How a person looks can sometimes be considered a disability, even if such persons have no functional disabilities. That's because we live in a world where people are often treated and judged differently based on how they look. Usually this is sad and unfair, and unusual appearances can be the cause of so many ill-conceived jokes. Laughing at how people look must be used with extreme caution, as people's feelings can be hurt. Such is the case even with the character in this comic.
While browsing through a book that my wife checked out from the library, my friend Jay asked me, "What are you reading?"I replied, "It's called 'You Being Beautiful.'"
Jay chuckled as he said, "Heh, I hate to break it to you, but you'll need a lot more than a book for that."
Aside from my wife, Jay is the funniest person I know.
Longtime Silly Daddy readers may remember Jay from my 2004 graphic novel. In that epic story, he was minor character with a major impact. Jay is also the basis for one of the main characters in my upcoming science fiction novel. In that story, his name is JJ and he is even funnier than Jay is in real life.
Webcomic drawn by Joe Chiappetta 2009 on HP iPAQ Pocket PC running Windows Mobile, in Conduits Pocket Artist program--now that's beautiful!
