SHARE THIS COMIC:

In case you didn’t know, Comic Sans is lame. Apparently there’s also a growing movement against Papyrus too, but to me that’s just people jumping on the typography nerd bandwagon.

Speaking of nerds, last night my trivia squad, Cash Cab 4 Cutie, returned to the top of the heap as champions of The Big Quiz Thing at Crash Mansion down on Bowery. All night long we pummeled the competition with useless knowledge such as the fact that Michael Steele is the name of both the chairman of the Republican National Committee and a former member of the Bangles, and we did not stop until we had felled every last nerd pretender.

As awesome as that was, what’s way more awesomer is my brother Ernie (YES MY BROTHER’S NAME IS ERNIE GET OVER IT), who on a whim decided to pony up $1,000 to enter one of the World Series of Poker’s sub-tournaments in Vegas – his first live tournament ever – and finished in the top 10% of over 6,000 players, winning back 2 grand. Congrats Ern! Though you know this is how they hook you, right?

Apropos of nothing, here’s a cool sign we saw in the Village Saturday night when a bunch of other webcartoonists and I were desperately trying to find a place to grab post-MoCCA beers at.
