Something of That Ilk


If Humans Were Like Trees

This past Spring was crazy with pollen! I dunno what all the trees were thinking when they all decided to jerk off at the same time. Even the inside of my dorm near the windows was covered with a light dusting of plant semen.


Computers for Complete Dumbasses: Lesson 1

If you still don't get this, imagine you have your keys but your house is missing, and in its place is a giant blue wall. Seriously, where the hell did it go? Your key is pretty much as useful as a pancake made of fiberglass shards.


What Your Jacket Zipper Says About You

On a good day I rock the Metro.


Dammit

Meet Catface - the beacon of misfortune.


Afros

I once knew a guy who took a shower and found small pebbles in his hair. Apparently Jew curls have a strong gravitational field.

JUST SAYIN'.


Time Travel

There is no problem that cannot be solved through the proper application of explosives.


Gotcha!

It's too bad that the Source engine doesn't let you grab yourself. Although I suppose you would run into trouble when you re-position a portal while still grabbing your leg... you'd probably end up with what looks like a haphazard sorting algorithm applied to the human body.


Doors Suck: an Essay

True story.


"Is it a Virus?"

This happened to me last week at my job. I never thought I'd get paid to beat the shit out of my co-worker's keyboard.


Rude

Honestly, I find the whole argument over building a mosque near Ground Zero pretty trivial. I would object to building nearly /anything/ on top of what is now a memorial, but the plans for the mosque emphasize building it two blocks away, and there should be nothing wrong with that. It's silly, guys. It's so silly. Sorry for the weaksauce update today. Now that I'm back in class I need to budget more of my time to homework and studying and all that crap. I'll still update every weekday, but in order to keep my sanity I may need to pop out a one-paneler every now and then. See you tomorrow!


Cover Art

The definition of post-postmodernism is so vague that even Wikipedia is all like, " it's, uh... erm.... here's what some other people have said." as if plain ol' postmodernism isn't weird enough....


Sense of Duty

If I had a dollar for each time I've been late to work because of this, I'd... well, I'd get paid a lot more. I'm also too much of a pussy to shove the cat off my clothing. Pun intended.

That's all for this week. If all goes well, SoTI will be updated at 12:00AM Monday - Friday.

Oh, before I forget: I'm buying a Wacom tablet! This means I can pop out better artwork more often as far as my skills will let me. Drawing with vectors sucks bigtime.

See you Monday!


Facial Hair

When you're 13, they're the coolest things ever. Then you grow to realize how horribly, horribly wrong you were.

*EDIT*OH MY GOD HOW DID SHE GROW HAIR SO FAST???
This is what happens when I spend too much time doing stuff I'm supposed to be doing. Like all of your female relatives.


Should have said....

'DOES IT GIVE GOOD SEX???'


This is Madness!

Sometimes I wish the labels on drinks actually affected you as they advertised. Just sayin', Nitrous Monster Anti Gravity would be awesome.

While there's no major illness in my family, I am completely overwhelmed with schoolwork, and this is my fallback. That's my excuse. But seriously, go give the legendary creator of XKCD some love; he could really use it.

Tablet

It's like learning to draw blindfolded, only you get to see your disaster as you create it.

Before I write comics I am a student, and for this reason I copied yesterday's comic out of sheer academic stress. That's the best excuse I've got, and here's to next week being less shitty.

Also, thank you to all of you who sent the get-well-soon wishes. I'm feeling much better now.

It's a lot easier than stealing.

The Internet is a brutal place, even when you're separated by a 15.4-inch LCD screen.

It's what friends are for: releasing pictures of you with things in your butt into public domain

What they both saw was clearly beyond comprehension.

HTTP Clock

58 minutes later its ability to tell time becomes unavailable, and, after 60 seconds of failed attempts, shoots itself in the face.

