You know what’s an awesome movie? Rookie of the Year! It’s on now and I haven’t seen it in ages. John Candy, Gary “Rocket” Busey, the janitor from Scrubs, the phrase “funky buttloving”, is there anything more a movie can have?! “Hot ice! I heat up the ice cubes!” =) There are way too many parts of this movie that I think are great, so I think I’ll stop before I further alienate those who haven’t seen this movie. But seriously, if you haven’t seen it, rent it or something! It’s great!

In other news, our friend Mr. Viking who you may have seen in the blog comments set up a nice Left-Handed Toons fan club for all of us Facebook users. So even if you don’t have a name that’s a verb, there is now a group for you! Go ahead and give that a click and check it out!

It’s not easy being a person whose name is also a verb. All the uncertainty, all the ambiguity in people’s words, all the excitement and anxiety quickly extinguished as I turn my head only to hear that you’re talking about how you sketched something on paper, and not addressing me at all. I envisioned a support group for people with this affliction, but now there is a very real forum for our kind, one that I just stumbled on…

JOIN ONLY IF YOU CAN TRULY SAY YOU SHARE IN OUR TORMENT (and if you have a facebook account)

A while back I made a cartoon about Subway’s goofy way of arranging cheese on their sandwiches, and I learned something after posting it up on the site: people are very passionate about cheese. I’ve gotten more commentary on that comic than any other so far.

I recently got an email from a guy named Stu, who said this:

I love your subway cartoon, I work at subway and printed your toon. The staff found it funny, my boss did not!!!

Next day a notice was put up about cheese! And I took a photo to send to you.

Here’s the photo he attached:

It seems there’s some devious reasoning behind Subway’s practices! They choose to offend geometric decency to make their customers pay more to fill in the missing puzzle pieces! That’s evil genius. Stu also gave me this caveat:

Remember that all subway stores are franchised owned so every store will be run in its own way, and this notice is only from my subway.

And he’s right, so we can’t make the same statement about all Subway locations, but this is the best explanation I’ve seen for why cheese placement might be an important part of a business model. Who knew?

Thanks, Stu.
