Talking Trash #1 – “Sharingâ€
June 21st, 2008
updated 01/09: looking back: great concept, lazy execution. I’ve got dozen of these comics and a entire tragic story arc worked out.
Here’s the jist: Munch the trash can becomes extremely jealous when the dude brings a girl home, and plays their insecurities against each other until the girl is murdered by the trash can, who frames the guy for it. It was a desperate, and not very thought out move by the trash can (he’s only a talking trash can after all) to win back his pal’s affection, but the can ends up in a land fill and the guy goes to prison for 30 years and is eventually given a lethal injection. In the comic above we’re given a hint at the can’s manipulative personality.
