I enjoy being a crank. Really.

Jump Start, 7/29/04

When I got to the last panel of this strip today, I thought to myself, “Uh-oh. Is that my future?”

Then I realized: it’s my present. I hope you all appreciate it.

    Don’t ask me why I was browsing the Jump Start page… I mean who likes Jump Start? Jump Start is usually just filler, anyway my point is… there is only one comment, and it simply contains the word “first”.

    That, combined with the fact that the entry says “I hope you all appreciate it” and got only one response, 13 months later, and it was such a lame response. Made me laugh.

    I appreciate that. Thank you.

    And know that, thanks to the “random page” button and a little bit of weed, it’s still being read today!

    And what strange work is being tested here? Comments half-formed from the bodies of the undead? Arcane rites to be unleashed like savage beasts upon a mute and uncomprehending populace?

    RSS feeds: blessing. . . . and curse!

    Let’s test all day. Can you hear me? Can you see me? Can you read this?

    Yes, Charlotte, I can read you.

    Josh, this is some good stuff you’re doing.

    Message from the future: We enjoy you being a crank, too, Noodlefoot. I can’t wait to call you on it when you repeat this joke in 2008.

    The funniest thing, to me, is the idea that a legacy comic author doesn’t recycle gags except once every thirty years or so. It’s pretty obvious from a cursory glance at just about any gag strip featured heavily on this site that the gags get re-mined every few months.

    I think it is very likely that there hasn’t been an original gag in a gag strip in the last 30 years.
