Comic for January 9, 2009: Golly Gosh Gee Whillikers
You know that show Early Edition where the guy would keep getting TOMORROW’S newspaper TODAY? I always thought that maybe there was some other guy in the city who always got yesterday’s newspaper A DAY LATE. Where’s that guy’s show, is my point.
I always laugh at how they print the Sunday paper on Saturday night. What if something amazing happens at 7am when htey’ve finished printing? WHAT THEN?!
I guess there’s a reason we now have the news televised. It’s easier to just yell at someone to take a camera to X location on the double.
Hi.
Just wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed your comic and look forward to more. On a different note, it looks like your site navigation could use some work.
Back in the olden days, the newspapers had enough clout to ensure that all noteworthy news happened before 7am. If so much as a cat got stuck up a tree after then, it’d have Mister William Randolph Hearst to answer to.
Of course, now that all the newspapers are crumbling in the face of NEW MEDIA and CITIZEN JOURNALISM and OTHER BUZZWORDS, all that’s changing. News can happen at any time! (Although now if the cat gets stuck up a tree it had better be holding a sign with some adorable lolspeak on it.)
@ Edward: Glad to hear you’re enjoying the comic! Concerning the site navigation—do you have anything specific in mind? I’ve got some free time this upcoming week and would be happy to work on upgrading the site’s functionality.
Back in the olden days, newspapers used to be rich enough to put out “special editions” for late-breaking news, but radio and TV cut into the news audience, and newspapers had to settle for printing that news the next day.
As for today’s strip, Milo just doesn’t get it, does he?
Her face at the last scene is FANTASTIC. Good work fellers.
@ macsnafu: What do you expect? He’s a physicist, not a rocket scientist! Yuk yuk don’t hurt me
@ Orceiacum: It’s fun to see how many different ways you can inscribe “you are a doofus” into someone’s face.
