Metaphors often confuse me, and I don’t think it’s because I can’t understand them. I think most of them are stupid, or confused at best. Just this past week with the passing of Ted Kennedy we had to hear how he was the “Lion of the Senate.” We had to hear this because no journalist could apparently think of anything else interesting to say about a man who lived one of the more interesting lives of the 20th century. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Everyone’s been in this situation where what you think you heard is so incredibly dirty you look to others around you to see if they heard the same thing. Â It’s an uncomfortable few moments where you’re deciding if you should laugh, or perhaps shake your head in scorn. Â Either way, you don’t want to jump the gun just in case they said “hover trucker” instead.
On a side note, the creators of Professor Hobo mean no disparagement to the hard working men and women who drive our nation’s hover trucks each day. Â Without you, we wouldn’t have organic chicken and other oddities.

What gets to coin the terms for different generations? Â Must be a good job, as you only have to come up with something new every twenty years or so. Â Who came up with Generation X, though? Â It sounds like something Microsoft’s marketing department messed up and released twenty years too early.
Personally, I’m holding out for Generation Wii. Â Should be any day now.

I think God probably wears a hat. This may sound odd at first, but hear me out. Don’t all great people through history wear hats? Abraham Lincoln? John Wayne? The Pope? Indiana Jones? All were hat wearers, and I think it’s pretty silly to assume God would associate with the non-hat-wearing crowd over these fellows. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It never ceases to amaze most teachers how bad their students are at basic math concepts. They’ll present all sorts of examples of flawed logic when it comes to their grades. Have a D at midterm and make a B the second half? That must mean a C for the final, right?
In the third panel has Trey completely lost his apetite? Does bad math affect him in the same manner a Dario Argento film might affect the rest of us? Is Trey secretly an engineer?

Harry Potter is great fun, and what could be more fun than seeing Harry Potter with a date? This is the kind of strip that normally gets us in trouble, because half the audience is convinced it’s the dirtiest and most offensive thing they’ve ever read. The other half? They laugh. I like to think strips like this say far more about the dirty mindedness of our audience (by way of how they intrepret it) than it does about us.
