That’s it! I’m firing my staff of fact-checkers!

From a fan, on this week's comic:

As usual, your inane attempt at politcal humor is uninformed and off point.  The Chinese people do not eat fortune cookies nor read the little slips of jibberish inside them.  Fortune cookies are an American invention.

What's the point of doing a comic strip if it isn't accurate and meticulously reality-based?

I just thought of something else:  The fortunes were written in English!  I'm starting to think that plan will never work.

EVENT ALERT: SUNDAY JAN. 11 – KGB BAR NYC

Tim "Pain" Kreider asked me to join him for an event at KGB this Sunday, and since my New Year's resolution was to say Yes to everything, I'm doing it.  I do need to get out more…

It's Sunday, Jan. 11, at 7pm (it's not at 10:52am, as the KGB posting says), at KGB Bar, 85 East 4th Street, NYC  (212) 505-3360.  We'll be presenting our comics on the Bush administration and celebrating the fact that it's mercifully almost over.

A good time will be had by all.
