Interesting Times

is a journal comic by Nathan Fehr and is updated Monday through Thursday nights. The "Personal Favorites" category highlights some of what I think is my best work, but you're free to dig in however you please.

or "blog" as the kids call it? Anyway I started one, it's about topics I've geeked out over and then explained to my patient wife.

another thing would be "comic ideas, un-had"

This comic doesn’t make a lot of sense. I completely acknowledge that. What inspired it was this: at the movie theatre I used to work for there were spice containers for your popcorn. You could buy a nice bag, head over to the spice area and load them down with things like white cheddar and BBQ flavours. These containers periodically needed to be refilled and cleaned.

The notable thing about them was that they were paradoxically harder to open if you tried harder to open them. They were twist-off lids. If you grabbed and wrenched they wouldn’t budge. If you adopted a light touch and a minimal amount of twist, they’d slide right open. THAT’S what I was trying to get across. Maybe I should have just stuck with trying to tell that story. Well, what’s done is done![May 22, 2011]

    How fitting… The harder I try to understand your comic, the more confusing it gets!

    It’s a stroke of genius.

    I am mysterious and intelligent it is true! Even things that appear to be mis-spelled (“night” for instance) are of course done so on purpose, and are CLUES to the DEEPER MEANING!
