Early Bird

This week's cartoon is the result of "if things continue in this direction" line of thought, a great way to come up with gags, if I do say so myself. BTW, we're just seven weeks away from the 100th Gamecreature cartoon! Tell your friends! Any ideas on how I should commemorate the occasion? And how am I doing so far?

Two weeks ago, with much fanfare, Fox introduced a new drama called "Drive," about an illegal, no-holds-barred, anything goes cross-country race. The intriguing part about the show was that in this race, how you get to the finish line appeared to be just as important (if not more important) than getting there at all. Notice how I used the past tense there? Yep, after three airings of the program, Fox programming directors (which seem to have the attention span of a hyperactive chihuahua in a room full of tennis balls) have decided that the show wasn't going anywhere and pulled the plug. This isn't the first time this has happened, either. I keep saying, nope, that's the last time I invest any time in a show on Fox, because they'll just take it away the moment I'm looking forward to the next episode. So this is it, you guys. You've teased me just one too many times. I don't care how great the show looks, I'm not going to watch it, because there's no reason to - the better the show, the greater the likelihood that it won't be around next week.

Sigh.

Hopefully Gamecreature will be around next week, in spite of my allergies. Please stay tuned, won't you?
