Re: Comics Thread (no capes)
I keep seeing that the 'cartoon' is coming back. was there an actual cartoon, or is language meaningless?

I think they're using the term "cartoon" and "comic" interchangeably, not referring to the 1997 TV special.bune wrote:I keep seeing that the 'cartoon' is coming back. was there an actual cartoon, or is language meaningless?
I also think that the predictions that new Far Side comics are coming are a bit premature. The first thing I thought was that it would start to be distributed digitally (a new classic one per day?), as that's never happened before.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The first panel is him getting a text, supposedly, from his GrubHub driver.
But in the second panel, his delivery guy is a stork.
