Month / November 2019

Something I’ve been noticing the past few years. Maybe I’m wrong. Anything’s possible, after all. But I suspect there might be something to this.

Back in the day, Sunday strips seemed like the highlight of the week, and everybody brought their A-Game. Lately, it seems as if a lot of artists kind of phone in the Sunday gag.

Now, I’m not saying the overall quality of the strips have gone down, just that Sunday has been non-prioritized (along with Saturday, which has always been a dead zone).

And I’m thinking this might be because people are no longer reading Sunday comics in all their large, all-color glory: now almost all comics are in color seven days a week, and online comic readers might actually be less likely to read a Sunday comic than a weekday comic.

I wouldn’t submit this as hard evidence, of course, but I do know that Sunday traffic on CIDU is generally about half of Monday’s.

I don’t know… any thoughts?

[OT] Is there any way I can divorce Idiot Bill’s wife?

It was bad enough when she joined Netflix using his/my e-mail address: but now that she’s quit, Netflix is sending her/me two, three, sometimes four e-mails a day begging her to return.

Apparently you can quit the Mob (or Heath Ledger) easier than you can quit Netflix.

The funny thing is, Netflix provided me with a link with which I can re-instate her membership using her credit card number. I am tempted.

(I’m not sure whether I can use this same backdoor to get her credit card number, but it wouldn’t surprise me)
