Free range centaurs

Studies have shown that free range farming of chickens is not necessarily stress free either, still it has to be better than the worst types of factory farming.

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.

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%.)

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.

Dumb Phone February

This is interesting. February 2014 was a month where I only kept enough in my archives to do one page. Obviously I wasn't planning this blog back then. It's been very rewarding reading back through all the strips I kept. Some I had forgotten and others revisited on a regular basis. Some, naturally I no longer understand why I kept them, but you don't get to see them.

The best of the month again goes to Wrong Hands for this piece on the Vintage Smartphone.

Monotony: an epic tale

A fortnight's worth this time, leading off with an epic tale from John Atkinson's Wrong Hands, published under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported licence. I like the way he's taken cliche's and turned them into ordinary aspects of everyday life.

Have you had your 'flu shot?

If he's been there long enough to have ripped clothes and grown a beard that long he won't be up-to-date with the flu shots. Sure the desert island gag is a standard, but I'd not seen this specific treatment before and so it worked for me.