Hey guys, I'm leaving for New York City tomorrow morning! Whether or not I can push out any comics is completely indeterminate. I will certainly try, but if I am late or miss a day, it is because I am taking a well-deserved break from life by going to one of the most stressful cities in the US. Come say hi if you can find me :)

Whoops, looks like this one's already been done. My bad, C&H!


Norway

*sigh*


Bars

Sorry for the extremely late update. I blame US Airlines, which in turn blame last night's inclimate weather for my flight from LaGuardia being cancelled, which resulted in me getting on a plane 13+ hours later, after even further delays.

Regardless, I am alive and well, and NYC was awesome. To those of you who requested on the Facebook page for me to visit a place for you in NYC, I will have the photo up soon (hopefully along with a brand-spanking-new blog section). Also, as a token of apologies for the extremely infrequent and sporatic updates, here are some silly alternate punchlines for your enjoyment.

Drunk Texting

Today is SOTI's first birthday! Drinks all around! Coincidentally, it's also QC's 8th birthday! Go and congratulate Jeph on the 8 years of persistence and hard work he has put into making a fantastic web series. Seriously, go send him an email or something.

In short, I'm gonna make a cake.

You'll always be surprised.

Pretty sure this is how it works. I read it online somewhere.


Crayons

I think Monday is an appropriate night for puns, wouldn't you agree?


Sticks

SEE? SEE WHAT I DID THERE???

That Eerie Feeling

It's always behind you.


Cursing

IT WORKS. I FUCKING SWEAR IT DOES.

Empiricism

500 people can't be wrong... probably.


Bop It

Feeling mature tonight. Yes I am.


Cologne

Women, same goes to you with perfume. Stop it. Stop it right now.


Cursing 3

I couldn't fathom, either.


The Effects of Payday

Oh bank account. How did you get so small?


I suck at video games

In all seriousness, this needs to be a game.


Like a Boss

Different nouns work too.

LIKE A PLATE.


Shit I Draw

That's pretty much all the notes I've taken this semester.


Fuel Gauges

And, of course, when the little orange light comes on you still get about 20 miles to play with.


Contortion

Fweezle is a splendid name for a rodent, don't you think?


Cursing 4

I'm tired. G'night.

Keeping it classy, as always.

By induction, tomorrow will also be a bad day.

All my pants come with instruction sets.

Tall guy, you're seriously disrupting the text flow of the panels.


Not Today

TEXT BELOW THE COMIC


Random Acts of Kindness

Any stories?


Bleach for Racists

Aaaaand g'night.


Narcissism

He might have some trouble with that self-referential pointer.
EDIT: fixed shirt color. WHOOPS.


Nonlinearity

Who says cells have to be square? Certainly not Bil Keane. Of course, he's not really saying much these days anyway.


Simplification

I'm a student. I memorize facts and regurgitate them after 4 months. I puke on scantrons.


Premature

Sometimes when I'm talking to my friends I'll tell them a really funny story that ends with


Family Circus

"No need to thank me!"
Too late?


RTL

Sometimes it's fun to think of jokes for a given punchline. Try it out.
Also, a big thank-you to Ricky Carter for making the drooling guy draggable!


Autocorrect

Unfortunately, my brain is wired to think in QWERTY.


Pro Tips

The only day of the year when nobody's going to be mad at you for being fat.


Super Power

This way it would be possible to unsee.

Okay guys, it's dead week at university, so I'm going to be stressing my ass off for the next few days. If I manage to post a comic at all on a given night, it will probably be a one-paneler like this one. After this week, life should be good again, so just hang in there with me.


Green Transportation

Why spend billions making a pen that will write in space when a pencil will do the trick?


Flame War

So, bicycles and green transportation and space pencils, huh guys?


Opinions

Or maybe this is my uncaffeinated brain trying its best to think.


In Retrospect

I've never heard a story about how someone horribly lost an argument. Not a good story, mayhaps?

Mythbusters caused collateral damage yesterday with a misfired cannon. Pretty sure this is how they reacted.

Also, exams suck.


