I’m trying out a new time for when the blog auto-updates with the comic post. I’ll still upload the comic to the site on Thursday nights, but figure Friday morning in the US is a better time for it to pop up in peoples’ RSS readers. Besides, the West Coast and beyond have been enjoying BFW before bed on Thursdays for too long! The website clearly says “Updates Every Friday!” You guys were cheating.

But it’s an experiment that will have to wait a couple weeks. I’m leaving for a two-week road trip starting tomorrow and updates will depend entirely on when I can find the internet amongst the gators, Piggly Wigglies, and racists of the South. Man, oh man, I can’t wait to get away from this abusive asshole.

Next Week: More Recession Recipes

Bonus Timewaster: After posting the cartoon, Rockwell informed me of an online Oregon Trail emulator.

    As a West Coast reader I object strongly!

    You can still visit the site before you put your pretty little West Coast head to bed on Thursday nights. Just no companion blog post until the next morning.

    *pushes glasses up* Um, excuse me. “GNU” and “GNOME” do not contain periods in their names. They are acronyms, however.

    (GNU stands for “GNUs Not Unix”, a recursive acronym. GNOME used to stand for “GNU Network Object Model Environment”, but now it doesn’t stand for anything.)

    I know, I know, but comics are in ALL CAPS, so I had to distinguish.

    That Wookie glove looks like it could do some damaged if things got a little rough. On the other hand, so to speak, being able to shove a stick in it for backscratcher duty more than makes up for that.

    And the toaster. I don’t like it. Now that I’m in my 40’s, if there’s gonna be something in my house that’s younger, hotter, and pops up more often than me, it should just shut the hell up about it.
