Britney Vs. Madonna
November 15th, 2008 by Tyler
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE CARTOON. For those of you unable to view “Hike Into Horror II”, the problem should be solved now… The seeds of this cartoon were planted back in 1998, the year that a young, virginal Miss Spears appeared on the music scene, and some of the critics started to whisper of “a new Madonna”. A good friend of mine, Adam, was ga-ga over this transparent tart, and he made me gnash my teeth and foam at the mouth as he began to switch alliances from Madonna. It was then that we made a bet: that in 10 years, Britney would not have the same career that Madonna had 10 years into her career, not only that, but I said she’d be a washed up has-been. I’m so smart…but in 2008, Adam refuses to pay up. In reality, I’m a huge folkie, and Thomas’ favourite album is also mine. What Myles used the CD for is also an opportunity to segue into an important issue for me - choosing the right CD with which to snort coke from. Because I hardly ever touch the stuff, I approach it with some awe, like you did a joint when you were 14, and I think there should be some pomp and ceremony around cutting up a line. It’s a self-important, ego-inflating drug, and the surface you snort it offa should reflect that. A Joni Mitchell CD or a plastic cutting board? Naw, y’gotta go with a black marble countertop, the cistern of a bathroom-stall toilet, Guns & Roses’ “Appetite For Destruction”, Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid”, or any Whitney Huston album. That last one kinda makes me think, maybe that’s how Britney’s descent into “Fat Elvis” mode started: the bad choice of snorting a line off of “Baby, One More Time”…
you and the coke….tsk* tsk* such a shame.
I’ve never been gay enough to associate with either musician myself.
spears does seem to exploit her “tragedy” a little too often and i didnt really like madonna’s latest album.
but if I were to put on a skirt I would totally flash my junk, I cant say i blame silly britney.
miles looks hilarious in the 4th panel. like a large-bosomed midget with no neck. shouldnt you have a better understanding of male anatomy by now? hmm?
My head hangs in shame and i am suitably reprimanded.
So now I,ve looked at loads of,em..do I get sumfink fer being a good boy?
summa the comments are priceless too, I must say!
I chuckled alot at the ad[september?].
And what happens to the hapless hikers? when does the sequel hit our screens? Enquiring minds want to know.
Can,t wait to see you!!!!!!!! We can discuss the subtleties and underlying sub-themes of your feverish little mind,s work.
Hey Caleb, Yer dead-on with mutated Myles in the 4th panel. I knew right away something had gone horribly wrong, but couldn’t figger out what - that’s exactly what he looks like. Henkl hasn’t had many storylines in ‘08, so I made sure to hand this story to one of the fellows that inspired him. A frown-crease furrowed his brow - he wasn’t liking the cartoon - but then he laughed delightedly like a happy elf at the last four panels. Handing it back to me, he said’”I didn’t know why the hell you were showing me this shit story, I was thinking,’What losers has he been hanging out with? If I was there, I’d beat Myles and Peter to death’, and there you go, I got m’wish”. It warmed the cockles of my heart to know I can see into Henkl’s seething, fuming one so well….
