yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. I'm glad someone else is reading that comic.

One of the guest comics has him talking to the residence of the house. I approve.

This is how messed up the world I live in is.

First, read this

Yes, it's a comic. About a vacuum cleaner. Named spelling (his wife's name is Dictionary and his son is Homework) (yes, he has a wife and a son).

But that punchline was hilarious to me.

When I tried to explain to a co-worker, I naturally had to explain the whole premise.

Which, quite frankly, is hard to do with out some looks that clearly say "You are a one sick puppy."

I read that and had to go through the archives to read the backstory. However, once I'd done that, it was really funny. Seems like something I might like.

It was funny by itself. I don't feel the need to read the archives to understand it, heh.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

yeah, I read the whol archive today (like that's hard from work). Just a warning for those who choose to read the archive, he has a lot of language, a bit of sex (mostly appliance related) and I believe there may be some obscured nudity (I can't remember).

inter-appliance sexual relations. The main character is a vacuum. And he DOES have a son. Fortunately, it all happens off screen, though it is talked about on screen. Really, I guess that strip is rated R.

Both for sexual content and for being frickin weird.

It only SORT of applies here, but I found this vastly amusing.

If you want to be technical it is off the coast of italy, just way way off the coast of italy, and on the other side of the world and on the bottom. Still its not in Italy or directly on the coast.
Its an automated robot. Based on Science!

Jeff Rowlands comic/blog is classy. (actually, no it's not, but it does make a good and accurate, though vulgar, observation about the "inter-net"

Is that Dutch?

Also, it doesn't bother me, but the faint of heart may find the pictures a bit... disturbing.
