Pro Tip!
If you get contacted by the Census Bureau to take part in their Household Pulse Survey, you should take that. After a bunch of questions about the topic of the week (mine were all about coronavirus, from employment and food security to plans put off and even depression), you get a free response field where you can type in whatever you want and they have to take notice of it.
After your name/demo details are stripped off, it becomes part of the data set and people can see what you were thinking! I don’t think that my response, above, was a surprise; I’m just sad that the display space given to the comment field wouldn’t hold my entire text block, but I think what you can see describes my feelings nicely.
In other news, merch:
- As I mentioned on the Twitters, I received an R Stevens original COMPUTERS PROFESSIONAL t-shirt for my birthday. What I didn’t mention is that I also received an I Square Pixels t-shirt, because a) my wife knows that I am an incorrigible nerd, and b) I have a number of shirts that are in need of retirement. Case in point, this shirt which has worn through directly along the bottom edge of the screenprint.
I have at least three others that are in need of retirement (which proclaim my allegiance to, respectively, electric sheep, Weinermobilivorous cephalopods, and greyhounds. Fortunately, Gritty has me covered (literally, in this case).
- And for those of you needing to keep track of the passage of time, may I suggest a calendar with bears on it? There’s also a calendar with whales on it, and my wife and I were only able to choose between the two with the help of two different specialty coins¹. Maybe you need more than one calendar and could get both!
There’s lots of other webcomics folk selling stuff — pretty much all of them — and they’re able to get you stuff at a distance thanks to the kindly services of the mail system. Do some holiday shopping, stay the hell away from malls, and support your favorite creators all at the same time.
Spam of the day:
Brain Molecule Contains Key To Terminate All Herpes Strains
Would this be the molecule that makes you not tell your partner that you’ve got herpes? That’s a shitty molecule.

¹ For those wondering, bears are land mammals, so they got the monkey side of the monkey/circus coin; whales are big like circuses, so they got the circus side. The yes/no coin was flipped a bunch of times just because it feels so good to flip it. Seriously, it’s a tactile pleasure.
I appreciate your sense of humour.
The word “sardonic” comes to mind, though I can’t be bothered to look it up to see if it really means what I think it means.
