The Problem with Hector's Ingenious Ad Campaign - The Remonstrance comic for 2009-03-09. Word of the day: animadversion
<< First   < Older   Newer >   Latest >>
Panel 1
Probo Drosophilus: Hector, we've been receiving harsh animadversions from our retailers. You've created a totally disgusting ad campaign!
Hector: But Mr. Drosophilus I did the best I could!

Panel 2
Hector: How else could I market a video game called Turd Burglar?
Narration: We see a video game ad depicting a burglar holding a fork, watching a toilet hungrily. "Now at Lo-Mart: Live vicariously as the ever hungry burglar! Graphics! Unreal Engines! 16 bit sound! Modem!"

Panel 3
Probo Drosophilus: What?! Our game is called Cat Burglar, and it has nothing to do with eating feces! Have you even played the game? Were you on drugs when I gave you this assignment?!
Action: Hector looks miserable and guilty.

Panel 4
Action: Zoom in to an impressionistic head shot of Hector, a tear dripping down his somber face. The background is dark and murky.

Panel 5
Action: Zoom out to the full vignette: Hector, the tear still dripping down his expressionless face, hangs from the ceiling by a noose around his neck. He has obviously committed suicide in his daughter's bedroom. Celeste snoozes peacefully in the background.
