I Scream...You Scream
It's Sunday.
Self-promotion.
Onto the comics.

At least we now know why the good doctor hasn't called. He doesn't know how to operate his cell phone. And all of Jenna's email (from her @charterstone.net address) immediately get sent, unread, into the spam folder.

I'm just fascinated by the synchronicity going on in these strips. Move on to the next comic.
The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee 7/18/10
The problem I have with people comparing Facebook and other social networking sites to Orwell's "1984" is that posted any and everything on Facebook is voluntary whereas Big Brother in "1984" was against everybody's will. You don't have to post stuff on Facebook or Twitter, however you do have to obey Big Brother.

Yeah, like your wimp of a father will protect you from a killer whale, great white shark, piranhas, jellyfish and octopi.

Hmm, I wonder what happened in Calvin's childhood that caused him to run off and create an entirely different identity. My guess is Calvin's parents let him roam around in the woods one too many times and Calvin was abducted. Or something happened to Suzie and it caused Calvin to become unhinged.
The Born Loser 7/18/10
Today is Ice Cream Day. Go out and get yourself some ice cream. Ice cream is good and good for you.* As for the comic: what? But if you are out of small, how can you still have medium and large? The mind...she hurts. I guess this could be a way to get people to spend more in these troubling economic times.
Or the ice cream man just wants a punch in the face.
*While ice cream is good, it is not necessarily good for you.

Per the "Born Loser": I think that was supposed to be the joke, especially looking at Brutus's face.
Eurgh. The thought that Calvin became Frazz is making me urp. But kudos to WYH for knowing Frazz' God-Tier-Mary-Sue backstory, and fitting it nicely into the strip.
(I'd like to think this "Whatcha Watchin'?" strip from F@nboy$ accurately depicts the ultimate fate of Frazz and his philosophy. Warning: a little sick.)
Re The Not-So-Brilliant Strip of Edison Lee: I think that Gramps' willing surrender of personal information to the Internet after decades of Fear of Big Brother was the ironic point John Hamfist was aiming for. However, willingly surrendering "I ate a donut and farted" is hardly the same as the data millions give up every day to, for example, Amazon.com, so the point is lost.
