@achewood Chris waited all day for the Comcast repair guy, and he never showed up. What is he supposed to do with this cream pie?

What matters to me is that he completely made up "Euphus" but it sounds completely right.  To Onstad English is basically a piano.

I will love this strip forever because they mentioned H-E-B in the exact vernacular that his Facebook dwellers would use.

Texas love for tha 'stad.

It's just that you didn't used to have to even click a button to ignore these people. Merely being on the internet used to be enough. Now we have to do something to avoid them, just like in real life. Sure, you can cross the street and pretend you're talking on your cell phone and don't see them, but it was nicer when they were living in another state and it was just never an issue.

Interesting you bring up privacy settings because my experience is that the illusion of privacy on Facebook is what persuades some of those people to participate. But even if you trust Facebook that much, really - if you say something to a room filled with twenty or however many of your friends, you are so positive that none of them will ever repeat it? Someone was just telling me a story yesterday of how she noticed she'd been unfriended by person A, and person B told her "oh yeah, A just posted an update that said she'd unfriended all the bitches on her friends list."


Given this soupçon of misanthropy you have displayed, I think you don't need the Internet to avoid people. Whom would you avoid? You don't strike me as making a lot of acquaintances in the first place, and with an attitude like that, who would try to pursue your friendship? :)

It must be lovely to have had a life like Bobby's where every single person he has ever been thrown into contact with was so charming, fascinating and personable that they are worth continuing to take up his time. Or maybe his standards are just low?

I am anxiously awaiting Onstad's next strip, which, as I understand it, explores "What's up with airline food, anyway."

March can't come soon enough.

Oh, don't be such a cynic. I am confident we'll get one in February.

This is actually the funniest thing about the strip.  Thanks AW.

I thought it was good

There is much less uptake in the UK of Facebook among proper adults though for some reason? Any that do hardly ever use it from my experience.

This American guy with the same rare surname as me added me purely on the basis of surname, which was kinda cute, and it's filled with the stuff that's going on in that strip. He's a cool dude

Are you telling me that that episode of The IT Crowd lied to me?
