The System 264
I looked around and through all the “chart jokes” I could find, I didn’t find one like this. Wonder where I would chart, considering I made the graph and the comic about the graph? For that matter, where are YOU on the graph?

i skipped the 'programs specialized reading engine' and actually went on to make my own comic. though as with most of my efforts, it was rather abortive.

I have to say that yes I read comics when I'm bored at work (and ironically one set of particular cartoons have become apart of my weekly routine) - HOWEVER in my defense they are political cartoons AND it started b/c part of my job is to keep abreast of political news and policy soooooo I frequently check newsfeeds of major networks and MSNBC highlights some of the best on there "the week in political cartoons".
(and whats really sad is not only did I take the time to comment on this but leave a fairly lengthy comment - eh thats august for ya)
- love your comics though!

Well, think about it, creating a graph is actually a form of work. Who knows, you might have to create one for a project–you never know. Of course, I don't think I would show it to your boss as an example of how proficient you are at creating them.
I would like to see some sort of timeline on it just so I know how it progresses. Plus it is an upward graph which is generally speaking, a good thing.
Good use of your time. Now spending time on this might make better use of your "reading room" time if you take a laptop w/you (of course I don't suggest letting anyone see you taking it w/you; might want to hide it under your shirt).

Ok, so just how many of us *have* written their own comic reader? (Or done it twice, and early version in Delphi and a complete rewrite in VB.NET?) This afternoon's run began with:

I've been at 'Blogs About Comics' and 'Considers Writing Comics' lately… not going to program any specialized engines though…

There is a "Gödel's incompleteness theorem" joke in here. I just can't place it.

Where would I be with over 40 comics I check daily and over 100 I check everytime I *know* they update (As in, checking 3 times a week for the m/w/f comics). This being AFTER I lost my whole favorites list due to some nasty viruses that forced me to re-format.
As a note, I'm actually working with a couple friends to start up our own webcomic… but I stay away from blogs…

Let me know how that turns out!
