I recently discovered (and immediately bought) a very funny children’s book in the English-language section of our local bookstore: “Almost Everybody Farts“.
P.S. I may have mentioned this before. Flatulence seems to be a popular topic here.
I’m not sure this is quite synchronous. Isnt’t the “just gas” thing something people say about babies smiling? I didn’t think they were talking about babies farting, just gas pains making them grimace.
Ahhhhhhhh!
I agree with DemetriosX regarding the first one. The second one would have been better to me if the guy was initially the only person in the elevator so he let one go, only to have the door open letting a group on and causing embarrassment.
Is it truly synchronicity if one of the comics is a “classic”? Geech creator Jerry Bittle tragically died 15 years ago. I think he was one of the cleverest cartoonists ever, but synchronicity this ain’t.
I’d also say mentioning gas is not a very significant coincident.
The part I don’t understand is what “Elevator week” means. A week of comics set in elevators? That’s oddly specific.
” A week of comics set in elevators? That’s oddly specific.”
Perhaps. But if the creator has a week’s worth of elevator gags, why not?
It’s worked out well for “shark week”, except I don’t care what channel it is that has it. Game shows often have theme weeks, and so do the “art” movie theaters that aren’t multiplexes. This week, we have films by Stanley Kubrick. Next week, war movies. Coming up, sci-fi B movies from the 50’s…

Today’s Rubes adds insult to injury:
From what Paul-Emile Victor says in his books, I’m not sure this addition of the bear’s would change anything.
