#31 The Interview

by Dan Greenwald

Watch out folks, it's a whole new format, starting with today's strip. I realized last week that I pretty much burned through my reserve of strips. Rather than drawing another dozen or so strips, I decided to do the next batch of strips in real time. Most of the original strips were drawn back in November and December of 2006. Months later, they didn't all seem as relevant to me as they did when first drawn.
Today's strip is a brief snippet of conversation I had with an inteviewer at a temp agency on Monday. Trust me, my job prospects with this agency are promising, but I still left thinking "I can't believe I said I could have had a job euthanizing animals."
On a totally unrelated note, am I a bad person for being less than excited with Drive? I don't think it's the show per se, but I'm getting tired of gimicky ensemble shows with an underlying mystery/conspiracy and lots of flashbacks. Lost is slowly losing me, I've written off Prison Break, The Nine barely made it out of the gate before getting the axe...Heroes is really the only show that I'm truly invested in.

#30 Regal Beagle


A free Evergreen t-shirt goes out to the person who knows what late 70's/early 80's television show 'Regal Beagle' comes from. First person to leave a comment with the answer gets the swag.

#29 A Necessary Evil, Part 2


Aside from late night excursions, I've also had my share of early morning shopping trips. This morning, for example, after dropping my wife off at work I stopped at Wal-Mart for a new printer/scanner for my studio workspace.

#28 T-Shirts Are A Geek's Best Friend


How crazy am I when it comes to collecting t-shirts? I organize them by color and fold them in a way that I can see what the graphic or text is on them. It may be a bit Anal McLooney, but let's face it, it can be rather frustrating digging for one specific black t-shirt in a drawer FULL of black t-shirts.

#27 Just Like Heaven

Part of being married is sharing and compromising. However, the television is a touchy subject. The choosing of and agreeing on of what to watch when together is a battle that rages on to this day. Thankfully the advent of the DVR made our lives a little easier, allowing us to record daytime talk shows and super-hero cartoons.