The Evolution of Video Games

Oh, outdoors. What great graphics you have.


Smoking

Mamas always know best.


Hanging Comma

Hey! I'm not dead! I like to think I was pretty close, but more importantly I'm not dead! Yay life!


Should've Said So

It was probably the quickest way, at least.


Hypothetically

Do first, ask for forgiveness later.


Weight Loss

Ahhhh, I've tapped back into my distasteful side. Feels good to be back.


Siri

This will either improve people's lives or drive the suicide rate among iPhone users through the roof.


Holidays

On top of that, I can drink now! Mazel tov!


Target Acquired

This happened to me over the holidays. Not that it's inexcusable - she was locked in that room for four days with no food or water when my parents went out of town. I don't think she'll make the same mistake of exploring the house again.

Good to be back, guys, and I hope you guys had a fantastic new year. I got a new computer, so soon I will have it set up to resume the regular comics. Enjoy the sketches in the meantime!


As the Crow Flies

This is kind of how I feel about a lot of my ideas.

"We should make elevators that go all the way through the earth! It would make travel so much faster!"
"TVs should really come with a touch screen."
"Hey, let's listen to Yellowcard!"


Time Dilation

When observed, humans occupy time at a constant rate. The function for apparent time elapsed correlates directly with the amount of coffee in one's system, thus dilating it.


Shots

I'm not allowed in public anymore.


Bad Pun Friday

Speaking of doing stupid shit like drawing blanks, try tasting your tongue.


Life++

Just like everybody does at some point, I was pretty unmotivated and depressed for the past week or so. Since I do not tolerate that quality of myself, I made this list. Life is better now.

I don't speak in public for this reason.


Expresso

Who knew a portafilter could be such an effective weapon? By golly, I'm glad I found out!

Maybe it's just human nature to complain about shit. I dunno, I'm not an anthropologist.


The Box

I much prefer thinking inside the giant hamster ball.


Reflection

Aaaaaaaand politics!

So the question is, did he punch his reflection in the face, or himself?

HAHA GET IT GET IT?


Perspective

“Also, the gravity switch was broken.”


Computers for Complete Dumbasses: Lesson 2

And just you try to give him permission to execute.
Network Security: Hard Mode


New OS

There's really no convenient time to deal with it anyway.
In unrelated news, we have a new record-holder for largest display of fan art. You may consider that a challenge.


Mathy and Rhymey

Teachers take note: this would make learning stuff like this so much more interesting.


Point of View

“The real question is, how are you standing on this wall?”


Compressed Air

Mythbusters, let's see you try this one.


Anti-Motivation

True wisdom is sometimes kinda stupid.


Barbershop Quartet

It happens. Sometimes


Clothing

I tried to find clothing that fits my stature, and unfortunately I forgot how impossible that was.
Let's just say I'd be better off shopping in the women's section.


Asteroids

I never actually got used to that feature.


Typing

WHAT IS THIS AND WHAT AM I DOING WITH IT.
In other news, I have typing shyness.

The only people who throw magnets are the kinds of people who cheat at Horseshoes.

Leisure

It's actually quite fun.

Look, it's open source and everything.

Wallpaper-sized, by request.


Shaggy Dog

YOU'VE BEEN A WONDERFUL AUDIENCE THANK YOU

They come before many things. Mostly women.

I might have crossed some kind of border here.
HA HA GET IT?

Violation

I've learned that, in general, this kind of language is frowned upon.


Small Talk

In all honesty, I really don't mind it, but I can guarantee that my answer won't be completely honest.

Relatives.

Poor choices in facial hair are a top killer of potential relationships and hookups. Trust me on this one.


Code Decay

Thank goodness for repositories. Kinda.


No, You Hang Up!

If that is ever said to me on the phone, I will.


Formula 409

It may burn, but holy hell does it make them shine!


Eye Contact

This is something I'll never understand: why does eye contact with a stranger make people so uncomfortable?


Running

One day I'll get ahead of it... one day....


Marvel

Thanks to all the previous hype, it was exactly as I expected it to be: extremely entertaining.


New Hobby 5

Derp, cat nipples, derp.


Self Checkout

Discounts are given to customers who can withstand the two-hour interrogation period.


Life in the Prometheus Trailer

On the other hand, it would be like having a persistent strobe light. Hmm. Tempting.


Photobomb Party

This might just be the kid in me talking, but I think this would be fun.


Inverse 2

What a square.


;)

<_<


Dick Moves of Traffic

Our friends in England will have to flip this sideways. And add a traffic circle. Sorry guys #notactuallysorryatallsosuckonit


Responsibility

Do what makes you happy, but don't make other people unhappy.

Lessons learned the hard way: don't move when there's a fucking needle in your fucking arm.


Guest Comic #5

Brought to you by my kind of retarded roommates.

The last one is for compact vehicles.


Makeouts

All tried and tested, for science.

Bonus points if it's a JPEG.


Packing Tape

This is a great prank to play on someone, but you didn't hear that from me.


Being Cool

Note the correct use of the comparison, "[adjective] as Hell."


Disappearing Contest

Welcome to Wonderland, I guess?

Balancing fun is a careful art. You can't have too much or you'll grow up too fast. Because that's how time works.


Stage Fright

In related news, my improv team is going to NYC for the Del Close Marathon! Come see me if you guys are in the area this Sunday!


Popsicles

Ever take a step back from whatever you're doing and just say, "damn, I really don't want a popsicle right now?"

So, I am leaving for NYC today and won't be back for about a week. Regular comics will resume then. Also, I'm so pumped about this trip you have no idea. I mean, if you can see how much I've wet my pants in anticipation, you might.


Vacation

I'm pretty sure the time I spent in the car and actually enjoying the city were about comparable. Anyway, good to be back!


Fame

Nobody applauds when I say hello. Hmf.


Cheese

I've been sitting on this one for so long it's not even funny.


Linoleum

To be honest, I can't walk on it either.

Kinda makes you wonder if you'd get along with you.

Just wait for evolution to take effect....

Thank Facebook for propagating these shits.

Need I mention the tear-jerking commercials with sad-looking puppies and soulful music?

Nobody in the gym's locker room appreciates this, even if it is warranted.


Face Privileges

It sucks.


People

Just let your eyes glaze over and watch the mindless automatons....


Santa Is Fat

Mmmmm... triple McWhopLard....


If Humans Were Like Cats

Thank God this isn't the case. If it were, just think of how crazy our lives would OOH LASER!


Definitions

I know, words are sounds whose associations are more or less arbitrary with their meanings, but I'm not going to let you get away with calling everything a toothbrush just because you can.


Birthday!

Yay! I'm two years old! This site, that is.


OS X

If pumas are the same as mountain lions, is 10.1 the same operating system as 10.8?
THINK ABOUT IT.
IGNORE THE CONTRADICTION.
In other news, celebrity name change. Go figure.


Engaging the Public

Besides cat videos, this is the real purpose of the Intertubes.


Printers

Typebars notwithstanding, a good old fashioned typewriter will never let you down. Ask any hipster.


The Economics of Fun

Fuck it. I'm making my life feel as fun and therefore short as possible


Time Dilation

I kinda wish I had the time I spent reading about it back, except I was running really fast.


Out of Fucks

This week I start my last year of college. If I die, oh well.


Violence

Those people who are good at violence would really pack a wallop.


Gae-Sals

It's pronounced, "gay sauce." /joke


Fortunate Timing

Poop. Heehee.


Pouch

Pouch isn't really a dick, technically speaking.


Pouch 2

I'm being really mature this week. Crotches lol.


Memory Loss

I don't anticipate the point in my life when I realize that I've lost my mind. Unless maybe it's now. OH GOD.


Cerebral Palsy

Looks like his left hand is facing some jail time.


High Fives

Thinking about it, a stadium full of people giving each other high fives may not be as loud, but it'll definitely be awesome.


Ctrl + S

Or, y'know, commit often, branch, push, whatever.
Angry Face because I can't think of a single place I wouldn't photoshop it into.


Vices

Your kids are going to try planking. Tell them about the dangers.


Shit I Draw 2

This is a partial collection of doodles I've drawn during (instead of?) class. I promise I'm getting good grades, mom and dad.


Giving Fucks

Hakuna Ma-fucking-tata, life.


Assault

I've had no opportunity to use this one in real life. You're welcome.


Shit I Draw 3

Looking through my class notes, a good 40-50% of them are random doodles. I even found some from two years ago. It's just a shame they were in pencil and are now crudely smudged.


Photography

I hate it when I'm getting my picture taken and suddenly my arms.


Co-Pilot

He's probably one bitch of a back-seat pilot.


The Talking Walking Syndrome

I'll never understand what compels us to wander aimlessly while engrossed in phone conversation. It brings me back to the days of phones with cords. Oh, how our wandering range was limited.


Gardening

This is a thing. Seriously. A delicious, not-that-uncommon-outside-the-US thing.


Mucus

Man, nothing tops a week of endless stress better than starting the next week off feeling sick as hell. C'est la vie.

Heh... "Beating around the bush."


2012 Debate

This pretty much sums it up.

Let's just say I stall out a lot at intersections.

Woop.

As a stretch, you could use this as a metaphor for the upcoming presidential election.

Technically, the poops can happen at any time, so be prepared, fellow coffee freaks.


Gangnam Style

Let's face it: decades from now, this will be the modern-day equivalent of The Electric Slide.


High One 2

GUYS THIS COULD BE A THING. THEY COULD HAVE HANDS. GUYS?


Homeschool

When you're educated in an environment that doesn't require social skills, you have to find some ways to learn to cope with the hardships of the real world somehow.


Calling the Election

Something about this election tells me that a candidate will win.


Outdoorsmanship

This is more or less how I remember growing up.


Size

Cliche, existential, whatever. Things are all right.


Urinals

Seriously, if you have to check your phone while peeing, you need to straighten out some of your priorities.


Coffee Temperature

If you need six cardboard sleeves to keep the styrofoam cup from burning your hand, your coffee is too hot. If you wait twenty minutes and still suffer third-degree burns on your tongue from sipping it, your coffee is too hot. When Paris Hilton won't describe it as "hott" because her mouth is on fire, your coffee is too hot. If you prepare your coffee with magma, your coffee is too hot.

Think about that, Dunkin Donuts.


Coughing

I think that's a lung. Or a spleen.
Either way, this has been how I've spent the last week - coughing incessantly, dripping a gallon of snot a minute, and otherwise not feeling that great. I'm mostly back, save for the phlegm I have yet to cough out of my lungs, but I should be in good working order in... well, soon.


Tapioca

This is one of those jokes I've been sitting on for months without an outlet. You're welcome.

“And for my next trick, I'll... guys? Guys?”


Santa Hat

Funny how when tails are attached to your ass they're cool, but when they're on the back of your head people look at you weird. Or maybe it's just me.


MPAA Ratings

Don't watch Pink Flamingos. Do watch Life Is Beautiful.


A Big E

Windows doesn't make it easy to remove, and even more so to reinstall.


Uncountable Sets

“...Infinity-one! Infinity-two! Infinity...”


Jannah

I'm going to die. I'm going to get shot. Totally worth it.


Not Raping

I'm trying this new thing called not being completely offensive. Not sure if I hit the mark or not.


Filling a Balloon

I don't know where I heard this, but I'm going to accept it as fact. Spread the word.


Big Damn Words

I am not a smart man, but I do know what words is.


Little Black Box

I have yet to see a mathematician draw a box on someone after winning an argument, but I don't think that's entirely implausible.


No longer AFK

:)


XI/V

Feels good.
