Comic for Monday, January 25, 2010

Posted: 12:00 am, Monday, January 25

Real quick disclaimer, I'm clearly not mocking the demented. But I do love the word demented.

I don't know why, but I oddly remembered the Lasagna Cat video tributes to Garfield the other day. Embedding is out on this one, but, God, I love this.

I went to Radegast Beer Hall to celebrate the end of Saturday academy on, uh, Saturday. I had too many big beers. But Saturday academy is done, thank God. The kids start taking their Regents exams tomorrow, and I've got around 130 taking the English exam. Pray for Omarion. (My kids aren't actually that big on the Lottery.)

I thought something was busted with Kate Beaton's site for the last month and a half, but I guess she just changed the domain name or something. So I had a lot of catching up to do. I love the top one here, and this strip is a beautiful corollary to Coach's ranting about my t-shirt (which I wore on Saturday, for the kiddies).

I don't want to actually talk about the content of this article too much on the site, but Ebert wrote a great piece on education in America, because Ebert writes great just about everythings these days.

And, yeah, I posted a li'l early today. I'm trying to go to bed and get a quick start tomorrow. Lots of filing to do tomorrow.

Short question frog. When you say demented do you mean the mentally handicapped, the religious right, or is this a new term for yankee fans? I realize these groups are not mutually exclusive.

I think the ad means the Alzheimer's-inflicted. We'll stick with batshit for the Religious Right, Human Goiters for Yankee fans, and "sped" for mentally handicapped.

The Devil writes Pat Robertson a letter:

Kate Beaton has also been doing a series of quick comics on twitter. Who knew there are twit pics? They're not easy to find either, but start with this: http://twitpic.com/zdqvb Part of her "thing" seems to be to make you work to find her stuff.

Eh, ability beats having two elderly couples holding hands in separate bathtubs. I still don't get that.

Miyaa: It's a way of suggesting they're naked and therefore they want to DO IT that is acceptable on TV. I have never sat in a bathtub outdoors. I wonder if there's water in the tubs, and how they filled them without plumbing, and whether it's cold, and whether cold affects the effect of the drug they're selling. Once you think about it there are so many questions. The hastily recited disclaimers do not address all of them. The world is a difficult place to live.

Back to the story. Don't Ron and Lis watch TV and have slice o' life conversations like this? What kind of shlump will Jen start going out with next? Will Pete EVER grow up, just a little? So many possibilities, Bullfrog.
