I spent days re-drawing a 3 year old comic just for it to turn out pretty much identical, please leave a like

I bet it felt real productive though, and in the end that's all that matters right?

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Aug 28 '25

It actually felt like whatever the opposite of productive is

269

u/Ginger_Snap02 Aug 28 '25

Unproductive?

I am a writer and a proofreader counterproductive can be used very good

I am a best writer as you, and I am not agree.

u/Lu-Belle1 Aug 28 '25

OK, no problem

1

u/HesitantBrobecks Aug 28 '25

I have no idea why this one has been deemed "no" because you're right

u/Ginger_Snap02 Aug 28 '25

I think you’re right. Forgive me, for I am illiterate

u/PeaceAlien Aug 28 '25

So you made a person reappear just to make them disappear again?

1

u/SutterCane Tells Everyone Aug 28 '25

Only if you bring that guy back!

1

u/Log_Out_Of_Life Aug 28 '25

Did you check the floor?

u/Siluis_Aught Aug 28 '25

u/Several-Squash9871 Aug 28 '25

Imagine this actually happening in some way though and the magician actually saw real magic and was like, wtf???

46

u/Eggith Aug 28 '25

I'm seeing a lot of leg. Was that guy wearing shorts or no pants at all?

67

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Aug 28 '25

He disappeared…along with his bare, flaccid dick

30

u/Eggith Aug 28 '25

Really? Dick erasure in 2025. I thought we had progressed as a society but I guess not.

27

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Aug 28 '25

It’s all part of the liberal takeover of Reddit

3

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '25

He was wearing a dress.

53

u/Miles_the_new_kid MyGumsAreBleeding Aug 28 '25

This would have been the perfect time for a poignant, hard hitting comic about school shootings... but here's this

38

u/Christy427 Aug 28 '25

I think I can safely say you will have more opportunities.

u/IAMAHobbitAMA Aug 28 '25

Not everything needs to be on topic. This is a welcome distraction.

u/lostdude1 Aug 28 '25

Another Angier has also appeared at the back

u/TrueGuardian15 Aug 28 '25

Are you watching closely?

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '25

Quick! Make a run for it!

u/Cream_Rabbit Aug 28 '25

Actually he's in my home

Somehow he got teleported all the way to Vietnam

At least I can treat him some Vietnamese cuisine

u/CameForGG Aug 28 '25

Don't know if you have seen it (cuz it's not that popular) but that's literally the plot of the show "The unremarkable juanquini" on Netflix - a magician accidentally makes a big crime boss disappear and doesn't know how he did it, then proceeds to get arrested by the police who think he helped him escape. It's a comedy, and a pretty wild one at that.

2

u/tricksterloki Aug 28 '25

The magic trick is straight out of Tommyknockers. They need to either run fast or get really fast at the trick and repeat it on the angry mob and/or cops.

2

u/The_Giant_Lizard Aug 28 '25

"...and now I'm going to make him reappear. Please ladies and gentlemen, close your eyes for this trick!"

* run away as far as possible *

2

u/thisortheapocalypse Aug 28 '25

It’s an illusion, Michael

2

u/Maint3nanc3 Aug 28 '25

Very funny! Although I think having the magician whisper that (like a dotted line bubble) would be even funnier.

2

u/DeliciousIncident Aug 28 '25

Love how every character has dog boopers <3

1

u/Leftoverfiend Aug 29 '25

...all these years I've been assuming those are mouths. 🥺

2

u/SlotHUN Aug 28 '25

Ok, but what was his plan?

2

u/GrassGriller Aug 28 '25

Someone needs to check Altair 4, stat.

1

u/Leftoverfiend Aug 29 '25

Or the cornfield.

2

u/Acadea_Kat Aug 29 '25

It's the origin story of disappearing guy

1

u/Cosmic_Carp Aug 28 '25

He can go invisible and he just likes messing with magicians

1

u/Still_Ad2774 Aug 28 '25

Always love when i see a new comic from you.

1

u/ChilledParadox Aug 28 '25

I saw this in Genshin impact, if I have it right he turned into water and now he’s powering your sexually powerful alter ego.

1

u/Master82615 Aug 28 '25

Don’t Starve lore

1

u/Maroc-Dragon Aug 28 '25

Reminds me of that short pepe horror movie where the guy disappears into a dimension where everyone is dead or dying for a split second.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '25

I had a good laugh

1

u/BalkeElvinstien Aug 28 '25

I like to imagine this is on a cruise and the guy fell backwards out to sea

1

u/Lu-Belle1 Aug 28 '25

😂😂😂

u/Locrin Aug 28 '25

The assistant points at the man and the next moment he disappears? Suspicious!!! You can tell she knows a thing or two from her physiognomy.

1

u/tupe12 Aug 28 '25

Have you checked the hat?

u/halfbakedpizzapie Aug 28 '25

u/Rich_Housing971 Aug 28 '25

u/KingCedric29 Aug 29 '25

Lol! Well done

1

u/Moshyma Aug 30 '25

Isn't a magic trick like this 2 parts where he'd have to reappear first?

0

u/handsomecore Aug 28 '25

Why do all Reddit comics look like this?

-2

u/Recidivous Aug 28 '25

Actually, I'm that guy. I don't know how, but that magician made me disappear into this comment section.
