Winston Rowntree is the author of Subnormality, the popular webcomic which he describes as containing "weird characters, endless opinions and occasionally huge walls of text."

In this installment of his weekly Cracked comic Abnormality, Mr. Rowntree gives us yet another reason we don't want to get old...



Check out past updates, in which Winston illustrated Every Album Ever and The Circle of Life for Jocks and Nerds or weeks before when he showed you How To Win At Panhandling and How NOT to Get Revenge on Your Ex.



Clever. I liked this one the best of all of Rowntree's comics.

Not bad, I'm loving how the kid is half-melted in the first panel.

Slim:
I looked up obdurate, and it means what I thought it means. I still don't find this funny. Of course, you weren't talking about me when you made your comment, but still.

You know what the best bit is? Those who are obdurate don't even bother to read a dictionary to find out what it means...instead they would rather type "ARTICLEFAIL LOLn00b"...

English is my first and ony langauge and I don't get it either. This clown is just not f*****g funny. At least it wasn't the usual hairy armpit feminazi supporting bullshit he usually does. Out of all the "Abnormality" strips I've read (about 4 of them, each linked by Cracked WITHOUT mentioning that it's Abnormality" Only one of them has made me make a sound that even remotely resembles a half hearted guffaw, and that noise was actually caused by me choking on a peanut M&M.

YOU DON'T TELL CRACKED WHAT TO DO. Cracked plays by its own rules, not yours.

man, the thing I hate is that I used to know to only click the links in the Cracked RSS feed that are numbered list, as everything else (the Swaim columns, the net_work videos, etc) is just unfunny. but now, anything could be a Rowntree comic, and I need to make sure I see them all... hey, Cracked, from now on put the prefics [ROWNTREE] before all the titles of his comics in the RSS feed.

How embarrassing. I had to look up a word in a Cracked comic. So much for college.
