The System 518: Colloquiography

August 1st, 2011

A quick THANK YOU to everyone who came by my table at Otakon this weekend! It was a great time with fellow artists and fans alike. I’ll post more about it on Wednesday, but meanwhile thank you so much for coming by, and if you’re new to the site, look around! Say hi!

See you all Wednesday!

All are true.

Number of Cooks to Broth Quality: "This means that where there are too many people trying to do something, they make a mess of it." (On the other hand, a new dish could be created that would become wildly popular and no one of the group will remember exactly what and in what amount they added it.)

Rate of Change vs.Things staying the same: "The more things change, the more they stay the same." The proverb is of French origin and was used by the French novelist Alphonse Karr (1808-90).

WOOOO, Jimmy the Murder Dog. I got worried about him, real bad.

  No more worries, he's back!
  - Rossmom
    
    And I see he's become multi-talented–not only is he a murder dog but it seems he can be hired as a "handy dog". (Do you get a discount if you hire him for both?)

  You should probably never read http://thisisindexed.com/ then

What do you mean unlabeled? They are labeled, just not scaled.

This doesn't really have to do with the comic (the thing about broth is totally true btw), just something I keep wondering. How do cyclists feel about people on kick scooters?
- rosscott
  
  I can't speak for anyone else, but they're fine by me. I really wanted one for a while, that may be a factor. And they should probably wear helmets.
  - Lady Kwake
    
    Given how many times I've nearly gone over the handlebars because of the rough sidewalks in my area, we probably should…. But since I ride my scooter to culinary school, and barely have room for my scooter, let alone a helmet, I'll just risk my brains for now.

  Thanks! Let's see if anyone else thinks so…

    I think so! (I do have a lot of hammers.)

Panel 2: 'Too many cooks spoil the broth.' (By graph anything over two)

  But a broth prepared by less than one cook can still have quality.
  - Rossmom
    
    A machine is capable of preparing a broth if the correct ingredients in the right proportions are automatically added.

      A machine is capable of writing a novel if the right words in the right order are added.

Loved meeting you and being introduced to your work at Otakon! Wishing I lived in the D.C. area!

It was great meeting you at Otakon! Came out of lurking to say hello and thanks for signing my poster

WOO! Just finished reading through all the comics. Great stuff. I'm glad I got to meet you at Otakon and get that signed print. Sooooo worth the money. Mark my words, that's getting framed and displayed in my dorm (I would find it hilarious if I get some kind of cleanfreak roommate who freaked out as soon as he learned that sometimes things need to be in piles. On the floor. All around me. But of course we wouldn't be able to live with each other, so I really hope that doesn't happen). Perhaps I'll see you at the next Otakon!
