Some random retro LOLs

This next one depends on remembering when Lars von Trier and friends declared the Dogme 95 principles for filmmaking. (And probably does not require remembering the Kevin Smith film Dogma.)

With this December 2011 Brevity, we’re getting a bit into OYs.

And we interrupt our parade of Oldies to drop in a Duffy Lug Nuts on the same theme from current GoComics publication:

The sine qua non

In this 2009 PC and Pixel, it seems to be Pixel from within his carrier dispensing the wisdom. But what is he agreeing with? That computer customers just want Internet connectivity? Or want no options so they need not make decisions?

And what is grabbing everyone’s attention?

Continuity, please?

And by the bye, is “More’s Law”
an accidental typo for “Moore’s Law” ;
an intentional misspelling, meant to direct us to think about some actual person named “More” ;
or an intentional misspelling, meant to direct us to the concept of having more rather than less?

Note that the quote about loneliness and solitude is from poet Marianne Moore. But if that’s what’s meant, it would still be Moore not More. So if it were written here as “More’s Law” there might be a joke that the Girl takes it to mean Marianne Moore rather than the late Gordon Moore.

But we can’t really make that emendation, as we would lose the relevance of “more” to the idea of the biggest milkshake. Which is itself still in need of some explication.
