I love watching the Olympics. For me it’s a family event, though the families I’ve watched it with have changed over the years. It’s amazing to me how long I’ve been watching them — do you realize how long it’s been since Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan seemed relevant? I mean, sure, you can still drop their names into a joke and get a forced chuckle, but let’s face it: if this strip were about Conrad kneecapping Steve before a client pitch…
…wait. I’ve said too much. That actually sounds totally awesome.
Watching the accomplishments of these athletes that have trained, in some cases, their entire lives for these moments, it is easy to feel less accomplished. We don’t have speed skating, or the the flaming tower of awesome that was Snowboard Cross, we have more complex, yet smaller victories. Yes, we have medals, though they are awarded after a lifetime of great moments, not after one. But it’s what we have, so we must take it.

I know, Photoshop Disasters jokes aren’t really cutting edge. But the other day I was out seeing a movie and I saw this poster hanging on a wall for everyone to see.
Now, both me and my wife recognized this poster, and not because of out love of terrible movies. But the one point I couldn’t grasp was, why on Earth would this poster, after being shunned on the apex of the Photoshop-shunning mountain, be allowed to be manufactured, produced, shipped and displayed near my home? Didn’t someone see the post? Here it is again. Same link, but really, I want to be sure you see it. All I can tell you is, anytime I open Photoshop to make some beauty happen, I fear–fear–the results will appear on that site, because I can’t imagine staying on somewhere once your boss or your client sees that.
And thus today’s comic was born. Yup. That’s how I do it, folks. Thaaaaaat’s how it’s done.
Briefly posted. thought and summaries from last night’s Great Pizza Hunt outing will be posted this afternoon as they come in.
