Compromise

 

Why’s there suddenly a little URL on the comic? Because  a friend of mine told me today that he’d recently seen a comic of mine get to the 2nd page of /r/funny on Reddit, and while I won’t be counting million dollar bills anytime soon I appreciate any exposure. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell there was no source citation whatsoever and I didn’t see a shred of traffic from it. So, if somebody reposts a comic they at least know where to go for more, from now on. That’s all!

Ubiquitously Hip

 

Life is a funny thing; there is now a Tragically Hip song that I actually like (“Fireworks”). Just one for now, but who knows where life will take me next? [July 10, 2014]

P.S. In writing the above commentary I trolled myself; I was going to refer to the TH song in the alt-text, but then I stopped and thought “Wait a minute, that’s an REM song! Wh– oohh.

Occupy Backyard

 

This comic is actually taken verbatim from a phone conversation with Lori, like it claims. The “and then, hey!” bit was far better in its original delivery, because she had just that second realized what the benefits are of having a lawn infested by robots. I even tried to preserve her pauses. I came up with the robot designs and artwork myself. [July 10, 2014]
