Description
I could never understand how people were able to read the lips of people in movies or real life. Then again, I guess I can understand why they don't try to enunciate that often...Took a lot longer than I planned, but it's another one of those comics I just had to make, just so I would stop laughing about it like an idiot.
Enjoy and all that.
(Also: My birthday is in two hours. Yay me!)
EDIT:
Freaking hell that's a lot of comments! This is going to take DAYS to sort through. Seriously, thanks guys.
I've also fixed the whole six finger thing people were pointing out. Kind of ironic since it always bothered me when people would draw only four fingers on people. Subcontious overcompensation perhaps.

Maybe not blind people. Then again, I have a feeling having someone rubbing their hands on your face while you're doing this to "read you" would be somewhat worse.
Especially if you suddenly realise you've got something in your teeth.

Aw man you made me chuckle in the middle of computer class! While the teacher was talking!
HILLARIOUS comic!!! At first I thought the art style was so... structure like, like it was built on some sort of mold. And then came the 4th panel and everything else and it was a magor "WTF" moment. Totally took me by surprise, it's great!!!

The plan was to lull the reader into this idea of normality before I dropped the nuke. Now that that I know the method is effective, I can proceed to use it on the world's bank vaults.

OM MY GOSH. Hilarious and disgusting at the same exact time. And true. Some of the things our faces do, while not that extreme (usually!), can be rather off-putting.

The fact that I can do most of these should consern humanity greatly then. I have the potential power of room clearing!
Not quite Superman, but still!

Haha, I laughed so ahrd of this that the teacher came along and asked what was funny. And then he laughed so the whole class was like "WTF is going on?!"

Looks like my plan to disrupt the planet's classrooms is going according to plan. Soon, everyone will be too distracted re-reading this thing to finish their classes, requiring to hire me to extract everyone personally as the only person still able to walk! I'll be RICH!
Bonus points if you tried wording it out to the rest of the class.

Shoot this is too funny! I laughed to hard. She said: I like yoou... right?

I'd say 'Love'. Requires some serious devotion beyond liking to purposfully contort your face like that.
...Unless you're pretending to have a wedgie. ...Maybe.

Brilliant movement and flow with the expressions : ) I sure enjoyed it.

this is hilarious. i like the face the guy makes when she turns around to "tell" him again.
i was actually surprised when i could tell what sounds she was saying (i could match them up to the words "i love you"). i suppose they were just so exaggerated that only an idiot wouldn't know what she was saying. did you look in a mirror to see your own mouth shapes as reference when you were making this?

Yeah, I tried to make it as clear and over the top as possible. If people still couldn't read it after that, then lip reading is probably a lost cause.
I actually didn't have to check my reflection for this aside for a brief check for 'Uh' and 'O'. The first simply because you pronounce it a bit differently in english, and 'O' because you don't actually form your mouth into a round hole, and it can sometimes be hard to differanciate between that and 'uh', 'U' and 'Y'. Had to make sure there was no way to confuse it with any of the others.

I would have looked so stupid if I had given in to laughing out loud just now. Just barely controlled myself!
This comic is a riot dude, and I can totally see where you're coming from with the lip reading stuff; I totally fail at that!
