"Cooped Up"

Sorry for the long delay between comics. We recently got a PS3 and a big ass TV, so now we're perpetually watching Netflix and playing video games. Who's got time to goof off on the internet when there's so much entertainment to be had!

But seriously, remember the old days when you could still watch a show even though the reception wasn't great? Sometimes you could get a sexy channel and make out just enough picture and just enough sound. Nowadays it's all or nothing. If there's no picture, there's no sound.

A conversation that Inna and I always have is criticizing the companies who advertise "we can help you save money, buy our book or watch our program." Of course, step one is always to identify what you're spending on stuff you don't need. Usually it's some kind of cable TV. Really? Who NEEDS it? I'm sure you know someone out there who's barely making it, yet they've got all the channels they'll never need plus the premium channels they'll never watch. Then you see that they've all got fancy cell phones...really?

Anyway, chickens need TV too.

Merry Christmas to you all from me and my family.

One of the things we did as a family over Christmas was to go bowling. We like hanging out as a family, but for the first time we actually did stuff as a family. Two trips to the movies, bowling, eating out a couple times, drinking and playing Wii. Like whoa! We must be entering a new era in the development of our family. What's going to happen when the kids start bringing home their kids.

That's too far in the future to imagine (though, not really).

Also, I think Jay really won the game.

I was initially planning to make some comics while I was visiting my family up in Oregon this Christmas. But wouldn't you know it? I forgot my camera's computer cable. Oh well. Now you all get to relive my vacation.

Tonight's comic is partially true...except that I wasn't sitting next to a fat guy. Instead, the guy was really muscly armed. So muscly armed that his biceps were practically punching me in the face by just being there.
