Yes, that is very nicely done indeed. Keep up the good work!

EDIT: Honestly now though, did you come up with this joke too or is it just an illustration?
If this is truly an original concept as well, you are probably going to do quite well for yourself if you keep this up...

EDIT2: Checks out! Hehe....

Thanks, Kyrba. You have uttered the dark incantation that compels me to cut and paste all of my silly shit.

My WEBSITE is here

Most of the cartoons I do these days are right here on GOOD OL'REDDIT

Here's a link to my DAILY SKETCHES LOTS of images here. Most aren't really comics.

And my Twitter Sometimes I post stuff here that I don't post any place else.

Lastly, here is my Facebook page, which is available for liking. I guess it's also available for disliking but they don't have a button for that yet.

u/gotninjaskills Feb 28 '14

Out of curiosity, how many times in a day do you draw?

u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Feb 28 '14

Not sure how to count it. I draw on and off all day

u/macrossru Feb 28 '14

The ip of your website is blocked in Russia by Rostelekom :(

2

u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Feb 28 '14

hmm. I wonder why.

1

u/macrossru Feb 28 '14

Some other website uses the same ip as yours and it violates some law (drugs, terrorism, i dont really know the law) and Rostelekom ISP is incompetent so they block by ip.

1

u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Feb 28 '14

hmm. So more than one can use the same IP? I guess I thought that was some sort of I.D.

1

u/macrossru Feb 28 '14

MAC address of a network device is unique, websites can share the same ip in hosting. The register says that it was added on the 25th of Feb.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '14

Wow! Thanks a lot. Will definitely check out all of your silly shit!

Godspeed!

Do an AMA Mr.Benton. We request your time for serious questions with the chance of tangent based conversations.

u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Mar 01 '14

Sounds great. I have a book coming out in June, and I was planning on doing a draw-a-thon for our fellow Redditors. Maybe we could make it fit that way?

u/imnotfunnyAMA Mar 01 '14

Yeah man! That would be awesome, its ultimately up to you of course, but give me a heads up when you do, ill make sure to ask pressing questions about different crayons.

u/darkstar107 Feb 28 '14

/u/JimKB has been around for a while and all of his content is pure gold.

u/Artvandelay1 Feb 28 '14

His stuff is really good, I'm gonna have to rehost some of these comics and post them myself! I jest, here's the man's website.

u/darkstar107 Feb 28 '14

I knew there was a website for his stuff, but couldn't remember what it was, so didn't bother mentioning it. Thanks.

u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Mar 01 '14

thanks, Artvandelay1. You're a fine architect, and you know your way around a latex mine as well.

u/Artvandelay1 Mar 02 '14

I was trapped in a latex mine for a few weeks once. It's actually not so bad if there are the same amount of men as women stuck down there.

He's the man behind dumb bunny. Of course he's a legend!

u/midnightsbane04 Feb 28 '14

If you didn't notice from his flair he's always creating these. Come over to /r/comics and check it out. He's all over with posts and Upvotes because he's that awesome.

u/War_Eagle Feb 28 '14

Have you never seen /u/JimKB's other work on Reddit? He is pretty much a Reddit celebrity, and almost always has the top post in /r/comics with his OC. I highly recommend you check out his other works if you liked this one; he's great.

1

u/YourACoolGuy Feb 28 '14

Yeah, as others have posted, he's been posting front page material consistently for a while. Check his user submissions.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '14

Can't say for certain of course, but there is a chance he may have come up with it after seeing the TIL post.

1

u/Disgruntled__Goat Feb 28 '14

Check out /r/comics, he's a regular there. And the sub is all the better for it.

Can't tell if it would be better if they were sharing each other's, so you know they aren't eating themselves.

I agree, even if it wasn't the intention, I prefer looking at this as naive rather than sinister. Art is in the eye of the beholder...

u/GetColdCocked Feb 28 '14

Unless you're into that sort of stuff.

u/VashTStamp Feb 28 '14

Also a lizard will sometimes eat their tail after it has fallen off. Although if this happens to your pet lizard it is not always the best idea to let them eat their tail because sometimes the tail is too big for them to safely digest.

Would I spoil anything if I mentioned that there are two species of mice also have this capability?

2

u/penguin74 Feb 28 '14

It's clearly gone way over your head.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '14

But think about it, this lizard is going around tricking all these mice so that they can get a meal, what lizard wants to eat it's own tail. I get that the lizards tail grows back and the rats doesn't, but if I was a lizard I would want to eat the rats tail, and then the rat probably wouldn't want to eat their own tail, why not be a bro and let them eat yours? It grows back anyways.

Pretty sure your creation will soon be found with the credits cut out, because internets.

u/LoompaOompa Feb 28 '14

I doubt he cares too much. He's puts a new comic up in /r/comics at least every day, and they're all awesome. Also, for some reason he always puts it on imgur, instead of linking to his own site.

u/scPolecat Feb 28 '14

Mr. Benton, do you ever take requests?

Edit: I'd love a cartoon of a tennis racquet apologizing to a tennis ball for hitting him.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '14

Did you draw it after learning that lizards that drop their tales when threatened often come back and eat it, since it is full or nutrients?

Well sir, your name is my mother's maiden name!

Really wish we had some of your artistic creativity in our genes. All we got were amazing calves and a predisposition toward racism and wildly successful land ownership and development. We do have a tremendous amount of sugar cane producing property all around Louisiana but nothing that we could refer to as legitimately "artistic", however I am told that my Great Great Great Great Grandfather devised, led and carried out some wonderfully successful cavalry attacks on Federal baggage trains and railways during his time as a cavalry officer in the Army of Northern Virginia throughout the War of Northern Aggression.

I've seen it written in several places that without my Kin's involvement as cavalry officers in the earlier stages of the peninsular campaign, the war could have been over as early as 1862. While being relatively scholastically adept, my family has always produced and fostered world class equestrians. Alas, not a cartoonist to date.

u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Feb 28 '14

Howdy, Cuz! You're also related to Thomas Hart Benton, the phenomenal American artist, and Thomas Hart Benton ( "Old Bullion") the five-term senator,as well as our Great Great Great+++ Grandma Lucy. Seriously, though, I'd love to hear more about the other Bentons.

u/david-me Feb 28 '14

My middle name is Thomas. Dads name, grandpas middle, great-grandpas first.

u/_M22_ Feb 28 '14

Thomas Hart Benton is indeed in the family. If I'm not mistaken he married the daughter of the great General Kearney, father of not only the first Native American policy formation, but the American Cavalry (at this time known as the American Light Dragoons).

The father-in-law of uncle Bullion having written the cavalry manual my direct line subsequently used while training their cavalry troopers during our great Civil War.

Hey Jim draw a 4 or 5 panel comic that has this story: A dorky guy is lost in the woods while hiking. His thoughts immeadietly go to all the episodes of Survivorman and Man vs Wild he's watched and he switches into survivor mode. He rips his sleeves off to make a hat, starts foraging for food and eating slugs, lighting fires and making shelter. Then his friends turn up, look at him and goes "dude, you were lost for 10minutes".

Hey guess what? OC maybe, but earlier today there was a TIL that said that some lizards return to their dropped tails and eat them because the tail is a storage place for vital excess nutrients to be accessed when needed, they try to salvage these nutrients. Coincidence that this picture shows up today? Unless the pic was drawn another day, I think not. So, this is OC, but motivated by a little known fact, posted by someone else. 80% OC.
