Winky
Cidu Bill on Oct 12th 2009
Elyrest sent in this week’s Arlo Award winner. Did Scott Nickel really think the syndicate editors would allow a strip about the Hulk’s winky?
I mean they did, clearly, but still…

This is so blatant, it’s almost worth retiring the Arlo… But that wouldn’t be any fun.

Hulk also have oddly-placed nipples. They should be on the outer edge of the pecs, not the inner edge.

I thought this comic was web-only? I have a subscription to it via mycomicspage, and while generally the jokes are merely ‘gross’, it does routinely have very risque and ‘dirty’ content that you would never see in a paper. Today’s ‘winky’ joke wasn’t any worse than many others I’ve seen.
September 25th. Two vampires, one with enormous boobs and a low-cut dress saying “I’m a dude.” Caption: “Friday Night in Transylvania”
September 23rd. Two dogs. One says “I ate something weird and green and pooped it out.” The other says “That was YOUR poo? De-lish!”
September 9. Scientist looking at a table full of jars with yellow liquid. Caption: “One fine day in the urine testing lab.” Scientist is thinking “Dang, where did I put my apple juice?”
September 2. Two pigs. One is saying to the other, “I’m in trouble. Wife caught me with some pornhography.”
August 6. Man holding a dollar bill. Caption: Money talks. Money is saying “I can’t believe where that stripper put me!”
July 27th. Caption: “Harry Potter at Puberty.” Scene: Harry and Dumbledore. DD is saying “Harry, you’ve been playing with your wand too much.”
June 30. Blind date, cute woman and a guy who is just a green head in a jar. Jarhead guy is saying “You’re not what I was expecting either. I hoped you’d have a bigger rack.”
And June 19th. Dracula and some kind of Igor-like assistant. Both looking down to Dracula’s (offpanel) nether regions. Assistant is saying “Apparently your most recent victim was taking Viagra. If it lasts longer than four hours, call a doctor.”
Anyway, I actually don’t know for sure if Eek! is a web-only comic, but given its content (zombies, monsters, decapitated heads, brains in jars) and frequent use of pee and poop jokes, and the occasional sexual innuendo, I always just assumed it was.

Oh I just had to add two more.
June 2. Dr Frankenstein, Igor, and his monster, who has really, really ginormous boobies. He’s saying “Is this some kind of joke?” and the Dr replies “I’m a lonely, lonely mad scientist.”
June 3. Psychiatrist office, head in a jar is on the couch. Psychiatrist is saying “Why do you think your sex life is unsatisfying?”

May 22. Guy and sheep. Caption, “The Last Man on Earth.” Man says “Hi cutie” Sheep says “Uh-oh”.
April 17th. Mummy in a pharmacy. He’s asking the pharmacist, “Got anything for 3,000-year-old crotch rot?”
April 16th. Bunch of pirates. Looking at one pirate’s nether regions. Saying, “Interesting place for a hook.”
April 6th. Robot giving a bunch of flowers to a lady. Robot is saying “It’s true robots can’t love, but I have been programmed to enjoy a quickie.”
Anyway, I think I’ve proven my point… whether it’s web-only or not, it’s par for the course.

“Banner?” Banners can be HUGE! Bit enough to drag behind airplanes over Disney World!
Maybe he meant “Nanner? as in “Banana?” Bananas can be HUGE!
relatively speaking.

Banner is surname

Obviously a case of steroid abuse.

Heather, my method of getting comics from GOCOMICS (aka UCOMICS aka UCLICK) only
allows me to go back one month. You’re quoting some very old comics.
Can you get older ones? Can you tell me how?

I think a winky with the size of a Bruce Banner would be enormous, even for the Hulk.
Elliott Oct 13th 2009 at 08:17 am 11
oh, now I get it.
thanks.
meh.

The Winkies were the people who lived in the Western part of Oz. I don’t remember Baum making any reference to their size, so [Bruce] Banner-size sounds like it’s probably normal for a Winkie.

Wee Willie Winkie …

This could be a reference to the 2001 version of “Bedazzled”

I have a draft horse named Banner in my back yard, so that’s the first thing I thought of. Hulk would have no reason to complain.

Arthur, I just clicked on the “previous” arrow for the individual comic, and it kept taking me back and back and back. I know I`ve looked at other comics going way back too.
Do you have a free subscription or a paid? I have the paid subscription… perhaps that opens up back catalogs not available to free subscribers?
Elyrest Oct 13th 2009 at 02:18 pm 17
Heather D - I don’t really think that there was a point to prove. I thought the Hulk talking about his winky was quite a bit beyond innuendos about sex and boobs. That’s all.

Heather, thanks for the update. I have no account, free or paid. With my browser
settings, I can’t even use a free account. I’ll make do with what I can do. But,
now that I’ve discovered this strip, I think I’ll add it to my daily set.

Is it me, or does the woman look slightly dismayed at this news?
Todd Oct 14th 2009 at 03:22 pm 20
“Slightly dismayed”? She looks positively horrified. That’s the look I’d expect from her if she found out Bruce Banner had a Hulk-sized winky.
