I remembered this strip and it’s hard for me to believe that’s it’s already been 4 years since I did it. Seems like it was just months ago. But then, I also remember that I was so struck by that quote that I used it in my novel Ashes to Ashes (see it at http://garisonfitch.com/book/ashes-to-ashes-the-last-valley-book-1)
I really thought about getting a bigger TV at Christmas, when they were ostensibly “on sale”, but then it occurred to me that the big, flat screen TV I have works just fine. Maybe next year.
I remember taking piano lessons and one of the many problems with my playing was that metronomes had absolutely no affect on my ability to pick a rhythm and stay on it.
I never watched “Dukes” while it was new. A few months ago, I watched an episode on Amazon Prime. Entertaining … but dumb! I’ve watched a few more since then, and my opinion hasn’t changed. BTW, “binge-watching” for me means that in the last 6 months I have watched 8 episodes.
Actually, there are people who object if you put ketchup on mashed taters. I have no idea why. Probably says something about the lack of parenting they received as a child.
