the duck never skips a beat, but we have to wait for weeks on end for some blather? i call shenanigans.For background, in case you don't know, I also do a blog about Mallard Fillmore which just makes me so irritated every day that I almost have to write something about it. That's what the duck reference is about.
I confess that I have been taking a break from this blog. Whereas it takes 5 minutes to dash off a post about Mallard Fillmore, since that's shooting fish in a barrel, it takes at least an hour every night to write up something to say about The Dinette Set. Not to mention figuring out just what to say about it. And with the current pace at my work and travel, The Dinette Set became a bit of a burden.
Plus, truth be told, I have come to despise the characters in this comic so much I often just can't bring myself to even think about them.
I see three possibilities for this blog from here.
- I may re-charge my batteries on it and come back.
- I may find a shorter-form version of commenting on it; something that takes less time to conceive and articulate and maybe something that invites more reader commentary. I'd be open to suggestions from readers about that. At one point I though of just doing a sub textual commentary, a'la Joe Mathlete, but he's so damned brilliant, I don't want to thieve his idea, and how many days in a row can you actually get away with just saying: "Burl is an asshole."
- I may give up. I don't want to do that precisely "because stuff like this should not go without comment."

sup yo. i am that shenanigans-calling commenter. i wasn't aiming to annoy, i just can't even bring myself to READ tds without your commentary.
i guess i'm saying i vote for more. but, if it annoys you a bunch, then forget about it. it's certainly not worth losing sleep over.
No worries. I wasn't annoyed at all. I'd been meaning to post an explanation and you gave me the perfect excuse.
Please don't choose #3! This is my favorite blog. Stuff like this definitely shouldn't go without comment, and you do a great job of it.
Have you ever seen the movie "The Aristocrats?" It's about the filthiest joke ever told. I made a Dinette Set aristocrat joke with Microsoft paint. I can email it to you if you want and it might inspire you. I'll never actually post it on the web because I don't want to get arrested/lynched/deported.
