Big Girls Need Love Too

More personal ads!
I chose this week’s animal after perusing the ‘Request Thread’ on the Abominable Facebook Group. Turns out that walruses ranked pretty high on the list, and rightly so.
I should mention that the titles of these posts and a lot of the text are straight out of actual personal ads I’ve found online. You can’t make some of this stuff up…

33 Abominable Comments!

  1. Cesare

    hilarious – and beautifully drawn

  2. Nervous Aunty

    amazing! i can’t wait to collect-em-all!

  3. Shadowclad

    Don’t mind the curves but perhaps she can get a cream for the dry skin? ;)

    (excellent “strip” Karl)

  4. joverine

    what a hottie!

  5. clarkkers

    so you’ve been perusing personal ads, eh karl?

  6. Nechronox

    I’ve been enjoying your little hiatus, Karl. The guest strips and these personals have been funny! Do you know when you’ll be picking up Chapter 2′s story line?

  7. Rex Queems

    hehe I could see a human striking the same pose as your walrus in one of these ads.

  8. John K

    I feel like I’ve read that ad before… So genuine!

  9. Spikeyboy

    Nothing wrong with the larger lady.
    I would have made a suggestion, but ye got me in the first one.
    Perhaps some of the nasties, such as slug, fleas or rats?

  10. Omizzle

    Just to mention, 70 cm is pretty small for a cow. They grow up to two feet in an adult Cow and up to FOUR feet in Bulls.

    She Needs Implants.

  11. Marina

    Omizzle: Two feet is about 61cm, so I’d say she’s doing OK with her 70 cm tusks.

    Now for the $5 question: Are they REALLY real?

  12. thisfox

    She’s gorgeous.

    Not going to make a suggestion on facebook, but if I were to suggest, perhaps a herd animal next? I can just imagine a deer advertising for the purpose of building is harem, or a buffalo… I understand this lady wants a bull all to herself, but some of the bulls naturally advertise differently…. A bower bird, for instance, if he is successful, will find many ladies to perform to (alright, so that’s an Aussie example, but there must be equivalents).

    I love it Karl – Fantastic!!!!!

  14. Esn

    Good as usual, but I liked Tarek better, to be honest. His face was just a lot more expressive.

  15. RobinWilliamScott

    Hahaha, keep it up, I much prefer these to the guest strips. Thank you Karl, I hope you’re still getting the break you needed.

    Is there any news on the print version of TACC?

  16. Argent Stonecutter

    Coffee civet (luwak). Likes: fresh coffee cherries, straight off the bush. Dislikes: that guy following me around with a scoop.

  17. Vashra

    Erm…not to pick nits but uh….do girl walruses have tusks?

  18. lolwarus

    she can be stealing my buckets anytime

  19. karl

    Female walruses do, indeed, have tusks! I researched it. :)

  20. karl

    And the males are polygamous! See how it’s funny? See?

    (sigh)

  21. Argent Stonecutter

    I think walruses have harems, like other seals. She’s just tired of being a sex object.

    Don’t forget: “Turn offs: killer whales”.

  22. Razor

    You go, Zora!

    (nice job Karl =) )

  23. Tigerlady

    “70 cm and all real” Love it! Wonderful job, Karl! I’m loving these new personal ads. ^^

  24. Char-mander

    Hoorah for walruses, but I want more of that plot! Or more bunny theater, I love that.

  25. Chris Jones

    I would LOVE to see what an orangutan’s personal ad would look like. Zora’s is amazingly funny.

    “No players, please.” Rad.

  26. supagama

    haha, what a relationship, right? Expect to hear from me from now on, also CLICK MY NAME!

  27. supagama

    read the enitire story, nice work!

  28. sco3tt

    She’s hot and I have what’s been referred to as a ‘walrus mustache’, thinking maybe . . . just maybe . . .

  29. Tiramisu

    awesome,fat girls getting compaired to walrusses. very appropriate

  30. Argent Stonecutter

    No, Tiramisu, it’s the other way around.

  31. Vashra

    Aw I made Karl sigh :(

    I’m sorry hon, I did think it was funny (and I knew the bulls kept harems), I just wondered about the tusks was all…..

  32. Ruby

    haha No players. Yay, Zora!

  33. Ra

    Zaftig!
