These really suck.

And Josh already commented on three of them!

But I'm done with my homework (including a paper that has been weighing on me but is done, done, done, DONE! The rough draft, at least, but any suggestions will just be a second coat of paint, nothing too hard.) for the weekend - despite two classes tomorrow.

Can I just say I love college?

That's why this comic is such a joy to analyze.

Monday's mediocrity - Who doesn't? They give those things away all the time, at least to my recollection. I have a red pen that is sponsored by some drug or other, and I discovered during once class while taking it apart (I've broken a couple that way) that the white casing with the drug name could be removed and do no harm to the pen and ink, just the look.

It's been a while since I've had a drug notepad, but I know we did. My dad and his wife have so many, because they're old or because they're cops, I don't know, I don't care. These things are ads, and they are so damn prevalent, but hey, no need to buy a pen.

Tuesday's torture -

He looks so sad. That's not fair.

He knows his weight is keeping him from middle management, and that hurts.

It says "middle management" because he has a lot of weight at the middle of his body, but it would make a bigger difference if he was a leaner animal with a potbelly. A better visual, I think.

Though a depressed, fat Rhino is what Pluggers is all about!

Wednesday's wailing -
I love her response. She is so not happy with the bag. Or the gift-giver's hat. Let me just say that I've only done this for small, spontaneous gifts, and those are rarely from Wally-World.

Besides, save the bag - they make great trash bags for small cans, for delivering the scooped poop to the trashcan as neatly as possible, and keep wet or dirty clothes from getting your bag or clean clothes dirty - the camping accessory no one talks about.

Why is she wearing an apron on a gift-giving occasion? Sexist, Mister Brookins!

And today's bilge -
People who were adults in 1941 could not possibly have the same amount of hair now that they did then! So yeah, if you have the same wig, it's not changing.

Or what, a classically trained stylist?

I don't get the '41 date, that's just weird, because I've seen pictures of women in the late '30s and early '40s, and I don't recall seeing enough like that so it screams "1941!!!" That looks almost like real hair, but not quite. Of course, that doesn't look like a real creature, so...


My next assignment - mock the upcoming weekend's waste daily.
