The Return of Stickman #1086


I can’t help but wonder at the quality level of these purchased friends. What if all these friends lived in Nigeria and are widows of a cabinet secretary with lots of mullah hidden away in a bank account that only you can help get access? Or what if all they tweet about is about enhancement pills? I’ve a hard enough time keeping spammers off of my twitter without purchasing them. Besides, your social networking friends should be people who are your friends and acquaintances. What I like about twitter is that they don’t use the word friends; they use the word “followers”. I like that terminology a lot better.

The Return of Stickman #1085


I want to thank Chris Gordon for sending in this guest strip. Chris does a vile little comic that doesn't give a sod about political correctness. Only go see it if you want to be appalled Apathy Unlimited.

The Return of Stickman #1084


I have a few friends on Facebook who send me messages in Spanish. Since I don't speak Spanish I rely on internet translator programs. As you might have guessed, they are not the most accurate translations.

The Return of Stickman #1082


This factoids for today's strip came out of a plumber's newsletter. The whole drinking from the tap to save the planet, that came from a commercial. The snarky attitude, that's all Stickman, Baby!

The Return of Stickman #1081


This year has actually been quite good to me. It certainly has been kinder to me than to several of my friends. Some of my friends lost their homes this year, others filed for bankruptcy, some had to do both. A few lost their spouse through separation, divorce and death. So this strip is not for me, it's for all of those who want desperately to put this year behind them.
