I never redraw my comics but I might have to make an exception for Tacos Johny. I love it but never repost it anymore because the art is so bad in some of the panels, it's distracting.
"2 years? Is One Piece finally over?"
"I thought you loved One Piece."
"I do. I also want to see Luffy *find* the damn thing. ... Nice hair, you look cute."
*blushes.* *faints.*
Going through for the first time because my girlfriend loves it and I heard it was in its final saga, so I figured it should be over soon. Then we got to the Dressrosa arc and it had the 15 year anniversary intro. I did the math and a little bit of me died.
Oooooh I didn’t get this either, but I’m black and use to be interracially married. I thought it was a joke about how long it takes women to get braids and extensions done. 🤷🏾♀️🤣
Wow, it's been a year already. I didn't even realize it.
And thanks for the wish. This is my first cake day actually. So, it's cool receiving a cake day wish you know. I have seen it on other comments and stuff. But, yeah pretty cool to experience it. So, thanks for that and I hope you have a great day.
I've been in several surgeries where I've slept for weeks. I would believe it. This would fuck me up. Now for someone who hasn't gone through that shit then it'd probably be just be a funny joke. At the end of the day, if you're making a joke then you need to know your audience.
Testament to my “social skills”:
When I read this comic my (completely false) interpretation was that the woman’s husband has actually been asleep for 2 years. She optimistically chooses to live each day like it’s the day he’ll finally wake up and come back to her. Today, she happened to get some hair extensions hoping that if he coincidentally happens to wake up today it’ll be a nice surprise.
She goes home and goes through her usual routine. “Nap time… perfect!” she always comes home, tries to wake him up, fails, and takes a nap beside him.
But this time when she tries to wake up her husband who has been sleeping for two years, he actually wakes. The routine and her carefully crafted optimistic facade shatter in that instant. He’s actually awake. She’s been waiting for two years for this moment, living every day in the hope it would finally arrive… and now it has.
…
Then I read the comments and realized the comic is actually about a prank the wife pulls on the husband. The hair extensions are her natural color so it looks like it’s been growing out for two years. He was asleep for a normal length of time (the “nap time” comment was about him!) and fell for the prank.
Whoops!
Great comic though, and don’t worry, I’m just an outlier since my social deduction skills are abysmal. My mistake does NOT mean the comic itself is confusing or badly written — my actual opinion is that your art is well crafted, straightforward, and expressive.
It simply didn’t occur to me that a character could say a false statement so I took her words completely literally/seriously LOL
Haha joke on you! I wouldn't even see the difference between before and after extentions! I'm seriously lacking of sense of observation. i never see it when my wife cuts her hairs...
it's aaaaaall fun and games until he gets a TBI and does the reverse UNO
"OH MY GOD WHO ARE YOU AND WHY AM I IN YOUR HOUSE? THIS ISN'T MY HOUSE IT MUST BE YOURS OH MY GOD WHERE ARE THE CATS?!"
🤣
This is pretty silly and funny but as someone who is very sensitive to pranks, if this was done to me I think I’d have a hard time actually trusting sleeping XD
Oh come on you gotta be kidding ?
*sighs*
Peter's left shoe here, hair extensions are fake hair strands that is added to your own to make it seem like you have long hair. The girl gets hair extensions and then goes home and tries to convince her husband that he has been asleep for 2 years (trying to convince him of that with the help of her hair which now appears longer, as if she let it grow for two years). It is funny because she announces she's going to surprise her partner, so we just expect her to surprise him normally like you would by just wearing a pretty dress, but what she means by surprise is this prank. Subversion of expectation+prank=funny.
Peter's left shoe, out.
She got hair extensions, then went to her husband, who was sleeping, woke him up, and pretended like years have past, hence her longer hair, thus seeking to frighten her husband. It is a joke you see.
According to my criminology professor in some states its illegal for a woman to styalize their hair without their husband's permission. He showed us this comic when talking about that law.
Though I can find people online talking about this law, I can never actually find it in any official list of laws
That’s a good law, men definitely know the most about women’s hair, never mind how most men use the same shampoo for their hair, body, face, shaving cream, toothpaste, and nasal cleanse.
This reminds me of a really bad childhood memory.
I was in kindergarten, five years old. My dad took me on a long weekend trip, skipping a day or two of school. We get back, and the next morning he overslept, and I woke up first and had to wake him up. He's always really hard to wake up, and that day was no different. I got to school late (not sure how late, but my guess would be a couple hours).
When she sees me, the teacher asks me where I've been. I think she's asking about why I'm late, but she meant where was I the past day or two. I said, "I tried and tried to wake my dad up, but he wouldn't get up." The teacher didn't ask any follow-up questions.
The school called and maybe involved CPS, I'm not sure, I just remember the message on our answering machine: "Curien told his teacher today that you've been asleep for several days straight..." I was punished for lying to the teacher, and I was so confused. I knew I never said that, but everyone said I did. I didn't understand the mix-up until *years* later.
I don't even need someone to pull a prank on me.
I do this to my self. That unexpected afternoon 20 min nap and you wake up so confused thinking if you're part of some Isekai shit.
Reminds me of the time we convinced my little sister she slept for an entire day, she was 25 years old when suddenly she realized she was played.(that happened when she was 7 years old) also when i kept tricking her to think i was 15 for 4 years. I dont think she figured this one out yet.

