Over a year ago, a Dutch frog science magazine emailed me asking if they could include my comic in their upcoming dart frog issue. They interviewed the scientist who first described the blue poison dart frog; he had seen/liked the comic. They sent me a copy, which just arrived:
Sonic fans are so funny because they debate whether this game is good or bad and then you look at the clip of a bunch of random shapes in an empty map and the shapes only pop in when you’re 15 feet away
The DMV was where I suddenly became aware of how stark the IQ gap actually is in practice.
I went to ask a simple question. My first iteration was this, verbatim:
“The roads are covered in ice, so I know it’s not happening right now, but I wanted to ask about motorcycle road tests. You have to have a motorcycle to do the test, but you can’t buy one in this state without the motorcycle endorsement on your license. So, how does that work?”
First answer, verbatim: “Well… we can’t do them in winter.”
It took five increasingly condescending rephrasings to get an answer and I was so stunned by the experience that I can’t even recall the answer.
This incredibly ugly interface is specifically designed to cope with the fact that the DMV is a jobs program for the medically retarded.
