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 shows us four modern mythical creatures ...



Check out past updates, in which Winston showed you The Truth Behind Obnoxious Assholes with 4 Pie Charts, Bono as a Superhero, Why Marriage Is Evil, The Mineral States of Man and Every Album Ever or weeks before when he showed you The Circle of Life for Jocks and Nerds, How To Win At Panhandling and How NOT to Get Revenge on Your Ex.



three of the four were just made to use space...one of them has a moral...can YOU guess which one???

Well, I like to think of myself at least as a somewhat pleasant nerd with self-esteem- so I've got a shot, I guess.

I used to be #3 but then I dumped the nerd.

I also like how a webcomic artist is making fun of nerds.

Hey, I only just now noticed the "unpleasant" qualifier in the third panel. NOW I get what's supposed to be funny about it.

I still want an "Owlman Of Kinko's" T-shirt. Or keychain. Anything Owlman related really, he just looks so damn awesome.

Hey btw, i just looked at this again, about 10 hours later, and in panel 2 it has mothman of kinkos. i get the mothman, but whats the joke part about kinkos? is there a reference i was missing there?its possible that i'm too dumb to see the glaringly obvious.

I saw panel 3 coming as soon as I read the title. But what about a beautiful, strong-willed pigfoot who falls in love with an unpleasant nerd with no self respect?

Smartaleck - it's a combination of the hoopsnake, snipe, jackalope and chupacabras.

It's funny because it's true

I consider myself to be one of the above, at least.

No one has said anything about the first panel. It looks like a wreath rolling down a hill. And the name is weird.

Yeah. It's not like you wear oversized jackets everyday. Right?

Right?

I am puzzled at how many people are offended by the character portrayed in panel 3. I count myself as a nerd, too, but I certainly don't find hateful misfits any more tolerable or identifiable than the next guy does. It's not a slam against me unless I *make* it a slam against me.

Whatever happened to Hudd & Dini, or Sagebrush?

Speaking of which, one of the guys I'm thinking of wears a 'I Hate the Bands You Like,' T-shirt all the time. Heehee.

Actually, I see #3 happening all the time, but it's usually short-lived as nerd blows up any little problem in a relationship in order to wallow in self pity until she breaks up with his intolerable ass and he's vindicated in the knowledge that 'no decent woman would ever want him.'

I like the Owlman too. Winston should start doing an Owlman comic.
