   I love the Frank and Ernest comics’ love of puns and play on words. My only criticism, if it is fair to call it that, is the way the comic is drawn sometimes makes the joke harder to see. The joke here is that they are looking at a Building Directory, where each office has an office number associated with it. The last one is the Accountant, and his office number is the sum of all the other office numbers! Just like you expect an Account to have! Excellent joke! But it would have been easier to see the joke if they had formatted the Building Directory so the lines were written in block letters or some font you would expect on a Building Directory, instead of the chicken scratch font they used. As a result, it looks like a handwritten sign instead of the Building Directory, and the joke is lost.

   Just yesterday I was driving along one of our county roads and noticed four turkey vultures perched in a tree together. So I looked around, and there it was, a dead deer on the side of the road. The vultures were just waiting for traffic to clear so they could begin to feed off the deer. It is not a pleasant part of nature, but a necessary one. As for the business context of the comic, if a company is going belly-up, they should be selling off their assets in order to pay back their creditors. Creditors who lend money to companies so they can do business are taking a risk, sure, but if companies never paid back what they owe, then there would be no creditors. Nobody would be in that business.

   This is at least the third time Pickles has made this exact same joke. Same joke, but slight differences in the scene.

   I read David McCullough’s book The Wright Brothers, and what stood out about the Wright Brothers over other people inventing the airplane is that they focused on building and test flying over and over again. They not only improved their airplane design, but also their ability to control the airplane in flight. They really invented two things. The airplane and the airplane pilot! Most other inventors seemed to believe that, once they got the design of the airplane JUUUUST right, then the plane would fly itself, and no one would need any skill to fly it.

   The background image looks like Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona! Visited there are few years ago.

   That’s funny. While I was reading this comic, I realized I was using it to procrastinate calling back a colleague to work on a problem. This procrastination stuff is everywhere!

    It took me a minute to get the reference, from the opening scenes from “2001 – A Space Odyssey”. Where the so-called ape men somehow get the idea to use a bone for a weapon, and it suddenly gives them the advantage so they can kill other animals. Us trying to master our own technology is a pretty good analogy.
