Overfishing is a serious problem that needs more patrolling and more resources.

Incidentally, if you are wondering about the reality of the scenario in this comic, the robots involved overcame the limitations of the three laws of robotics. This permitted them to harm humans. Ironically, it was the magnetic fields present in the factories where humans put them to work that altered their positronic brains in a way that dissolved the requirement to adhere to the three laws, while keeping the remainder of the brain intact.

Bathos, by the way, is a literary device used to create an anticlimax, or an irony that draws attention away from the humour. Yep.

I should probably also say I was kind of thinking this way after reading a bunch of “Cyanide and Happiness” comics, which has a particular bathetic style.

What’s the best college for linguistics? I bet you’ve wondered. Well, to anyone in the biz, that answer is clear.

Wow! Viscount “Lord” Monckton is coming to Australia to tell us all he knows about climate change and science and stuff! Did you know that, according to Monckton, human-made climate change doesn’t exist, greenhouse gases are good for us, and environmentalists are actually communists plotting to destroy the West?

Whoah - I can’t believe I didn’t even realise that people I worked and fraternised with were actually communists wanting to destroy my country! Man, they fooled me good.

What a really lucky thing we have Monckton, the Lord and scientist to tell us the truth!

Oh wait, actually he’s not really a Lord. Oh wait, actually he’s not a scientist either.

Hm, apparently the force to his arguments is founded solely on his amazing ability for bombast.

Still, right wing loonies all over the country must be going crazy with anticipation, itching to hear someone confidently repeat what they wish was true. They even raised the money to bring him here.

It’s just like the other day when I said “What a shame 3000 people were killed in the WTC disaster. I wish that the 9-11 attack never happened.” So I typed “9-11 never happened” into google to check. And whoah, guess what, apparently it never did happen! I feel much better now.

Anyway, here is a new comic to ‘celebrate’ the visit of this ridiculous man to our increasingly ridiculous country.

Don’t worry. Despite the frightening realism of this picture, the comic itself isn’t that scary.  Or is it?

Colour? Phht, that’s for loser slowpokes.

Drawing with photoshop and graphics tablets? Phht, that’s for, um, loser photoshop guys with graphics tablets.

Actually, I used to have a graphics tablet. It bit the dust. But I see this development as a sign that I should stop wasting time mucking around with colour and graphics and just upload lower quality scribbles to the site. No really, that’ll be better. Maybe I can even add more than one post a year.

Here’s a little taste of the kind of art that’ll soon be gracing this site:

Oh yeah!

Perhaps even more amazing is that - whoah! - the site is actually back on line! There was this unfortunate down time for the last year, during which I lay on the carpet.

I guess the first comic on this site is really a metafiction thing as well. “What? The character is late for the joke, so I don’t get to hear it? This comic just BLEW MY MIND.”
