Le Beran Quotidien

I have decided to switch to tumblr because I like it better! Therefore this blog is now old and my new blog is here: http://daleberan.tumblr.com/

Here’s a comic I wrote about Occupy Wall Street. It’s drawn by Cricket. There’s a new page of Time Picnickers coming in a few days I just have to uh… draw it.

But you know, after they put up the pay-wall, I just can’t find the heart to Firefox>>Tools>>Private Browsing. That’s right, I said it, the Op-Ed  pages are not even worth turning off your cookies!

Ted also has a good article about generation Y (Is that really what we’re called?) here.

But it’ll be monthly payments and at least all your friends will know you’re cool now cause you have that sort of enormous truck that GM swore they would stop making when the government bailed them out of bankruptcy a few years ago because the things proved intensely hated and unpopu– Whooops….

At least last time they tried this, America was rich, the auto reigned supreme, and they were clearly high:

Comics! By Cricket! No longer daily! But… uh… comics!

Important societal issues addressed in these pages: The Ace Hotel (or what my friend Paul refers to as “the gasoline on the burning tire-fire of Manhattan culture”), Sunday Business, smoking, Apes at College, et al… All below the cut!
