I'm an Internet Comic Strip Character!

Well, sort of. It's all Eric's fault really.

Some guy in the UK used Photo Shop to whack together a strip about Eric and Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds, and I feature as the punch line of a bad joke:

For some reason, I thought the strip was hilarious. It's dumb, but it's the right kind of dumb. It's the kind of dumb that makes "up your butt" or "your mother" the perfect response to any question. Now -that's- comedy.

I kind of wonder if I enjoyed it as much because I'm only kind of getting the jokes and I know Eric and Cathy. I'll have to show other people and see what they think.

In the meantime, congrats Cathy on your multimedia superstardom.

Thank you! I thought the strip was funny, too, in the "right kind of dumb way", but as I said it was a funny-once. It's good, though, to find somebody else in the world who I respect who enjoyed it.

I don't think you enjoyed it just because you know Eric and me, though; several of our close friends just thought it was dumb.

Having enjoyed my 15 seconds of almost-not-really-quite fame, I now return to my regularly scheduled life. :-)
