TMM Comic - Dealing with People Who Spoil Movies

If you've read my Don't Spoil the Movie! WWWP article then you are well aware of how much I hate when people spoil movies. Just because you saw a movie and I didn't doesn't mean you have a right or an obligation to reveal certain plot points that will ruin any and all surprises.

As great as my article is, there's no denying that sometimes a picture is indeed worth a thousand words. And why try to come up with 1000 words to express my frustration when I can quickly draw a few stick figures and then brag about how its charm resides in its juvenility (yes, it's a real word, look it up)?

Please note that all the characters in this cartoon are professionals who are well-versed in the art of stick figure dark comedy. Please do not attempt this at home. Or at the theater.

TMM Comic - Dealing with Annoying Cell Phone Users

One thing that the majority of intelligent moviegoers can agree on is that people who use their cell phones during a movie deserve any beatdown that they might receive. For an in-depth look at how to deal with these selfish jerks please read my old What's Wrong With People article Cell Phones + Quiet Theater = Don't Mix. An article well ahead of its time, if I do say so myself.

In addition to that perceptive piece of literary pugilism, I'd like to demonstrate, via the medium of crude art, another way to deal with these pariahs. And by "crude" I mean "lacking gloss," so get your minds out of the gutter. Pervs.

One of the great things about TMM is its to-a-fault lack of pretense. So keep that in mind as you enjoy the fruit of my pencil...
