"This satire isn't niche enough. When are we gonna see a comic parodying comics that parody comics?" Since Coffman was too modest to post it: http://www.yirmumah.com/extras/career.html

I once got freaky with Mad Libs, it was pretty unsatisfying. Instead of screaming my name it just kept asking for a proper noun.

Seriously though, this is pretty mind-blowing, ain't it? Good things, I hope.

While I find the Modern Tales news interesting, and I think it's a great team-up, I think the news that we'll be getting more great cartoons like these is much more exciting. Great work!

Is it wrong that I'm spending so much mental energy trying to figure out what tune Chris Crosby could be whistling.
