Introducing: DreadWhimsy!

filed under: Stuff to laugh at

Crackerjack playwright, walking good hair day and long time friend of Procrastinet Ross Maxwell has started a blog called DreadWhimsy. He captions pictures with his characteristic fractured, funny, often deeply depressing narratives. To wit:

From the introduction, entitled "What is DreadWhimsy, pray tell?":

DreadWhimsy is the deadpan comedy of the absurdly foreboding. It's the street clown caught in a terrorist attack screaming "Jesus Christ! Somebody DO something!" It's walking in on your cat chopping vegetables with a sharp knife in your kitchen in the middle of the night. It's the unwholesome stare from a red-headed child in a passing station wagon. It's whatever fills you with apprehension while involuntarily making you laugh.

It shouldn't be funny. But it is funny. And you're wrong for laughing. But I forgive you. But not really.

Enjoy.
