WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

A comic about potato people.

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE?

Sam Pratt.  According to his Patreon Page, he enjoys long walks on the beach in full platemail armor, reading poetry under the moonlight, and sprinting through fields of dandelions screaming profanities. (We double checked and confirmed this is not a Tinder profile although that would be awesome.)

WHAT'S THE LATEST?

Wild wolf survival guide (not the latest but definitely the funniest).

HOW DOES IT ALL START?

The origin of Shark Week (while polar beads get the shaft until Coca-Cola comes along that is).

HOW OFTEN DOES IT GO?

After 16 issues were uploaded in August, looks like three times a month since.

WHAT'S GOOD?

Very unique style and brand of humour. It's like Mr. Potato Head meets Ren and Stimpy and they all have a love child with SpongeBob SquarePants (we're dating ourselves we know). The water colour is great, You can tell it's hand drawn which creates a really nice organic touch. And the editor being a recovering World of Warcraft addict, this was too funny:

But hey. don't knock this too hard. We know a couple that met on WoW and got married IRL. You never know right? Give it a chance!

WHAT'S NOT SO GOOD (IN YOUR OPINION ONLY OF COURSE)?

This comic is great when it sticks to the zany offbeat humor. Writing gags focused on literal humour is sometimes really hard to pull off. Sometimes it falls flat like telling a vampire he literally sucks. But then there are jokes like a little birdie telling someone they look fat in their pants and it works.

WHAT DON'T WE KNOW WE DON'T KNOW?

According to the Urban Dictionary, the title "Rustled Jimmies" can be interpreted to mean:

  1. That Really Rustled My Jimmies” is an expression that is used to convey feelings of discontent or discomfort in response to someone else’s post in imageboards and discussion forums, most notably on 4chan. To rustle one's jimmies means to make someone discontent or to bother someone.
  2. Re-positioning sexual organs. For males, re-positioning of the penis and testicles. For females, re-positioning of the breasts.
  3. The act of fucking up someone's shit to the point they can no longer continue to live with them selves because of how bad someone just ruined their day.

You are welcome.

WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK?

We think Sam Pratt has a ton of potential. The creative juice is there. If he has more time and focused on upping the writing, this is a hit. Could even be an animated series. This screams licensing!

WHAT SHOULD WE READ ON TABULIT LIKE THIS?

Instead of potatoes talking about random stuff, how about two penguins talking about random stuff?
