V.J. may have won the war of words, but when I’m in my sweet green wet suit, we’ll see who has the last laugh! This comic is of course a reference to the new movie Kick-Ass based on the awesome comic. I highly recommend both offerings though be aware they do have gratuitous violence and [...]
Another word-for-word quote of the comedy that is my life. The only problem is that now I want ice cream but don’t care to walk the incredible distance to the refrigerator. Such are the quandaries I must contemplate. I made the strip a bit taller which I think makes things more readable. There’s a bit [...]
I had a phone interview yesterday which went just swimmingly and subsequently I have a face-to-face meeting on Monday. I may be able to avoid any faux-pas like this if I concentrate and properly caffeinate. On the other hand, it may be easier to click my heels together three times and chant wingardium leviosa. I’m [...]
Talking finance while having a sword fight! Gotta love it! There are lots of changes afoot!.This strip introduces a new character: Slick. He’s not quite the brightest. Here he attempts to add two stock returns together to determine his total return. This isn’t sound math (here’s how it should be done). Slick has forgotten to [...]
If only the tax rules were as simple as Monopoly… and if only they were as inexpensive! I’ve had mine filled out in Turbo Tax for quite some time but I hadn’t filed them until this morning as I was tinkering with them. It’s amazing how malleable the tax code can be. All-in-all I’ll be [...]
Business deals often require a nimble mind and a quick tongue. Often times the first is required due to the second. If the comic doesn’t make sense, try saying it out loud or having someone else read it to you. Here is an interesting interview with Tarn Adams (the maker of Dwarf Fortress). My favorite [...]
The latest job application I filled out required a personality test which was quite thorough, though it wasn’t as tricky as the one in today’s strip. It didn’t give me a running total of pages or number of questions, but I’d estimate about 200 total questions. Afterwords it presented my personality with such fancy titles [...]
The recent unemployment announcement might make the politicians pat themselves on the back, but the rest of us in reality-land are still having a tough time. The HR departments and I like to play a little game where I spend an hour or so searching, updating my resume, and applying for jobs while they ignore [...]
Woohoo! Comic #20! Clap clap for me, everyone have a piece of cake (that was a lie). I’ve been moving away from the pen tool in Photoshop to just using my Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet to hand draw everything. Hopefully these changes are positive and not too many people will miss the square head look. [...]
As if not getting my news fix on April Fool’s wasn’t enough, the stock market was closed for Good Friday! You’d think someone wanted me to get out of the house or something equally nefarious. I’m going through major withdrawal while everyone is happily reading their tabloid articles and thinking just how good their Friday’s [...]
