Sleep or comic? Sleep or comic?
You could make a sleep-comic. You've sleptwalked and slept talked...who's to say you couldn't sleepcomic?
I'd hate to imagine what I'd sleepcomic about. They say in the rules, all comics should be fit for a regular newpaper--family friendly.
Newspapers are some the least family-friendly things around--full of all that violence. But I guess it's all real life. And they try not to use F-words and such because that would be uncouth, right?
[See "Is Couth a Word?" By Brian Wasco, The Write at Home Blog. I tried to include the link but it messed up how this comic looked and frankly, made it look uncouth.]
How come people call things uncouth, but no one runs around calling things couth?
Apparently originally (according to some blog I just read) there was no "couth" just uncouth which meant unfamiliar or unknown--like maybe to describe a stranger from another planet...or someone like you.
