“Please. I can always do science to it.”
– Guilded Age: an RPG webcomic which is almost certainly going to pass its probationary period with flying colors. Which means that I’m going to have to eliminate one already on my list…

Just finished reading ‘Live Free or Die.’
Live Free Or Die (Troy Rising)
Pack a lunch.

*Stay-at-home dad now, remember? So if that moves you to pity, hey, there’s always the tip jar…
There is something out of joint in the world…
…for why else would Shaenon Garrity’s & Jeffrey Well’s webcomic Skin Horse* not be running in every major newspaper in the land?
Although Sundays are a bad time to jump in. Go all the way to the beginning, and start there.

Not to get all fuddy-duddy or anything…
…particularly when it comes to either webcomics, or my utter hypocrisy on opinion on the subject of cohabitation: but do you know what magical item would so improve Dora’s initial tactical position in this Questionable Content strip?
A Ring of Engagement.
Just saying.

Well, I’ll give the new decade more than an hour…
…before I endorse this position, but it should be noted that I was made the same promise that Avery Brooks was.
And that was back in 2000.

PS: Yes, I know why it was decided that we wouldn’t have flying cars. I was still promised flying cars.
[Webcomics-related] I dunno. Same person?
Girl in picture, Scary Go Round.
Hair fits, name fits, difficulty in remembering name by [cast member who was in both webcomics] fits. Although how she had managed to get back to her home dimension is still up in the air…
Excuse me while I depress most of you utterly.
As Aaron Allston notes: there is going to be a Marmaduke movie,but not… well, read:
Calvin & Hobbes. If there’s one comic strip just about everyone wishes hadn’t stopped, it was Bill Waterson’s epic about a boy terror and his imaginary(?) friend, a stuffed tiger. They should have hucked “Dennis the Menace” when looking to the funnies and picked up Calvin, but… How it would work: Give it to Pixar and let them work on it without interference. Send Waterson to them in a locked crate so they can study him at leisure. If anyone tried making this in to a live-action film, it would fail so hard that audiences would be killed by the shrapnel.
When you think about it, the fact that there isn’t a Calvin & Hobbes film out there is superficially inexplicable. The combination of nigh-universal audience appeal + actors/actresses fighting to get in on the project + major animation studio capable of handling it should = instant box office mega-mojo. That it doesn’t… oh. Right. That entire ‘eating your soul’ thing that happens to movie executives above a certain level.
Never mind.

Subtract out the ‘massive amounts of self-loathing’…
…at least, for the right-side*; and also subtract the ‘drinking too much**.’ So that leaves ‘horrible sleep habits‘ as being part of the ‘political blogging lifestyle,’ too. I’d also note that Total Immersion In The Snark is also a trait that political bloggers and webcartoonists share, but then: that’s true for Internet denizens in general…

*We’re actually quite chipper, over here. Not least because it absolutely infuriates some of our perpetually pinched-face analogues on the Other Side. They’re not happy (and never will be), so they’re kind of ticked that we aren’t even more miserable.
**Dammit. Ach, well, it’s not like I’m 25 anymore. Or even 35.
I’ve linked to this before…
…but it’s still so wonderfully, wonderfully true:
“It’s a good life, having idiots hate you.”

PS: The best part is: pure profit, baby. Pure profit. Even if it only works out to a couple of bucks I don’t have to do a damned thing to gather it in.
If this is being wrong about the Military-Industrial Complex…
…than I don’t want to be right.
Err, I don’t want Jack of Bad Machinery to be right. Except that I do. But then the joke doesn’t work. Not that they usually do.
You get the drift.
Right?
