Backyard BBQ Brawl
Posted October 2, 2015 at 11:05 am

Like weddings, funerals sometimes bring out the "best" in us. I think we all have awkward stories about relatives or friends getting way too drunk at one of these events. Everybody grieves in their own way. And apparently, some of us grieve by acting a fool!

MOUSE OVER

Pork and punches!

 

PANEL 1

Kathy’s lawyer talks with the family.

Because Aunt Kathy didn’t leave a good and proper will, the state assigned Kathy’s lawyer to figure out how to distribute her wealth. Apparently she had a lawyer.

 

PANEL 2

Family members yelling at each others with ribs and drinks.

ANNIE (Caption)

Well, the lawyer passed the buck onto the family to figure it out. So here we have this big ol’ backyard barbecue with a bunch of people who can’t stand each other when they’re sober, let alone stone cold drunk, arguing over who should get what share of Kathy’s money.

 

PANEL 3

Family members turning their backs on each other.

ANNIE (Caption)

It was a shit show. Lot of nasty things that couldn’t be unsaid came out. In the end, the lawyer decided that Kathy would want the money to go to good use so he donated it to her favorite charity. Everyone blamed everyone else. Parts of the family still don’t talk to each other.

 

PANEL 4

About a week later, I got a package from Aunt Kathy. It was her Colt Single Action Army. It was the only thing that she left to anyone. I wear it in my act sometimes. And sad to say, I’ve scared off a few drunk assholes with it.

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
