It’s a sad day. Last night we lost a proponent for the advancement of free thinking. No, not a political dignitary or enlightened do-gooder or innercity tree hugger. George Carlin. One could not listen to more than 20 words from his mouth without thinking. Granted, you may think he’s a dirty old man, but you thought for yourself! He died in Santa Monica, CA of heart failure at the age of 71. He will be missed.
If you’re unfamiliar with his work you should look into his stand up comedy. You can find it all over YouTube. Just look for his name. Some of his funnier (albeit smaller) roles were actually in the Kevin Smith films Dogma and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.
So the boys just found out that Mr. Carlin has died. Again, priorities skewed, a decision has been made. Well, by Zed. And rarely has a decision been made by Zed that Ted didn’t follow kicking and screaming. But Zed has it in his half-decayed mind that he needs to get to California and he needs to get there fast!
I leave you with this final nugget of joy. If you have virgin ears or are younger than 17, then please read no further. For I am about to pass on Mr. Carlin’s wisdom: The Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television. And those words are:
Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits.
And thanks to everyone for all your well-wishes and concerned emails. I feel SOOO much better! Apparently I was able to fight off that pesky solanum virus. I swear, I have the constitution of a cockroach! For those of you unfamiliar with the “solanum virus”, I recommend you rush out and pick up a copy of Max Brooks’ The Zombie Survival Guide. You should find it misshelved in the “HUMOR” section…
So time for some real news! I’ve finally got my schedule up and running. I’m ahead by a week now (yay) and will have new comics updated regularly. New comic days will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Yeah, I know this sounds familiar…
“But, MAC! We’ve heard this all before! How can we trust you?!”
Well just take my word for it! I’ve got a new secret weapon in my arsenal! The only problem may be with my internet connection. It’s been on the fritz lately, so that may push things back to VERY late in the night, but they should still be coming 3 days a week. Just keep checking back. I’m sure you’ll be pleasently surprised! Unless, of course, you already believe me. Then you’ll be like, well, he said he was updating! Hope he doesn’t want a cookie…
