          @whoistheleader I don't get it at all. Granted, I don't get majority of his art.

            @musashi66 I didn't get it at first. Look more closely at the guy in the car. He's a vampire!

                @musashi66 Vampire drooling over the woman with the long neck. He's so distracted that he's about to hit that taxi.

                  @pos_camaro Check my other comment - since when do vampires have fangs on the bottom?

                    @musashi66 I guess, but instead of looking at a woman in a short skirt or whatever he's looking at a woman with a long neck. Not normally what you'd associate with a distraction, but the net effect is the same as he's about to hit the taxi.

                        @ibrad As I said, I just don't understand his "humor" or whatever he is going for here. Super exaggerated long neck, and then a "vampire" that isn't even drawn they way it should be, in an intersection that doesn't make it really clear that he is running the light because he is distracted as the traffic light has no shading on the red light portion of it. I think I should just not click in FSF posts.

                          @musashi66 It's just like a horny guy having a wreck because he's rubbernecking at a leggy blond in a short dress, except that what is attractive to him is a neck that goes all the way down, baby.

                          Said neck is exaggerated for greater comedic effect.

                            @ramblinrover I understand that, but the "vampire" has fangs growing up from his jaw. You really have to see what you want to see to make this funny.

                              @musashi66 Well, he does have an opera cape on. Which, again, suffers a little from execution, but you don't really have to guess the guy's a vampire.

                              I wrote on one of the last FSF posts that what makes Gary succeed most of the time where his imitators fail is that the joke "executes" more quickly, and that adding extra details or beating the joke to death with lots of words or whatever is what sabotages the humor. If the mind gets halfway to making the strip "make sense", then realizes it doesn't make sense, that is a source of humor. If the strip never "makes sense" in the first place or takes too long...

                              I guess this strip fails for some people due to having a couple of errors that make "hurdles" that make the joke complete itself more slowly - and thus, not funny. At least for some.

                              I think it's great, though.

                                Nice play on the old cultural meme. The look in the cab driver’s face is a nice finishing touch.

                                  @chariotoflove I thought saying "a neck that goes all the way down" in my explanation to Musashi was a funny way to explain it, but I admit thinking a thing I said was funny is partly ego.

                                    That ego is the difference between a comedian and just a guy with an inscrutable smirk on his face.
