Now we have another attempt at humor by my 11-year-old self.

There are so many disturbing things about this particular “funny” card. Here they are, in no particular order (feel free to add your own in the comments):

  1. The fact that there are two Kenny Rogers, one who pitches and one who sings is probably the most obvious joke I could have made. It’s hard to overstate just how unfunny this is.
  2. For some reason, I drew a bass guitar. I don’t think Kenny Rogers was a bass guitarist. I don’t think he was an anything guitarist. 
  3. I bothered to draw tuning pegs on the headstock of the guitar, but didn’t bother to have the guitar strings attach to the tuning pegs.
  4. I didn’t bother to look for a non-action shot card of Rogers to use, which could have produced a much more realistic guitar playing impression. Instead, I used this card, so it looks like he’s throwing the guitar, rather than playing it.
  5. Kenny Rogers was playing major league baseball in 1991. Didn’t he play last year?

 

Yikes.

Yikes.
