First toon    Previous toon    Next toon    Today's toon
The metacartoonist deftly sideswipes all self- as well as public doubt, boldly declaring the present level of productivity to be a minimalist return from hiatus -- the predictable result is that the public continues to doubt, given their patent inability to appreciate the subtlety of a joke expressed in terms of the delivery itself. In the meantime, he also pioneers the minimalist newsflash by declaring the acting in Star Wars Ep II to be wooden. Film at 11.
