In the Ask Me Anything post, I talked about a few of my favorite comics, which were ones that I liked a lot and were also popular with readers. Here are a few other favorites of mine that weren't popular with most readers. (If you like any of these, you are in the minority!)

I always thought it would be funny if there were an upper class neighborhood, Sesame Heights, that was filled with snobby Muppets who looked down on Sesame Street.

"Bobby Biddle, World's Worst Country Singer" was partly inspired by this hilarious Bo Burnham bit about country singers who pander to their audiences. Bobby Biddle is the opposite. He sings authentically, but he can't connect with country music audiences.

The other two comics are just bad Dad jokes. I can admit that they're groaners. But I still like them and count them among my favorites.

And I love the Sesame Street one. You always crack me up.

The Sesame Street one is full on brilliant. I can totally imagine a whole spinoff. “Today we’ll be learning about poor people and the letters F and U”. 🤣

Scott Metzger

I think it would make a funny TV show. "Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Heights?" Yeah, drive up that hill until you get to the huge gate.

Jennifer Baker

That’s too bad. I love your work. I have a cat that climbs the curtains and another that practically lives on top of the fridge. Have you done a strip on those yet? My cat that climbs curtains is a grey bobtail named Bob that is a mischievous little thing. One of my smallest cats too.

I thought the two "Dad Jokes" were wonderful! Sea-harmony - that's brilliant.

I've done a comic about cats climbing curtains but not one about sitting on the fridge. I should do a comic about that because I have two fridge sitters.

Mark Norris

Proud to be in the minority. 😁👍

"Sesame Heights", weekdays on PBS, followed by "The Hydroelectric Supplier..."

I’ve seen a big dog fridge sitter so don’t rule Dobby out!

Sarah Glesmann

Ok I'm a nerd because all of these are HILARIOUS!! Sesame Heights is a gem and I really want to name my drink Mr. Foamy next time I order coffee!! 🤣😝😁

Wendy S. Katz

I'm happily in the minority! "Mr. Foamy" made me chortle out loud.

Scott Metzger

If you like them all, you’re in the super minority!

Debs

Happy to join the Metzger Minority! Love. Them. All

Nancy DeStadio

Count me in the minority as well 100%

Laurie Stoker

Hey, as long as you like them ... 😂

Karen Jagielo

I absolutely love the snobby muppets!! Lol! And, the last one (mr. Foamy) totally sounds like something I would say! 🤣 (which is why I stay out of Starbucks-they make me nervous 😬)

My favorite is seaharmony.com. I love the way you put cats and dogs into human settings like restaurants and coffee shops, but I don’t remember you ever doing the same thing under water. The fish waiter with the beer is fantastic.
