Miley Cyrus’ little sister seems to be standing up for the rights of pedophiles everywhere. That’s right, lingerie for tweens. And I thought it was creepy when people would start talking about when Marie Kate and Ashley were turning 18. Not much more to say about this, other than: man the Disney Channel is crap these days. I remember when they used to show the Gummy Bears. That is all.
After rereading this and reviewing how crabby it sounds, I’d also like to remind you to get off my lawn.

Are you glad this blog space isn’t about Conan and the NBC debacle? I am.
In other news, Apple officially announced their new product the iPad! Horray for people who don’t already have an iPhone or an iTouch and horray for anyone not interested in using a tablet for drawing or painting. This “new” gadget brings everything together from the iPhone/iTouch and makes it better on a larger screen! CHA-CHING! Thats the sound of innovation falling flat on its face. Yes, innovation has a bag of coins for a face.
In all fairness, its much cheaper than a “real” tablet pc and you can touch the screen for all the fun you get out of doing that. This new toy is basically for the general public, its key features being websurfing, reading ebooks, playing games, listening to music, watching movies and a touch screen. If you touch it too much, you may wear it out, be sure to wear goggles for extended periods of time you may go blind. I’m pretty sure thats in the fine print somewhere.
If Apple comes out with something close to a Wacom CintiQ 21UX for much cheaper than 2 grand, I’d be all over that. As it stands, I’m enjoying my reliable Intuos3 and some occasions I use my lenovo x200 tablet pc when traveling. In more cases I kick it oldschool with these classic tools – paper and pencil.
Are you more interested in an affordable tool like Wacom products or are you more interested in a toy such as the iPad/iTouch/iPhone? The alternative as the comic depicts, classic toys can be found at the local Goodwill or your closest pack rat.
Tried to save this one for shark week, but who can wait all year for shark week? Anyway here’s another Conan Blog.
I watched the last episode of Conan I wished he would have broken from the format a little more, done something a little crazy. When the day before he said, ‘We’re going to have some fun on television,’ my expectations were high. I don’t think that much would have met my expactations, Peewee Herman explaining the lawsuit on Thursday night was magical, and Conan rocking out with ZZ Top and Beck was pretty awesome. Conan’s final words, and his plea to for people to not be cynical, did surprise me. He’s a guy that tasted his dream for 7 months and had it taken away, primarily I’d have to guess by folks that don’t have dreams, certainly not creative aspirations. And here Conan is telling us to not be cynical. Well here’s to Conan who lived the dream for 7 months and put down some of the best Tonight Show’s we’ll ever see.
I don’t think NBC deserves the money, but I’d really like a best of Dvd including the last two weeks of episodes and as many of Conan’s best sketches (from Late Night and The Tonight Show) 10 Dvds can hold.
I don’t really have much in the way of explaining this strip, Mortimer the Brontosaurus explained things far better than I could.
Instead I’ll talk some more about Conan. As someone who writes comedically twice a week it’s hard watching one of your idols getting screwed. Not the majority of people I talk to, but some have said he just doesn’t fit at that time slot, that he was “better at 12:30.” I don’t really think those people were watching at 12:30. Fun facts for the Conan uninitiated: Conan wrote for SNL during it’s last great cast period, during the Sandler, Farley, Hartman Era. He wrote The Simpsons when they were in there golden age up to and including the Monorail episode. He was on his little Late Night show for 17 years. I think the guy’s paid his dues. If you haven’t been watching Conan these last couple of weeks you’ve been missing out. The last two weeks when looked back in tonight show history will probably be looked back upon as the best shows in Tonight Show History. Also you missed Sandler dropping the C bomb on national television last night and the Bugatti Veyron Mouse. NBC’s taking the Tonight Show from Conan. I wish someone would take the Tonight Show away from NBC.
This brings an end to our Matt is Pregnant series if you missed it, it started here.
I played a new board game this weekend. Those of you that have been reading for awhile know how much I love things that roll dice and end friendships. Board games allow for an oppurtunity to do both, it’s so nice when I get to play a new “fuck your neighbor” board game. The game is called Playing Gods, it was delightfully sacreligious. The minatures/the art won me over before I started playing. Whether you play as Chaingun Wielding Buddah, Scimitar and Bomb wielding Allah, or Cross to Bear Down on Your Skull Jesus, this game is a good time to be had by all but grandma. It plays pretty fast pace, as Jesus I was smote quite quickly. Then Moses revived me by bringing more christians back into the world, Moses also had a card that allowed him to remove 3 Christian Sects as well, so when I came back into play, I was Moses’ hostage/mercenary. I was able to steal the Christian smiting card from Moses, bring Chaingun Buddah back into play as my hostage, but it was all for not in the end Allah beat us all by converting our respective flocks. My friend Travis, upon his victory, was gracious enough to remind us to bone up on our Quran as we would be praying five times a day from here on out.
Don wrapped up this comic in 5 minutes while driving Matt to the ER. Nothing says dedication than delivering a baby and doing it in a timely fashion.
If Matt gets bit by a vampire while in labor, does the baby become blade or does Matt become blade?
If missed Matt Getting knocked up, you can jump back to here.
A non-teen vampire flick is in our midst. I kind of want to see Day Breakers. I guess it may be a catch em all want, I mean I’ve seen Queen of the Damned for Christ Sakes. I’ll even watch New Moon when the Riff Trax come out for it (I hope they play vampire baseball again.) Day Breakers seems like so good a premiss it couldn’t possibly be carried out well. It seems to me that they’ll be hard pressed to set up the vampire society to leave the time for a blood shortage/hunting the humans. I think it’s the old fashioned ‘What If?’ sci fi angle of it all that really gets me. I love ‘What If’ some of the best Star Trek episodes were ‘What If.’ I’ll probably go see it, besides that Ethan Hawke is kind of a dream boat.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I know my corpse had a fabulous time in NYC… In lieu of Matt’s fat eye condition, I’m adding my 2 cents. The days of ball drop malfunction should be behind us at this point and thats what they always discuss in those ridiculous time wasting segments if you’ve ever watched these count down to midnight shows. Essentially all the technology in the world always fails, no matter how sophisticated. Its probably because all that glitter and jazz stuffed into a huge ball just can’t be stopped similar to a primed blue ball in a no-touch rule strip club. Damn the glitter never comes off.
The family tradition is to watch these growingly inane countdown shows until midnight, we’ve come to just tuning in within the last 5 minutes rather than sit through all the time waster garbage. Laughable moments could be something to add to their segment instead of girating people as if this were soul train. The New Year takes on a whole new meaning when Ryan Seacrest takes up the mantle of the tweeting face of Dick Clark next to it. His face is basically making a squeal or chirping mouthing motion to talk, no joke, but really it looks like a joke. The man just won’t leave. Its not like Sly Stalones side mouth talking, but when you see it… Wow. This is usually when the execs and big suits upstairs usually say put that man back on radio, but his voice can’t even hack that…
Whats your traditional New Year celebration consist of? or did you just start one? Getting drunk and smashing things isn’t a tradition especially when you do it throughout the year.
Also as an added note to the New Year celebration, we’ve just hit 100 strips as of today! Thanks for the coming by and reading the strip let your friends know the degenerate activities that go on over here.
Its beginning to sound like Christmas! No wait, that was almost three weeks ago right after Thanksgiving. Has everyone been good or bad? Well it doesn’t really matter when you’re Don, because Cthulhu will find him. Running gags aside, my Christmas festivities did include gift surprises… I grew where Santa brought you exactly what you needed and not what you wanted. I remember writing a letter to Santa, but I don’t remember what I asked for but I certainly didn’t ask for a drawing pad and colored pencils. I’m pretty sure at some point I asked for GI Joes, various action figures, maybe even a Hulk pillow (not Incredible Hulk but THE HULK of WWF fame) the one shaped like the wrestler… I know I asked for a 10 speed bike as well, but I received books, karate manual (yes pictures on karate moves, really helpful if you want to draw fight scenes), I may even have received deodorant. Santa was ahead of his time, how could a 9 year old know about BO and why was a 9 year old still writing letters to Santa? Looking back now, I really would have liked a HULK pillow… and a 10 speed bike…
Did you have any weird presents from Santa or nothing at all? Or if you don’t believe in Santa and the whole satanic religion, do you get any gifts during this time of year? What was the best present you received or can remember the most?
I know this may finally oust me as communist, but this year is the first year I’ve tried the Mcrib. I’ve kept trying it for about 4 weeks now. I think I’ve figured out the love of Mcrib. It’s the cafeteria factor. There are few foods worse in quality than that of what we feed our children, perhaps also our prisoners or our armed forces. As children we knew it wasn’t good, but man did we wait for spongy pizza day anyway. I think the Mcrib love is just the nostalgia for bad barely recognizable cafeteria food. I know and understand this. There’s a 50 percent chance I’ll have another today. Mcdonalds Coke however, that’s just crackwater brewed by gypsy ensorclement experts.