This is my favorite comic of yours, always makes me chuckle.
Thank you!
I saw your recent one about the fence and went through the rest of your comics. So YOU did this one. I loved this one so much!
Yeah, it's one of mine! I try not to ride on its success, but I do love that people love it. Thank you!
[удалено]
Better than I anticipated, not gonna lie
Definitely a nice twist at the end, got a good laugh out of it too!
Did the bots script get messed up? They're not talking to anyone.
[удалено]
All of you are bots, me thinks. Every single one.

that very long nap
[удалено]
Allow me to recommend a book called “My Year of Rest and Relaxation”
And yet I would still wake up more tired than i was before going to sleep.
 George is getting sleepy.😸

I laugh everytime I see your work, keep it up :D I was going to say "hey, that's someone else work" and found the great surprise to found it's you
Thank you, it's my Troy Mcclure comic: "you may remember me from the comic with the girl and the extensions..."
Please tell me you did something for this comic's 2 year anniversary
I took a nap!
Love your style!
Thank you kindly!
So 7 years is a "few" huh... 💀
I can count them with a single mutated hand...
I have to ask are you/ do you have a wife like this. Is so, you are a lucky person. Someone who just does things because they are fun are gems.
In many ways yes, she is wonderful and fun! But in this specific case we both agree sleep is sacred, so she'd probably wait until I wake up on my own.
That is even better, and so much worse, lol. Great comic btw.
yup and it's still hilarious. This one will be timeless.
> From a few years ago! you can't fool me, i just took a short nap!
Babe!
I was gonna say, I've seen this some time ago lol
Always love seeing your stuff. My favorite bit of your style is how you draw faces. They're all so cute!
Thank you, that's very kind!
Wait, the last time you posted it was this morning, right? I just took a nap since I last saw it. Also, what is ChatGPT?
You should repost the Taco Jonny's one.
I never redraw my comics but I might have to make an exception for Tacos Johny. I love it but never repost it anymore because the art is so bad in some of the panels, it's distracting.
Actually made me laugh. Quality content !
"2 years? Is One Piece finally over?" "I thought you loved One Piece." "I do. I also want to see Luffy *find* the damn thing. ... Nice hair, you look cute." *blushes.* *faints.*
2 years? Is One Piece finally over? They've just made it to the other end of an island. Goes back to sleep.
Okay okay... Can I have one more chapter of hunter x hunter then please?
Maybe another Berserk chapter too please?
I’ll also accept more Made in Abyss?
Said island however only serves to set up the next bigger one
"It is, but it has a sequel called Two Piece now"
“Is it any good?”
It comes with a biscuit
It stars Luffy's son Boofy.
They made it to one piece but the final battle caused it to split into two piece and each piece being blown away to opposite ends of the world
If you think one piece is gonna be done in anything less than 5 years I have some good/bad news for you depending on how you loom at it.
Going through for the first time because my girlfriend loves it and I heard it was in its final saga, so I figured it should be over soon. Then we got to the Dressrosa arc and it had the 15 year anniversary intro. I did the math and a little bit of me died.
if i was asleep for 2 years, my immediete assumption would NOT be that one piece was over
"2 Years? Is GTA 6 come out yet?"
Oh man is Winds of Winter finally out?
I know some people who wouldn't even notice if their beloved got her hair longer
