appreciate your forwardness, but even if I didn't, there is apparently nothing I can do about it. And I like that.

    @Well this is awkward- SO FUNNY. I had no idea that the deer were like...conspiring against us.

  4. I am really glad you wrote about poop. I also really want to hear about the time Conan O'Brien helped you get out of a tree. this should be illustrated.

  6. I feel like I just watched a season finale cliffhanger of my favorite TV show.

    WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WITH THE DEER?!

  8. I guess I'll have to add a part two...because the pooping deer went and got all of his deer friends and they starting lining the perimeter of my house...waiting to attack. It's some crazy stuff.

  9. Dude....shotgun and a smoker and make yourself some venison jerky....mmmmm....so delicious!

    And using CoCo as an emergency contact is totally practical. Besides, he's a way better friend than Tina...who seems to be stealing your stuff....what a B.

  10. Just when you think deer can only be majestic/noble. Turns out they appreciate poop jokes, too.

  13. @Healthylife is easy- I am actually an advocate for eating poorly and getting really old.

    Sorry.

  14. My favorite is clearly "Confusion on the other side." Deep.

    Especially if you consider the pooing a metaphor. I'm not sure for what, yet. Maybe life. Things are always a mataphor for life.

  15. @Lor- you are most likely right. Just like deer sometimes poop at us, life will sometimes poop at us causing to cock our head to both sides and then be utterly terrified. Awesome.

  16. The deer imagery was great. I will never forget the time that I had to stop my car so fast when a deer jumped out in front of me on the highway that the deer ended up doing the splits and when he got up he hit my car then ran off.

  17. I love blanket ice skating! I believe I won an award or two during my "good years!"

    I love your illustrations. In such a situation I assume there would be confusion on all sides.

    ReplyDelete
  18. O wow! I would never want to write about getting pooped on by a deer either! I think you handled the situation better than I because I would've wanted to kill that deer!

    Anyway just stopping by!

  21. Whit. I wish you would finish school so you can post fulltime. Boy deer poop stinks. How do you ice skate on the carpet? I tried and the blanket just rolls up into wads and I trip.

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Mooner- It has to be a wood floor, or yes, it will wad.

    Every other day I debate quitting school to blog.

  32. @unladylikebehavior- AWESOME. I'm glad they made you laugh. They took probably 4 or 5 hours. That sounds like a lot, but drawing on a computer is really hard!
