The same one, huh? I had never seen anything like it! It would have been a really thrilling experience if I didn't have a child in my arms who was having a complete and utter nervous breakdown.

Love the "no exit after show starts." And evil Dad grin--sometimes torturing the children is just plain fun.

Hmmm... I was actually trying to convey "blissfully ignorant of impending catastrophe." Maybe I should oughta fix that. Funny how a tiny thing can totally change the meaning of something, huh. :)

I wouldn't change a thing. The eyebrow is too close to the eye for blissfully ignorant, and I love a little mischief.

I agree with Jennifer. I didn't get an evil from that expression, just self-assurance that his daughter would not be scared.

Haha! Oy. Love the fourth-wall dialogue you gave yourself.



Hey, I was probably about your daughter's age when I went to see that bastion of kid-friendly entertainment, Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Things haven't changed THAT much -- they've just rearranged the deck chairs, so to speak.



You've gotta walk before you can run. And I suppose you have to see a Michael Bay movie before you do Jerry Bruckheimer -- and WAY before you do Tarantino!

Thanks a ton Jim. And thanks for commenting on the fourth-wall thing--that was the bit I was really nervous whether it would make sense, like can the reader detangle which part is in the reality of the story and what is the ironic commentary I'm adding in.



At the time this happened (last summer) she'd never seen a movie in the theaters--she was so sensitive to TV I never wanted to chance it. Then I walk her into this thing which was like Jerry Bruckheimer times a billion.



The other day I finally took her to her first proper movie; like you it was Disney, the Frog Prince thing. (Loved it of course.)

So...no dark forest full of killer trees in The Frog Prince? Dang! What ever happened to good old fashioned entertainment? ;-)

Wow. If that "You're obviously too young to realize..." philosophy doesn't continue to bite me in the ass on a near-weekly basis, still.



Awesome work, as usual.

You speak in ironic forth-wall hindsight commentary too? Oh thank Christ. I thought I was going crazy there for a second.

You imply a causality that just isn't there, Kobasic. What does one have to do with the other?

Nothing-- that was just me trying to make a stupid joke. :)



Thanks for commenting.

No, no--the epic fail was mine. I was trying for witty banter and didn't make it. Maybe I should have included a winky face to better indicate intent? ;)



To paraphrase Calvin: My life needs a Ctrl+Z feature. Sorry.

The mock-confrontational "Kobasic" should have tipped me off.