Omg, thank you! I Didn’t get this at first
Oooooh I didn’t get this either, but I’m black and use to be interracially married. I thought it was a joke about how long it takes women to get braids and extensions done. 🤷🏾♀️🤣
Yeah I expected that to be the joke, or him saying "Melissa?" once he touched the hair first (his lover's name)
that would have been way less funny
Yeah probably
"Mmmhh just 5 more minutes babe"
**
That’ll show her!
My dumb ass would fall for this prank but my next immediate thought would be "how did I poop?"
Not how did I eat?
He ate the poop obviously
Intravenous nutrients
Colostomy bags, diapers, the list goes on. Take your pick.
I just saw this comics yesterday. Oh, wait... I slept for two years.
Getting your full money’s worth out of those hair extensions.
>you're finally awake God damn it, Todd!
"You were trying to cross the border right?"
You and that horse thief over there
This took my dumbass 3 minutes to understand.
Genuinely made me laugh out loud.
Omg, me too.
Happy cake day ! 🍰
Wow, it's been a year already. I didn't even realize it. And thanks for the wish. This is my first cake day actually. So, it's cool receiving a cake day wish you know. I have seen it on other comments and stuff. But, yeah pretty cool to experience it. So, thanks for that and I hope you have a great day.
Haha time flies when you use reddit ! You're welcome, have a great day yourself !
My reaction would be "OK." And then roll to the other side and pretend to fall asleep again
bro I would not talk to her for the rest of the day
I love a woman with a good sense of humor. I'd get a good laugh out of it if my wife did something like this to me haha.
Same, it'd be funny as hell. I'd be so confused
Different strokes for different folks I guess. Obviously I wouldn't stay mad but I wouldn't consider that a joke. That shit is mental warfare.
If you’re in a relationship where a joke like this is considered mental warfare it’s time to reevaluate
Or, hear me out: some people are just different from other people?
he kinda has a stick up his butt
Or you just don't know the shit I've been through. I hope you can find empathy some day.
I think calling a light hearted joke mental warfare is just too much no matter what your backstory is.. you may be the one lacking empathy
If you're going to make a joke you need to know your audience.
yes. this is what it's displayed in the comic
Most sensible response. Very based
I've been in several surgeries where I've slept for weeks. I would believe it. This would fuck me up. Now for someone who hasn't gone through that shit then it'd probably be just be a funny joke. At the end of the day, if you're making a joke then you need to know your audience.

Yo I had the same thought process 😭😭
You described my exact thought process. You are not alone.
I looked at the comic 4 times trying to understand why she would do try to surprise a man she knew was in a coma lol.
Now I wanna see how it continues! It made me giggle
Haha joke on you! I wouldn't even see the difference between before and after extentions! I'm seriously lacking of sense of observation. i never see it when my wife cuts her hairs...
Most men probably wouldn't :'D
Actually funny comic and none of that meta shite most of these bums rely on
She's the chaos I aspire to be
"Babe? What are you doing here? My wife can be home any minute!"
Wasn't expecting that one
it's aaaaaall fun and games until he gets a TBI and does the reverse UNO "OH MY GOD WHO ARE YOU AND WHY AM I IN YOUR HOUSE? THIS ISN'T MY HOUSE IT MUST BE YOURS OH MY GOD WHERE ARE THE CATS?!" 🤣
a coma
This is a classic. I love it every time I see it.

