Comic 413: New Pet



Oh Randall. How you love computers. Today you again blurred the line between a living thing and a computer. Ha ha, Randall! You have only done this several times before! See comics 149, 185, 188, 215, 329, 352, 364, 371, 379 and probably a lot more.

So what does he do today. Ok, you put a computer into a ball and made it act like a hampster. Then you gave us another of your schematic diagrams meant to show how seriously you have considered this, and to top it off, finished with another joke about how much you love python. We get it! You like python! It's easy to use! You told us this in comic 353! and 409! And on your blog! It was never all that funny!

Comic 412: Startled




Ok, another in the "Guy in hat meets female version of himself" story. Um. This time he ends up getting shrunken into his hat and "scootching" away. I wouldn't have thought the guy in the hat would be so easily scared. I hope we find out what happens next. Maybe the next installment will feature...words.

Comic 411: Techno


This is somewhat funny. Still falls into the "I know more about computers that you do ha ha ha" category. And of course, anyone who knows enough about computers to loop a 15 second sample into a longer song probably doesn't pay for music from itunes, but other than that...

Also doesn't itunes give you 30 seconds? Maybe it varies.

Comic 410: Math Paper





This is a fairly good comic; I like the idea of revoking a "math license." It reminds me that there do exist happy numbers.

Comic 409: Electric Skateboard




No. You are not nearly a good enough cartoonist to get to use Calvin and Hobbes. In fact, I don't think there are ANY cartoonists who are good enough to co-opt Bill Waterson for their own comic. You give me back my childhood or I'm calling the Universal Press Syndicate, Munroe.

Also, thanks for pointing out in the title that this is a double comic. Because I wouldn't have known by just looking at it.

We know you like electric skateboards, incidentally, you mention it fairly frequently. We also know that you like python, so you can stop mentioning that so often.
