    Better a spinning head than an empty one.

    Well, at least he has something to look forward to.

    But if the tweet can reenter the timestream at any point, what prevents the individual bits in the tweet to be individually randomly strewn timewise, scrambling the message and avoiding paradox?

    Oh, right. That would violate the First Law of Comedic Physics. Only When It’s Funny.

    How well we’ve been conditioned to think of death as anything but death.

    Sorry, but that’s tragicomic to me if to no one else, and it’s the best I can come up with right now. (yawns from lack of sleep)

    I tried to live each day as if it might be my last.
    The laundry and dishes started piling up.
    Why should I bother doing them if it’s my last day on earth?

    In a funny way this is very smart. In the end we are all responsible for what we do and the mess we make for ourselvs. Still with Brewster’s brain being Wet Vac every two weeks I wonder if this is a good example.

    It’s nice to know that, when twits die, they take their twittering devices with them. Saves us the trouble of stomping on them.

    PS: “Meanwhile, yesterday,” is one of the best captions I’ve ever read.

    Hey, that means he should have known he was in Limbo, so why did he ask where he was when he got there? (Nov. 3)

    OK - now I’M confused. Is this actually today’s comic, or is it tomorrow’s, or was it yesterday’s?

    What’s all this? Two physicians caused Brewster’s early demise? Isn’t that against the hypnocricket oath?

    And that’s the paradox (or quartet of vets.)

    Tim must read Drabble. There was a sequence, earlier this year about Norman getting text messages from his future self, including one telling him to take Ralph to the hospital. Good thing, too, as Ralph had appendicitis.

    Haiku has its place
    It is lyric’ly pretty
    But it’s just not prose.