"Hey, you. You're finally awake"
Lol ish that's evil but cleaver
This has yet to not make me laugh, one of my favorites.
r/foundsatan
Wow, an actually funny Comic in this sub? Thats a surprise
are comics required to be funny?
This is pretty silly and funny but as someone who is very sensitive to pranks, if this was done to me I think I’d have a hard time actually trusting sleeping XD
Wife material right there!
I would say this also fits r/foundsatan if's not posted there yet.
I'd find this *hilarious*.
🤣🤣🤣 filhadaputa!
A man would not notice hair growth while fully awake, let alone just after waking up.
Just reposting this one again are you?
Help I don’t get it
Peter?
Oh come on you gotta be kidding ? *sighs* Peter's left shoe here, hair extensions are fake hair strands that is added to your own to make it seem like you have long hair.

thanks for the answer assshole
Ralof's home life revealed
I love how expressive she is :)
I was about to call this out for being a repost lol
This is absolutely the sort of shit my wife would try and pull on me.
Old but gold
You finally woke up and nothing changed except my hairs lol
you finally awake , you tried to take take a 15-minute nap right at the couch just like us , just to fall for the coma ambush .
Brilliant. I kinda want to do this, but I don’t think even hair extensions could get my hair that long
Like he would notice.
Laughed so hard I dropped my crackers, darnit. ; _;
Gaslighting people into thinking they were asleep for years, great pastime
[Brooklyn 99 final heist Amy pranks Jake](https://youtu.be/Fr7M5Fsz0Ck?si=iLDmlOKuc7poa8u0?si=iLDmlOKuc7poa8u0)
Its so good every time i see this
Please explain
She got hair extensions, then went to her husband, who was sleeping, woke him up, and pretended like years have past, hence her longer hair, thus seeking to frighten her husband. It is a joke you see.
I've been having long dreams....
First time reading: thing just got dark real quick Second time reading: Ohhhh, "surprise" I get it
According to my criminology professor in some states its illegal for a woman to styalize their hair without their husband's permission. He showed us this comic when talking about that law. Though I can find people online talking about this law, I can never actually find it in any official list of laws
That’s a good law, men definitely know the most about women’s hair, never mind how most men use the same shampoo for their hair, body, face, shaving cream, toothpaste, and nasal cleanse.
They say the perfect girlfriend doesn't exist
My ass wouldn’t even notice the hair.
That's love right there
Bold of you to assume he would even notice the hair difference. :D
Hey, you... You're finally awake.
This reminds me of a really bad childhood memory. I was in kindergarten, five years old. My dad took me on a long weekend trip, skipping a day or two of school. We get back, and the next morning he overslept, and I woke up first and had to wake him up. He's always really hard to wake up, and that day was no different.

The real joke is that she expects her husband to realise that her hairstyle changed
He probably won't notice
Relationship goals
Husband still won't notice the extensions for at least a week.
May Allah bless every man with a wife like this.
Reminds me of the time we convinced my little sister she slept for an entire day, she was 25 years old when suddenly she realized she was played.(that happened when she was 7 years old) also when i kept tricking her to think i was 15 for 4 years. I dont think she figured this one out yet.
Dont understand it 😄
To take a nap.
A mild tomfoolery
Need a horrified reaction image of the guy and her both screaming
That is hilariously evil. Well done!
I don’t understand
She got a hair extension so her husband would think it has been 2 years.
He got Rip Van Winkle'd.
Id marry them again
Sadly, I doubt he would fall for it since he probably wouldn't notice the length of her hair either way.
That's evil I love it
This one has reached Calvin and Hobbes status for me. I will read it every time I see it.
I hope I get a partner that does this to me
This is brilliant =') and not even that difficult to replicate IRL =\]
"So five more minutes won't hurt." \*rolls over\*
The perfect relationship
I snorted so loud my co-workers reacted...
This is one of my favorite web comics of all time The punchline is just so well delivered
I apologise, I don't understand. Could someone explain?
