I'm having trouble coming up with a good comic. I've got a few scripts written up, but I'm not in love with them, so they're on the back burner for now.So what I'd like from you (if you are willing) is to just throw out specific but usual things that happen in life and/or banal conversation starters. Standard generic tropes are ok too, as well as awkward situations.I don't need jokes or anything. This is more or less like somebody yelling out "bowling alley!" at an improve show.Some examples of what I'm talking about...

-Trust falls

- good cop, bad cop

-"I'll do anything for this job"

- it's toasty in here

- everybody goes around on the first day of a class to tell something interesting about themselves

Good cop, bad cop, worse cop.

Animals behaving badly. Nature gone wild, but only when no one is looking The 7 habits of highly ineffective people. Hell, but for mildly bad people.

Having a real case of the mondays

Mariah Carey interacting with Clippy

I like the 7 habits.... Might be tricky to fit into a comic though. I'm not a big list style comic guy

Neil Kohney

that's perfect. And I'd never come up with it, because people don't ask me that, presumably because they figure the answer is 12-19 lbs

Neil Kohney

I don't know if that's a usual thing that happens, but I really hope it is

Neil Kohney

I like that. a little abstract, but might work

Ben Bussey

me too - what would mariah carey do to cause clippy to say “do you need assistance?” - ?!

Neil Kohney

solid, but not really normal things. Or maybe they are to you, in which case, god bless lol

If candy corn was sentient and trying to convince people not to eat them which is why so many don't like candy corn.

"divide and conquer" (how people get the meaning wrong is my pet peeve, but i'm a classicist, so guess i'll die)

1. Trying to organize any meetup through online tools. 2. Dealing with really bad drivers, especially in parking lots. 3. Prices on menus no longer matching the price they charge you. 4. Robocalls and/or constant phone notifications. 5. New popular growing “sports” like pickle ball or disc golf

The vital element of films and plays produced by dogs is the smell-o-vision (they can’t see that well anyway).

Thanks everybody for the help! I’ve got a few more rough outlines, and a comic based on hell for mildly bad people in a very VERY roundabout way. It’s a few steps away from it now, but it got me there! Should be posting it later today
