2003 really did sound pretty space agey. 2007 is pretty unremarkable though.

Any of the years in this decade sound futurey if you pronounce it "twenty-oh-(number)".

We've become bored with the new millenium.

When they deliver my goddamned flying car I'll start paying attention

Flying cars are the best/worst idea ever. Air highways would be the most dangerous places imaginable. As dangerous as a Puerto Rican woman with a box-cutter.

No, there would be vertical lanes. You gotta start thinkin' 3D if you're gonna make it in this millenium.

I was thinking more about when a car breaks down and instead of easing gently onto the shoulder of the road, the flaming wreckage hurtles out of the sky like a meteor with a Chevy logo stamped on it into a crowd full of orphans that was going to Disneyland so they could feel joy for the first time.

Noooo!

I just want you to know:

I created an account just so I could chubby you.

Reading this comment in the middle of a crowded room awarded me many curious stares as I tried in vain to stifle my paroxysm of laughter. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and wish you all the finest things in this world

Chubby for "paroxysm of laughter." That is a phrase which should be applied at all possible occasions.

Are the orphans also handicapped/retarded?

Yes, that's why their parents don't want them.

Their parents can't want anything...

WHEN THEY'RE DEAD!

Good catch.

Would this now be the saddest thing?

This asset is made just that much better when paired with such a Beeflike avatar. Luke Chueh, right? Or just something similar?

This is indeed Luke Chueh's work. The painting is called Gero-Hero and was made when he was asked to contribute to a Batman themed art show.

I did not remember this strip, but I remembered exactly, exactly this particular asset.

Rawk On.

YES. I Want My Jet Pack.

Wait until you hit 2009. The feeling has worn off here.

I do like me some tasty Subway.

I love you Vlad, but seriously, we need to lynch Jared.

God this is such a good arc.

This is my favorite arc, I am pretty sure.

The thing that always gets me with Vlad: the Slavic/English bastard language he's made. "Hank" is awesome. "Goot" is also pretty rockin'.

Hanking Jared correctly is crucial to the success of your franchise.

In Subway's defense, El Camino Real is 600 miles long.

Why hank Jared poster when you can just hank Jared?

ok ok i may be really stoned here but i just imagined Vlad saying that
"where to? Hank Jared Poster"
you see hes talking TO the poster
the posters name is Hank Jared Poster
hes asking the poster where it wants to go you see?
man i hope they give awards for blowing peoples minds

I wish I could simultaneously chubby and lame this comment

I had mixed feelings too, but it made me laugh and was pretty harmless, so...chubby'd.

Your post implies that text on the internet can be something other than harmless. Example?

kiddie porn. MANY others, that was just the one that jumped to mind.

Kiddie porn isn't text. Unless you're referring to ASCII kiddie porn. Which doesn't exist.

...yet.

Damn that's hot.

That ASCII sketch looks like Dr. Zoidberg. So it's more Crustacean-Porn, or soft-crustacean porn (which in itself is a bit fucked up if you start introducing the idea of removing exoskeletons as a fetish).

No, really, what's wrong with me?

HUGE UNCUT CRUSTACEAN JERK BOYS LIVE!!

When the person reading that text is not prepared for internets.
You know, cyberbullying and such. (I hate that word.)

Why does Jared still draw breath that rightfully belongs to the rest of us? For some truly great shits and giggles you guys should see the episode of Robot chicken where Jared flips out and eats himself back to obesity in under ten minutes. It truly rules.

Vlad, the answer is clearly in the furnace.

Lyle's uncle didn't die. That is totally a lie he's telling Cornelius.
