Kind of looks like Brewster Rockit (http://www.gocomics.com/brewsterrockit/#.UwubYuNdXSg) meets Dilbert meets Mystery Science Theater...

Steven L. Gotz Feb 24, 2014 2:25 PM (in response to John T Smith)OK, that just wasted my entire lunch hour. And I only got through about 200 of them.
Geez. That was way back in 1999. And it is still going? Oh man. What a serious waste of time.

So... did you bookmark where you ended so you can go back and start up again?
Remember... I did warn that it is addictive

8. Re: An Odd/Interesting SciFi "Graphic Novel" aka Cartoon Strip
Steven L. Gotz Feb 24, 2014 4:16 PM (in response to John T Smith)Yes, I bookmarked it. And yes, it is addictive. And yes, you warned me.
I will attempt to keep it a lunchtime activity only, and only when I am in the office during lunch hours. So it could take a few weeks to catch up.

Actually I was eating Ribeye steak. I usually grill three at a time. One to eat right then and two to slice reasonably thin to ieach for lunch. A low carb high protein diet requires a lot of steak.
Remember, the only diet that can possibly work is the one you can stick to. And a man who can't stick to a diet that includes steak, chicken and fish, isn't anyone I can really understand.

Oh good... I wouldn't want to be the cause of you spending ALL your time on that site, and then loosing your job, and then wanting to move in with ME because I was the "pusher" who got you addicted
If you have problems, I will see if I can find a 'cartoon strip 12 step program' to help
Just for reference, I saw mention at about episode 1,000 or so... and had to go back to the beginning

Ah, but I only eat one at a time. It is for my diet. I have lost over 40 pounds eating steak, chicken and seafood, eliminating sugar and flour. I splurge now and then, but not too often.

Bill Hunt Feb 26, 2014 8:02 AM (in response to Steven L. Gotz)Steven,
My wife is pushing a very low-sugar diet. I am cutting back in my morning coffee. Fortunately, I seldom do any sort of pop, or sugared drinks, so no biggie there, so long as I can cut back on sugar in the coffee. Now, she made a comment, the other day, about how the diet will not allow wine, for like the first two months. I think that she was perhaps out in the sun too long, as she was speaking nonsense...
I'll ask her about more steak.

I would just drop the subject completely .. dont ask about steak or NOTHIN ... and hope the subject of diet never comes up again...

Steven L. Gotz Feb 26, 2014 1:12 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)There is a candy store in Sacramento's Old Town area that sells lots of taffy and other candy. They have a decent sized Sugar-Free section that even includes Peanut-Butter bars and Chick-O-Sticks among others...
What really helps is Sugar-Free Jello. Add a little 5 calorie per serving Ready Whip Whipped Cream (using about 40 calories worth) and you have a decent dessert. My wife finds it on sale at Walgreens and goes nuts buying every bix that she can at every Walgreen's around town. Because I eat about a box or day or more. So it could get pricey.
Our local Lucky's market carries a Sugar-Free sponge cake that is perfect for Strawberry Shortcake using the aforementioned Whipped Cream.
I drink a Protein Drink every day for lunch. I had to hold my nose at first but now I actually look forward to drinking the chocolate shake. 160 calories, 24 vitamins and minerals, low fat and only 1 gram of sugar. I get them at Costco - Premier Protein is the name.

leekarven Feb 26, 2014 5:59 PM (in response to John T Smith)Like you said, this is indeed addictive, but also brought us a lot of fun. I love it as much as I like to watch cartoons same. I love cartoons, almost cartoon toys will buy appropriate after reading every cartoon, cartoon look I recently bought toys: miyazaki series toys.

Edit to add: But I worry when we've lost track of Sam for this long. Who knows what the devil he's been up to in the meantime...

John T Smith Mar 11, 2014 8:55 AM (in response to OldBob1957)Well, with all that "possibly phantom" money floating around, I'm sure Sam is hard at work trying to figure out a way to make some stick to his "fingers"

... Whilst being chased by a mob. Sam doesn't seem really happy unless he gets chased by at least one mob each day. In fact, I believe he's said something to that effect a time or two.

Steven L. Gotz Apr 24, 2014 2:12 PM (in response to Steven L. Gotz)I just caught up.
OK. Now I am hooked. And it isn't like this is a daily comic.
So, I am thinking I will set an alarm in my calendar to read it once each week. Maybe start my Mondays with it.
