Scheduling Conflict

This week's post almost didn't happen because I'm having a scheduling problem of my own, that plus a desk-top computer that keeps switching itself off. Grrrrr

Today's number one is this relevant posting. To be fair it wasn't my favourite until I had my own scheduling problems and now it is. Spooky or What?

Standing still for budgeting dummies

A bit crazy, but food trucks take quite a bit of capital to set up. They aren't just bigger versions of delivery cars.

Piñata Drivers with a Gherkin

This week I've found some oldies but goodies. Jokes that are so old that it isn't funny but with new twists that gave me a laugh.

As always, your funny bone is not my funny bone but I hope you enjoy these.

Knock Knock. Who's there? Alien robots.

Ever visited Dinosaur Comics? It's a restricted artwork cartoon and every cartoon is the same 6 panels (I gather there have been minor changes over time), but basically it's the same six scenes, repeated over-and over for a dozen years now.

Ryan North, the author of dinosaur comics has produced and sold a Dinosaur comics whiteboard with a better executed version of the same artwork.

Enter David Morgan-Mar who uses one of these whiteboards to create his own version The Dinosaur Whiteboard.

Not all of us were born evil

 I've spend most of the day building history back from the start of my records in 2013 through to August 2014. I felt it would be a good idea to build some forward so this doesn't give the appearance of being an abandoned blog that's having a fitful resurrection.

I guess faking the history of a blog is one form of evil. Another is in this Diesel Sweeties. Unusually for my DS collection it isn't primarily about coffee, but some coffee links follow.

What would a robot be jealous about?

1. Thanks to Diesel Sweeties we now have an answer.  It may not be the answer, but it's an answer and for a webcomic dealing with robots and people who don't exist, it will do.

A heart full of love

Another Diesel Sweeties cartoon leads the list. Another Coffee related posting. Perhaps I have a problem, perhaps I just like DS on coffee?

Salad days.

Just because it consists of raw vegetables it doesn't mean your salad is healthy. There's good reasons why we invented cooking, and in any case a salad consisting only of raw vegetables would not necessarily be easy to digest. I spent a few years making a lot of pure vegan salads (I was never a vegan, but was having a lot of salad). Schizmatic give us this description of the Salad Sundae. It reminds me a lot of why I gave up my pure salads.

Danger unto injury or worse

Skiing is a dangerous sport, just ask Michael Schumacher, he was a motor racing driver but nearly died skiing. You are often only one slip from disaster. Formula 1 racing is safer,  I cycle, believe it or not cycling is safer. If I lived where it snowed I'd probably ski instead. Web Donuts is here to remind us of the risks, and the costs of being rescued.

Coffee, cream, and juice.

I have an ongoing habit of teasing my wife over her frothy milky vaguely coffee flavoured hot milkshakes.

Sareen Akharjalian tells it like it is in this episode of Ink on the side.

"if you take a ton of sugar with your coffee, you DON’T like coffee. Trust me, you’re just a sugar addict. Ain’t nothin wrong with that! Just admit it, and come join my Anonymous group for candy addicts."

Easter sweets

 Yum yum yum thanks for this infographic. A merry Easter to you one and all.

The unthinking man's army from another universe

Spelling mistakes cost lives is an irregular strip by  Scottish educated English artist Darren Cullen.He's done some amazing work including a mock storefront and website offering payday loans for primary school children (and possibly preschoolers, I don't remember 100%.)

Doing Without

Today's number one is this entry from Breaking Fitt's Law. Unfortunately it was the second-to-last instalment of this webcomic before it quietly went on hiatis.

Number two comes from Diesel Sweeties. There's things we need and things we only think we need. Once you get past Oxygen, Water, and "Pizza" (Complex carbs, fats, a little protein and some vegetables) everything else is just a detail They, of course, understand something similar.

Food Dairy and Accupuncture

3D Printing and food. What could be better? OK, 3D printing and replacement organs but we don't need a transplant every day. This seems to be Schizmatic's first entry in this blog. This surprises me as I know I saw several of the Little blue images while doing earlier pages.

2 shopping days to christmas

Meanwhile on a secret archipelago somewhere in the Pacific, in their debut on this blog Poorly Drawn Lines reveals the secret of our islands.

It only makes him want coffee

First thing in the morning I have some water. Ice cold and straight from the tap. When I smoked used to have a cigarette with it, after this I have my first coffee of the day. Don't try to make much sense out of me before that first cup of coffee.

Diesel Sweeties deals with a similar effect

Allergic to round foods

Another mismatched food comparison from Diesel Sweeties.

Special food issue

 I found I'd been saving a whole bunch of food related cartoons in this time period. I've bumped a few non food related ones to the next posting but this is basically as it happened in my twisted mind.

First up today we have a debut on bacon sandwiches from Callous Comics.  Callous occasionally makes me laugh out loud but more often just gives me a wry smile. I also tend to confuse it with both Donald Duck and with  the PhD comic. I don't follow Donald Duck and no anthropomorphic animals are in PhD so I don't understand why the confusion.

Placebo effect monkey

This is the first entry in my archives for Kyle Sanders' sceptical webcomic Carbon Dating. As a cynic and sceptic myself, I look forward to reading his cartoons Here he discusses the logical fallacy argument from antiquity especially as related to the placebo effect as related to needle bearing monkeys.

Telepathic coffee stealing aliens

Another Diesel Sweeties, and another coffee pot runs dry.  What can I say, I like Diesel Sweeties and I like coffee.
