I figured out why last strip was short: It was an error in cutting my paper.  Oops.  Oh, well.

I never get tired of how these guys rationalize things.  They’re really good at finding blame elsewhere.  If they allowed a bad product to get out there, it’s because people asked for it.

Really, can you blame them?  As big shareholders in Sonny Records (yes, a huge conflict of interest) they’re just looking for profits to go up.  Every indulgence we allow ourselves, some marketer somewhere is watching.  If there’s a market, there’s bound to be products and salesmen.  Every time you watch a reality show?  They know.  Well, they don’t know, really, but they statistically model.  They know in a the-Force-hey-a-planet-just-blew-up-maybe feeling, not in a Big Brother, point of fact way.

It’s a rare person who is a true individual, and odds are they aren’t reading comics on the web.  We as a society have done this to ourselves.
