Comic of the Day

WetGeek

I can't find the original thread, after clicking on "Load more" about 12 times, and it was getting pretty long anyway. Maybe if we contribute more often to this one, we'll be able to find it more easily when we want to. Or we can just let it die, I suppose.

Here's today's from Dilbert that exposes one of Wally's personality flaws quite clearly.

WetGeek

Some of us have been waxing philosophical lately, and today's SMBC seems to fit.

brent

WetGeek my brain has been in that mobius loop , hands on face like the comic! I need less waxing, more waning🙂

WetGeek

Once again SMBC comes through with a winner.

WetGeek

Apparently Dilbert managed to avoid the crypto fad. His boss didn't.

WetGeek

The letter thorn.

WetGeek

This is another one from SMBC that I thought was really good.

WetGeek

Dilbert: how to avoid cancer.

Possibly NSFW from SMBC, but this isn't a work day for most of us.

WetGeek

And another good one today. SMBC just keeps on keepin' on.

WetGeek

And yet another. Am I the only one here who reads web comics?

This is exactly what our local "leadership" was telling us one year when the show packs in the Cascades were a bit below normal. Just don't forget the "if it's brown, flush it down" part.

WetGeek funny with a(n) accidental sinister layer to it. I also remember the "yellow/mellow" first part of that 'song'. For those more rural folks, off the city sewer grid, with septic tanks of their own, that was a religious mantra, regardless of the snowpack context. In the west they've said we've been in a drought for 40 years....despite record snow and rainfalls----and record days of no rain or no snow and record high temps to balance it out. In other words, a tale of two extremes. Climate change has little to do with scientists and mean temperatures anymore and has devolved, to me, into 100% politics so I stay out of it mostly.

I never mader that connection. I need to look up the lyrics of that song and really appreciate it for the first time.

brent

WetGeek not a song but a way of life for the septic tank cabin dwellers: "if it's yellow let it mellow/if it's brown flush it down".
yuck I know🙂

WetGeek

brent a way of life for the septic tank cabin dwellers

There are probably millions more like me. I was born in a city, grew up in a city, was educated in a city, worked in a city, moved to a better city, and that's where I am today. I know what a sceptic tank is, and what it does, but one's never been a part of my life.

It might actually benefit a lot more of us urbanites to follow that mantra, water shortage or not. I know my water/sewage bill is based on the amount of water we use. I argued at one time that the water we use keeping the lawn and garden alive, or washing the car, has nothing to do with the sewers, but I didn't get anywhere with that.

I'm guessing that if a lot of us who don't need to adopt that regimen did so anyway, it could save us a lot of money. Until our rates were raised due to less demand.

That's what happened to us during that period that I mentioned, and I don't recall that they ever went down subsequently.

brent

WetGeek yeah I was just saying how I remember the origin of that saying. not much beyond that.

WetGeek It might actually benefit a lot more of us urbanites to follow that mantra, water shortage or not.

agree ^^ with that completely

WetGeek

I can't help it -- I'm still laughing at this one from SMBC.

WetGeek

Today's SMBC is another good one.

WetGeek the push for plain language is a joke that can keep writing itself...I applaud their incentive...although for that particular comic, 'colorectal center' likely more succinct🙂
