Trust Fails

Enable images!

Something I've noticed when I draw my comics on cards and give them to people, is that they tend to be misread. I'm not sure how to fix that since many of my comics depend on clever wordplay, and if you're "lazy reading" then you're going to fill in the expected word instead of the similar but incorrect and therefore humorous word that makes the joke work. So focus on my artwork please! Or rather the text in my artwork. 

My husband Someone beta-read my comic and responded "yep, we have those at my work."

Did you know there's a bonus to my digital comics that my pen-and-paper ones don't have, and that is the mouseover? You can put your cursor over the comic and see some bonus text, usually a continuation of the joke in the comic but sometimes just a random thought I had - it's a tossup as to what you'll get there.

A: Alright, line up over here for the trust fails!
B: ...You mean trust falls, right?
C: I'm gonna skip this one.

Team Names: Beta

 

Beta, Marlin, Goldfish


Another list of team names! To explain, "beta" is used in tech to signify a new feature that isn't fully ready to the public - usually just released to a small set of users to get a feel for how it works and get feedback to make it ready for general release. The fish names were picked because Beta fish are loners (have to be in a tank by themselves and yes they can live in small quarters but no they should not, give them space), Marlins have pointy noses (i.e. sharp, cutting-edge), and Goldfish are known for their short memory span.

A: Would you like to join the Beta team?
B: I do like cutting-edge stuff.
A: Oh, that'd be the Marlin team. Beta is our solo projects. Goldfish is short-term projects.

Team Names: Mobile

Mobile, Birmingham, Montgomery

 ... We don't know what the Mobile team actually does. I realized as I'm scheduling this that I didn't explain what that team did, so I'm rolling with we just don't know.
To explain the pun, "Mobile" could be read as either "handheld computers and similar technology (i.e. Android/iOS)" or "a city in Alabama (i.e. Birmingham/Montgomery)". The other cities are all in Alabama, showing that the team names are just places in Alabama, not related to the technology handled by the teams.

A: Would you like to join the Mobile team?
B: I do like Android development.
A: Oh, that's handled by the Birmingham team. Montgomery is the iOS team.
