First toon    Previous toon    Next toon    Today's toon
In this slyly manipulative episode, the metacartoonist casts a pall of doubt around the heretofore trustworthy point of stability in the established metaphorical landscape; naturally, the inescapable parallels to be drawn between this inspired move and the current Zeitgeist are both legion and obvious to the schooled observer. They are thus left as an exercise to the reader.

The script used to make this toon:
