Behold the miracle; that which was ever unfunny and unentertaining... becomes funny and entertaining:

http://www.joshreads.com/ (warning: You will either totally not get it or waste untold hours here. There appears to be no middle ground)

Also, say what you will about Blondie, but she's got the most awe-inspiring rack on the entire comics page.

The link, man, give them the link!

I...I just assumed everybody knew the DFC.  I mean, that's like... wow.

In the Telegraph I found what was possibly the worst comic ever committed to paper in the entire universe. Here's a rundown of that day's "Fred Bassett (hound)"

I say that Mallard Fillmore is worse and not just because I disagree with the politics. The art never has the slightest thing to do with the strip. It'll be 3 panels of Mallard in front of random buildings holding a briefcase and talking aloud about Clinton. It's actually a step down from a large pig with "TAX CUTS" written on it.

Point A:

Blondie does have a great rack. I did not state that as I assumed it was presumed in any discussion of Blondie.

Point B:

This "Joshreads" reminds me... does anyone else remember Mallard Fillmore being, like, almost politically opposite to the current lockstep Military-Religious-Complex Conservative stand it takes these days? I could swear I remember it being, early in its run, pretty much Democratic in its slant? Like, not necessarily, "liberal" but sort of... existing ideologically square in the more socially conservative part of the Democratic mainstream?

Or am I crazy?

So I went to this site, and it was indeed funny and entertaining, and I wasted untold hours there. And it got me thinking, yes, snarky comments about stupid things are almost endlessly amusing, but reading other people's snark is the least productive thing one can possibly do. And then I wondered, what if the information-based economy isn't the end-point of a country's economic development? What if we progress to a snark-based economy? Is this how everyone will spend their lives in the future? Will we all make a living by selling each other cafepress.com t-shirts?

[theinevitable]

yeah.

I'm not gonna lie, one of my friends is already making extra cash this way. the rest will soon follow, I predict.

Does anyone really need a "Jesus is my Homo" t-shirt with a picture of an effeminate Jesus holding a purse? Why does someone need that?

I hope you're correct.  It's better than what I fear, which is that our entire economy is going to come to a grinding halt because everyone is doing nothing but looking at other people's pictures on Flickr.

[theinevitable]

huh. see, unless I know the person, i can rarely find anything I like on Flickr. weird.

I'm going with "You crazy" on this one.
