  1. Hey, what happened to the “Published once perhaps in any given month sometimes” update schedule?

  2. I don’t get it.

  3. Why is Linus calling everyone a ring of muscle that conscricts to open or close natural openings of the body such as the lower end of the stomach?

  4. I thought that we were a little grown up for Wayne’s World references …

  5. I noticed that the Liar in Chief was quite uncomfortable during the Colbert roast. Serves him right to have someone at last tell it to his face, even if it was in a bit round-about way.

    Kate, you’ve obviously don’t know many nerds. “Little grown up” is just about right.

  6. You’re crazy Mr. Buch!!! and all you are stupid too.

  7. Seventh Post w00t!

  8. Whoa, poor kate. Guess she never noticed that when someone tells you to ‘grow up’ they really mean ‘stop growing.’

    Last frame is awesome!!!

    Also, ‘ping -98.186.202.135′ yeilds a TTL exceeded ICMP error, and nothing at that address answers DNS queries.

  10. Bad edit, damnit. Make that 198.186.202.135.. (still doesn’t answer ping or DNS queries)

  12. Is that a star spangled rubber ducky on Linus’s shirt? ROFLMAO!

    John, I’m touched you’re trying out my ideas from the wiki. That’s worth more chuckles (to me at least) than you’d imagine. The strip just adds to the chuckle factor. :-)

    Keep up the good work. It’s funny!

  13. PJ: Yeah that’s your Star Spangled Rubber Ducky idea on the shirt. I thought it was rather clever (I wonder if anyone understood it). Sorry that I forgot to credit you there.

  14. You’re never tool old for Wayne’s World.
