David Daneman has a lot to say with his comic series The DaneMen, but it turns out that silence is his strongest storytelling technique.
What is a 'silent comic,' you might ask? Usually, comic strips are defined by their text boxes and thought bubbles which allow you to 'hear' the drawn characters' thoughts and words. The DaneMen, however, gets ideas across with visuals alone. Daneman follows a unique process - he photographs himself, traces the image using a photo editor, and turns the resultant drawing into a cartoon.
It might all sound like a pretty complicated way to make a simple comic, but when you see the lifelike facial expressions Daneman's sketch-self exhibits, you'll wonder why you ever settled for stick figures. The Montreal-based illustrator may be a jack-of-all-trades of sorts, previously studying film at the University of Kansas, graphic design at Vancouver Community College, and teaching English in South Korea, but comics are clearly his true passion. Experience The DaneMen for yourself below!

Yesss! People choose to get offended it in the comment section instead of respecting opinions. Sometimes it's better not to comment at all. Kudos to those who choose not to downplay someone else's stand point or who simply don't say anything 😊

I only downvote something if it is truly hateful ... if I can see where they are coming from, then I just ignore it. But I swear if something have like 5 down votes, people will just keep down voting it because others did -- people on here don't think for themselves!

This is probably the best comic in all the series. If a five-digit number is not extreme enough for you, add smoking, consequences of pollution, self-chosen malnutrition, lack of exercise etc.

My whole life, I've always thought that the most embarassing way to die had to be by drowning in manure (which almost happened to me when I worked on a farm, in 1999, mind you). Or because a sex toy has exploded inside of you (this won't happen to me, mark my words). But lately, I've changed my mind, and death by selfie has to take the palm. The double face palm...

The peregrine falcon isn't really the fastest. It can achieve speeds of 240 mph I think, but that's only because it dives straight down from really frickin' high up. The real fastest is some other bird that I forgot. No internet search was used in the making of this comment.
RespectThePaiva 8 years ago
Why shouldn't diving count? Don't other birds dive as well? That's like saying that the Formula 1 cars aren't among the fastest cards in the world because they have special tires, engines and whatnot, achieving only the top speed on special lanes. Of course, if you want to achieve top speed, special circumstances are necessary. And the peregrine is, in fact, the fastest fastest being on Earth. When he's diving, he's still flying, but making the most of his environment. He's reducing friction as much as possible, like cars do with the tires, or cheetahs, barely touching the soil with its feet to reach top speed.

The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the peregrine,[2] and historically as the duck hawk in North America,[3] is a widespread bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive),[4] making it the fastest bird in the world, as well as the fastest member of the animal kingdom.[5][6][7] According to a National Geographic TV program, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).[8][9] As is typical for bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males.[10][11] The peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical...

when I lived in Mexico, in some cities (mos probably in all of them) you had your beggars and such, the government recommends the general population not to give them money since it is believed to encourage it, but one can not help to feel bad for some of this peeps. One time I offered this Raramuri girl who dindt speak any spanish and all she would say is korima (What I have, you have, or share with me). I was carrying a sandwhich and gave her half, she threw it on the floor and she extended her hand and she said "Dame Dinero"!
