A few weeks ago, Star magazine ran a large photo of George Clooney stuffing a huge hotdog in his mouth. I wasn't planning on purchasing the magazine, but when I saw the photo, I had no other choice but to buy it. They really should have put this photo on the cover, sales would have skyrocketed. Medium: mixed media collage.
This is a comic I drew a few years ago and after looking at the Handsome George Clooney photo above, I thought it was relevant to post. Look, I'm not saying ALL guys eat like this, I just happened to witness this sort of behavior in the course of a single day (and yes, that's Jeff Polage in the first panel). I've enjoyed many male dining companions who were well-mannered gentlemen...but they don't make as funny a comic strip as the sloppy guys do.
Oh, and while we're on the subject of eating, don't miss this site devoted to photos of celebrities eating. Why it exists, I can't explain.

Yeah 14, u R a snob! I agree! Giv the guy a break! Like U R so purfict! OMG!

obviously someone cares how Clooney eats, or else this photo wouldn't have been printed in so many tabloids.
If he tried to kiss me after inhaling his Dog of Hotness, I would let him.

You know I love your blog, but this has got to be one of the stupidest post ever. Who cares how this man eats? So he's inhaling a hot dog so what. Like everyone's done this. Dude is still hot and can eat like a pig with me anytime.

How do I eat?
Photosynthesis.
People will like me more if I don't act like I'm the Queen of Etiquette?
You have destroyed my dreams of becoming the next Miss Manners!! Oh the pain...the PAIN of your cruel words is too much to take! You have destroyed me, destroyed my ambition....destroyed my very soul.
Now the world knows what an elitist I am. You have exposed me.
I am ruined.

I don't understand.
How do you eat?
If you're saying you eat with a knife and fork all the time then you clearly don't understand having to eat on the run.
you probably don't eat hotdogs or pizza and you probably try to look absolutely perfect while you are eating pizza with a fork.
you come off as a total snob.
just my input
advice: people will like you more if you don't act like you are the queen of etiquette.
i'm sure this won't be posted because it makes you look lame

That picture of Clooney stuffing that hotdog into his pietrap is sheer sexuality!! The comic strip made me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes while trying to conduct a business call. :D

Am I bad? I still love Clooney. In very large part because the dude seems like he's got a pretty good sense of humor, which a lot of these movie stars do NOT.
Fantastic illustration though, 14.

This is so true. Boys turn into rampaging jungle beasts when they eat.
