Poor News Guy. I guess no one told him that today was Rabbit Hole Day!!!
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
What more need be said?
The nice thing about running a Gag-a-Day type comic is that I can change my plans at the spur of the moment. Meaning that having seen the outpouring of support for Pushing Daisies, today’s planned script gets bumped to Sunday in order to make room for one final thought on the matter.
Not to worry, this won’t become a Save Pushing Daisies site (there already is one)… I certainly don’t want to be accused of pandering, either. However, with all the emails I’ve received in the last two days about people’s love of the show, I’ve found myself in a rather unusual situation. I’ve found hope. Hope that a large fan movement (something more than an internet petition, please) just might make enough noise to get PD brought back at least for one more season and a proper ending to the narrative.
And who knows… if it works, maybe it won’t be a just a giant blueberry pie, maybe we can make the executives eat a large helping of Humble Pie…
Just a thought…
Woohoo! Corporate sponsorship! Now all the big bucks are going to finally start rolling in… Well, maybe not, but all of these gifts are available at Target. Who knows, maybe Target is looking to spread their marketing campaign into the webcomic world (only the first one is free, guys).
In any case, I’m a bit ashamed to say that I have actually purchased all of these gifts at one time or another in the name of being the cool Uncle. I’m sure they didn’t mind the noise, blood or mess…
Ah…the annual migration of the Chia Pets. What more sure sign that Christmas has arrived could there be? I have to ask, though. I’ve never seen a Chia Pet outside of it’s natural habitat, which is to say the front shelves at Walgreens. As they return year, after year, after year, somebody must be buying them. Is it you? Where are these things going and what are people doing with them? I should check the PBS listings… maybe there is a documentary or something about these guys…
I’m sitting here in the house I grew up in watching Going My Way while the turkeys thaw. My family is gathered around me and all seems well with the world. There is time to worry about life’s troubles on another day. Tonight and tomorrow I bask in the little things, and it is the little things that I’m thankful for today.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Thanks for stopping by!
I know… two Detroit 3 comics in a row, but it’s important and it’s happening now, so there it is.
I’m sure that this effort currently being debated will fail, but I’m also pretty sure that once it does, we’ll see an Economic Stimulus loan package being provided to the automotive manufacturers. There are a lot of jobs on the line, and letting them fail is a big risk. I still think that letting the incompetent fail to make room for someone else is a good thing, but I’m also a realist. One way or another, we’ll all be writing a check to Detroit.
Now, these are, of course, loans, so I do hope that they at least have the good sense to write a good contract.
Of course it isn’t all management’s fault. The workers and the unions will have to make a few concessions. I’m not going to attack there union here (I have no desire to be whacked, after all), but if the unions want guaranteed pay, benefits and jobs for the workers, then they need to focus on putting quality first. No more spark plugs installed without setting gaps, no more missing gaskets and no more engines assembled with cracked heads. (And that’s only been *my* new car buying experience.) The industry can no longer afford an “If in doubt, ship it anyway” attitude. A job is either done right or wrong. If you do a poor job, expect to be treated accordingly.
In any case, I’d like to replace my Jeep but since all of my money seems to be tagged to bailout the banks and Detroit, I guess it’ll just have to wait…
“Yes, Brittany. We’ll stop by the store and pick up your copy of Tales this evening.”
“No, Brittany, you have to do your homework first!”
“Yes, Brittany. You DO have to stop for dinner…”
“That’s enough! It’s bedtime! Turn the bloody game OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
