First toon    Previous toon    Next toon    Today's toon
The metacartoonist expresses his usual exasperation with a public not quite up to the demanding standards of appreciation of the sublime multilingual qualities of Toonbots; the expression of this frustration is a uniquely styled episode, in that subtle attention is paid to the otherwise tacit fact of the toon's programmatic generation -- a delightful tongue-in-cheek play on levels.

The script used to make this toon:
