Most of us are destined to be spectators


NEWS RELEASE

The cartooniverse tried but failed to field a team for the 2012 Olympic games. No sooner did the team receive their foreign-designed and manufactured uniforms, they discovered none of their practiced events are offered at the Olympics. However, the team is not bitter that the Olympic organization only recognizes obsessive-compulsive physical prowess fueled by rank commercialism. Team Captain, Judge Knott said, “Because there seems to be a strong fashion element to the Olympics, we thought our unique designer uniforms would be worth something.” He was upbeat when asked about what they would do next. “At least we got some new clothes to wear on Halloween or weddings or other special occasions.” The team agreed to model their ‘pinstripe/tie-dye’ uniforms before returning to their beer and couches to watch the events. The team members' specialties are listed above their pictures.

"The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression."

~Gary Larson

If you are an avid Far Side fan you need no other information than the above sentence to conjure, in your mind's eye, a 'Larsonesque' image of a down and out nerd being visited by a pathetic chicken to make his life even more miserable. This is why Gary has probably had more of an impact on our psyche than most U.S. presidents.

Ch 1 Episode 3 The cartoonist designs some characters



Scott Adams, the creator of the comic strip Dilbert, has two college degrees and is a member of Mensa. It's trivia like that that makes the Judge Knott cartoonist feel like he'd have better luck as a used bubble gum sculptor.

For the immediate future Mondays will be days off for the Judge Knott crew. But tomorrow is a key turning point in the saga of the cartooniverse so don't go too far.
