that's a funny coincidence and yes this is the one, the final four panels hit especially hard, I love it so much.

yeah ones that either aren't actually useful as trucks/clearly never used as trucks because totally pristine. when one of my brothers was doing an apprenticeship as an electrician he went on a long tear about to me, about how the truck market was all janky now, made it harder to get a work truck.

@tommchenry.bsky.social I want you to know I thought again today of your comic, I think titled "you must improve your Garf" at a moment when I low key needed it! (It's been posted on my office wall for years, I'm at a coffee shop rn but it just lives in my brain.) I hope you're keeping well!

100% and I relate. sorta like what I call chess club jocks (nerds who internalized bullying and went 'I'm gonna KICK YOUR ASS at math!') Nothing wrong with being a nerd but uncritically identifying w/ macho tropes they fail at is sad. Similar contempt for the faux-pickup truck drivers of the world.

The response to the protests at UCLA were more complete expressions of classical fascism than anything the Trump administration has yet offered. There were literal non-state paramilitary formations cracking heads.

So one key part of the venture capitalists thinking taking over the world is as a mode of production they don’t understand the idea that people can decide not to buy a product

Silicon Valley: We have invented The Plagiarism Machine, it will replace all creative endeavors!

Capitalism: Awesome, let’s get rid of all the creatives and use The Plagiarism Machine!

Also Capitalism: Oh no, all The Plagiarism Machine does is plagiarize, let’s get creatives to fix it!

I've never tried but someone I know whose judgment I trust says it's really cool.

Honey, don't even tell me that 2005 was 20 years ago, that's just not possible. That would mean that 1995 was 30 years ago, and obviously that's absurd. Of course, 1985 was 40 years ago, that's just obvious.

oh maybe experiment with fermenting some of it!

I think probly the wider the range of ways you put them away the more fun it'll be later, though obviously that means more work now too.
