Shoe Fish

Click for larger. This is from a comic strip I abandoned long ago. Oh man, it was ridiculous. See, this hillbilly catches a shoe while fishing. Annoyed, he throws the shoe back into the water. We then see that the shoe is actually a well-camouflaged fish. Poor hillbilly. Later, the hillbilly loses a shoe. In a eureka moment he heads back to his fishing spot hoping to catch another shoe. But this time he catches a fish. He angrily throws it back. This time the fish is actually a living shoe disguised as a fish.

I initially thought it was a good idea for a comic. Then I thought it was so bad it was good. Finally, I realized it was so bad it went past good and back to bad again.

I think that would have been a great premise. Oh well....

Maybe so. I really didn't know how to go about drawing a shoe-fish and a fish-shoe, though. And a living shoe? Well, I guess it wouldn't be the first time a cartoon had a living inanimate object.
