Good gravy, what is this blemish on the Internet?
I'm sure you are wondering why in the world another website has been created within the infinitely expanding world of the World Wide Web that has a marginal chance of drawing attention and achieving commercial success.
So am I!
Hi, I'm Reginald Franklin. Thanks to popular demand from my friends in high school and on Facebook, I give you Packed for Laughs(TM)! It's an online comic strip depicting the "ordinary" lives of ordinary brown paper lunch bags. If talking bags are ordinary, of course. Alright, enough with the introductions! Get to reading and prepare to laugh, cry, groan, and bemoan the comic critics have raved! ...In invisible ink, apparently.

What is the meaning of this monstrosity?!
Glad you asked! During my sophomore year of high school, I had to start taking my lunch to school everyday because I wanted to be in band class more than lunch. I took my food in *gasp* paper lunch bags to wolf down at the beginning of band.
Well one day I started to doodle on the bag giving it a face and something to say. I showed it to one or two friends and they thought it was kind of funny. I kept at it but after a while, but no one asked me about them so I stopped. But right before we left for our Winter Break, two guys in band came up to me questioned why I had stopped doing bags. So right after we got back I started doing them "for real" and have kept it up for the past 2.5 years.

Why? WHY do you torture me TWO days per week?
Good question. This limit on comics per week is not because I'd run out of bags (I have a good two years' worth) but because of what we call "real life." There are a good number of high quality web comics that update five days per week, but for me, I need the breaks so I don't drive myself crazy. Seriously.
Before I erase my memory of these traumatizing comics, how do you get those bags to talk?
"Talking bags"? Have you lost your mind? Go find it!
