Nudist Cartoons Coccozella Almost Used
It's Hard to be a Nude Comic
 | Some time ago we were approached by a cartoonist who offered to supply us with one cartoon per week, customized to our interests. I thought that might be a good idea and agreed to give it a try.
In the end it did not work out. We did not post them on our home page as we were going to. But I did pay for these cartoons and I thought you might all get a kick out of seeing them. The first few cartoons he sent me seemed to reflect an outsider's view of nudism and also focused on the voyeuristic aspect too much. I thought they could be much better with a bit of direction from us. But I also thought some of these frames could be "saved" by changing the caption. The one on the left did not really work for me so I suggested the following change. "Don't worry, the guys are out snorkling. We can be naked all we want." |
 | I do realize humor is very subjective. But if these cartoons don't work for me, what chance is there they will be right for the website?
I thought this cartoon was okay, but nudity in an office environment is not really what the site is about. The casual Friday idea is cute so I thought this one would be okay to keep as is. I did have the idea that we could have some cartoons about the coccozella office and staff since issues of working nude come up here, especially since I am often not wearing clothes and when new people come to work here some of them don't know quite what to make of it. |
 | This cartoon is kind of funny, but who takes their dog for a walk naked without getting arrested? So it doesn't relate to anything that actually happens to people. I thought there must be a better line that would work, maybe something relating to her flashing in a park... I don't know.
The cartoonist was not thrilled about all the changes I wanted to make, though to me this would just be a period of finding the right "voice" for the site cartoons. |
 | Here again, I did not like the "spying" angle. I thought it might work better for us if the "textile" boaters were forced to go to shore at a nude beach. I suggested:
"I'm really sorry but we've run out of gas and we'll have to swim to shore right here" |
 | Another cartoon about "casual friday"? I suggested: "I'm protesting against male domination in the work force." or how about... "As long as my boobs are smaller than your nose you can't say I have big boobs." |
 | Kind of funny, but not right for Coccozella at all. |
 | So I started to suggest ideas and worked on getting the cartoonist up to speed with our content.
This one is not bad but I think the caption is a mouthful. I think all you need is: "So did they like your boobs on Bourbon street, Honey?" |
 | I had suggested that there must be something funny in the way hords of guys with cameras surround girls at Nudes-a-Poppin. What he came up with is not bad. |
 | This was my idea, based, of course, on a real problem discussed at length on the message board. I don't think we need the "nude beach" sign. Do you? |
 | My idea. I would love it if we could have a cartoon like this every week. Perfectly on topic and also funny (in my opinion) |
 | I asked for a "Naked Bike Ride Day" cartoon where a cop ignores the fact that they are naked but arrests someone for not wearing a helmet. So this is not bad, except it should be a city street and signs should not say "beach" and "bike rentals". |
 | So here is the "Naked Bike Ride Day" cartoon. Hmmmm. |
 | Does anyone get this? I don't. Is he blushing and wants to pretend he's just sunburned? Is that funny? I thought maybe he could be saying: "I don't care if I'm getting a sunburn. I'm not moving from this spot." |
 | My idea. Again, based on a common fear of nude beach first-timers. This sort of thing is what would work I think. |
 | Not right for our site, I think. But it is usable in a pinch. |
 | Not bad. We only need the first sentence though. Too verbose. And we don't need the "nude beach" sign. |
 | Another variation on the beach-erection theme. Not bad, but the caption is too verbose. How about if she asks him:
"Why don't you let the dragon out of the dungeon?" Well, the cartoonist got cold feet with all my demands. Too bad. It could have been great. I think he was recycling these over many websites and I told him I was not keen on giving him ideas and then having him post them on other sites. I guess he was not really charging enough for exclusivity and working that way was not part of his program. I think he was trying to build up a collection he could sell over and over again. Nothing wrong with that. But not something I want to do. And what I was interested in doing, he was not. Too bad it took so much work to find out. I do wish him the best in his endevors. Any cartoonists out there who want to have some fun? -COCCO |
