Photoshop Pictures

Every so often a stumbler will come across a arsenal of photoshoped pictures of the same original picture. The photoshoped versions can include the main character doing almost anything imaginable; usually its a baby or a child but can be made with adults. A very funny example of this is what some artists did with Peter Crouch, a liverpool football player:







What i find that is very funny about this type of comedy is the fact that the main character is in a possition so wierd that its almost as if he asked to be photoshoped and put in rediculous situations. Of course in this case and in most other cases the original picture is just captured in a very unfortunate moment. I belive that this type of comedy is very funny for the viewer since it 100% visual and can be appreciated with quickness. Some more examples of Mr.Crouch are bellow:

Photo Comics

A sort of revolutionary internet comic type that is very popular these days is the photo comic. This is a type of comic that consists of a series of pictures usually of a person and a blackboard. The blackboard has funny lines or some drawings in it and the person is usually doing a expression or pointing somewhere in the picture. The most famous one that stumple upon knows and frequently comes up is a photoblog called surviving the world. This is a blog that a student in college has started and keeps in order to get more for college.







What i like about this type of comic; specifically about this surviving the world comic is that it tends to teach interesting life lessons in a funny way. I also like it because it is usually symple and does not require much reading. Which constrasts to some normal comic stips that have tons of lines and are not even funny by the time you finish reading. Here are some more examples:
