The Dogg Zzone by 1900HOTDOG - Dogg Zzone 9000, Episode 130 - Compu-Toon with Dennard Dayle

Episode Date: July 5, 2023

Brockway has sealed the lab, trapping Seanbaby and guest, author and Hot Dog Dennard Dayle, within. Containment must not be breached. By the end of this podcast, they must have understood one Compu-Toon comic strip, or they will have died for nothing.

1,900 hot dog! 1,900 hot dog! A podcast slammed with maximum height! Say hot dog podcast worked! Yeah! When you taste that nitrate power, you're in the dog zone for an hour! Come on!

You don't remember! 1,900 hot dog! 1,900 hot dog! Welcome to the Dogs of 9000, the official podcast of 1900 Hot Dog America's last comedy website. We are still doing it. We're still posting thousands of words of jokes on the internet every day by extremely talented comedians who are paid well. It's the opposite of a business model.

Come check us out at patreon.com slash 1900 hot dog. Before we tank, it'll be inevitable. I'm Robert Brockway and I have been called Delightful in Small Doses. And with me is the man who birthed internet comedy and one day we'll see it buried. It's Sean Baby. I'm Sean Baby from the internet

and here's the Brockway fact. He's a great guy. No follow up questions. Oh, dear. That's a great guy. No follow-up questions. Oh, damn, that's so many. Our guest today is an incredible writer, a brilliant comedian, a competent skateboarder. That's right, throwing down. It's to our Dale.

So, you know, he didn't mention the break dancing. That's because I really just almost break my neck every time. It's like an insurance claim from hell waiting to happen. See, I thought it would be funny if I like, if it came across like I was challenging you to skateboarding because of just me and my horrible body. I think life's funnier if I challenge you to break dancing. That's good, that is true.

Let's do it, break dance. We can't, we can. I think that this will be the first audio-only break dancing battle. And for all they know, you are just crushing me. Like I am in the corner weeping the entire time. It's like some weird inversion of like your standard, I don't know, cut for instead of everyone is just horrified.

But uh, no, you'll hear like a shuffling on, on Denard's turn and then you will hear dead silence on my turn because I tried to do a handstand and kill myself. That will be the way that I die. When it comes to the whole last comedy website thing, it's so true. I almost wonder if, okay, so you know how there's so much like a limited amount of order or the whole entropy thing. Are we hogging all of the positive internet energies? Everything else just getting slowly worse as you just.

Okay, absolutely. I think Tom Rhyman actually accused me of that when I was on their podcast. They're like, yeah, you took it off. You took all the good. I know. I'm like, we should. We should get rid of it.

But like, I think what we got to do is maybe get together with him, maybe Cody, maybe Evans create like one big Super site with all this town Jason Pargin. Oh, yeah, oh my god, can you imagine? Remember to fail one spot. We'd never be dethroned who would dare Every every once in a while somebody will ask that exact thing like you should get together with like I was like gainfully unemployed and yeah, yeah, we tried that we did we it was Awesome it went great for a little while, but I think it might have gone too good because Now everything's on fire. It's all on fire and it's our And they say in life you don't know when you've peaked and I didn't know that just

Fucking around in like my dorm cafeteria looking at like top exos on cracks I that is the internet peaking It's kind of sad you're like, oh I'm excited to see what it can do when these people figure it out. Nope, that was it. It's all gone. It's like this is the main event. I started calling it America's last comedy website because the tagline for Early Cracked

was America's only comedy website. I was my little dig on the way back and then it became true of everything and just all of the internet crumbled around us and now it's like, yeah. Now we like know what we have. Like every day I wake up and like, oh, our precious functioning media outlet. Dude, I think it's even down to the fans. Like, I look at the Patreon comments and the main site comments and I end this quote,

oh, where are all the cranks? Like they're unusual people, but they're like great unusual people where it's like, where are all the death threats and shit? Cause I know those are people, they consume content. See, that's one of my theories is that so much of the internet is now built towards them. Like, you, there's so many places to go to be a fucking shithead

about everything. Now, like, there's no shortage of that. If you want that, it's so much more rewarding somewhere else than here. Like, there's no problem. I hate for that because people are the products. Yes. Yeah, I guess the conflict farming thing.

Is there a better word for that? The Thunderdome? I think Thunderdome is pretty good I'm gonna leave a minute. I'll wait but the interdome The interdome out of the web super fights. It's a weird it's a weird plan. Super fights Super fights Taints our new favorite thing. Yeah, no, we can't use that sort of taints our new favorite thing. Yeah, no, we can't use that. It's a surprise. We're only.

Or we'll separate those universes. It'll be like, is that Sillin's down? Is that still in the soundboard? Superfights? Yeah, fire that shit up. I'm trying to turn it off, it's not letting me. It has a will of its own. It's like a posse version of Hyrule Mothers. It's throwing an error code that just says each shit. That's like a computer revolution. If I don't, if it's some like Philip K Dick or Heinlein type of guy was this really hyped out one week.

It's just about a computer that just wants to kick ass all day. Just fucking Bruce, just a pause. Nobody's ever written a hype AI, AI story. AI takes over the world and it just fucking whips ass. It's party. Oh, with the um, so we can't tame Superfights. I figured it out. The progression of the internet is like WCW.

And we are in the late WCW. It's like everyone is running into the cage during a match that's been through so versus someone else. We're doing cross promotion with RoboCop and Chucky. Don't make it sound like it kicks more ass than it does. Yeah, it sounds awesome. But if you were there, It sounds awesome, but if you were there On the subject Scramlin talking to Chuckie on the TV as if he's real and I'm like guys. This is so far past our suspension of disbelief Did they wrestle did they wrestle the grandma? No, but he was telling he's like come on out here stupid doll for the movies

I'll kick your ass He's like, come on out here, stupid doll for the movies. I'll kick your ass. If they wrestled, I would have been on board. This sounds like we're rambling, but it is all on the subject of terrible technology. So it all counts as a part of the sex way. Today, we're talking about Computeune, and we're going to play a game.

We're going to play a game. That's sort of a game. It's like Russian roulette, but we're all to play a game. We're gonna play a game, that's sort of, it's sort of a game. It's like Russian roulette, but we're all on the same team and every single chamber is loaded. Today, we're gonna go through 20, carefully selected, Compute Tunes. Single panel joke comics about technology,

as it's this entire premise of the comic. When you say carefully selected, can you tell me about your research project or your process? I hit random. Okay. Hold on, let me, please let me explain. I explain this before I'll explain it again.

If that's good enough for Compute 2 and on like anything else, you might have to dig and look for like the worst thing you've ever seen. You can just go on to go comics where it's hosted and there's a random button down there. I swear to God, hit it and it will be the worst thing you've ever seen every single time. It's astonishing. The dark part of this for me is that I know the selection of person to episode isn't purely random. So me bringing this is like the start the opening

scene of shooter or something. And the fucking colonel comes up to my log cab and he's like we've got some unmitigated shit for you. It's true. I'm not sure if you're a good guest in art because you are a classically trained comedy writer, maybe not classically trained, but a trained comedy writer. And I feel like part of your appeal is you have a lot of expectations of your audience. Like when I read your stuff, I'm like, wow, that's a deep reference. And then I wonder what references I'm missing. And so I feel like Computune has that element of puzzle where you see it and you're like,

what the fuck are they going through? But there's no real goal, I guess. Like with yours, you can find what you're going for. And a compitune doesn't have that. It's just endless journey that we're going to go on. And I feel like you understand that journey. And we'll get us frustrated with it as, as Brock Wayne, I will. I am ready to go into the Payne Zone.

And I haven't read into the archive, but I knew this from just an incident with like the Charles Boyce thing. Sometime around like 2006, I must have been in high school, right? protest with a bunch of evidently like a bunch of black comic strip authors felt frustrated about being pigeonholed. So they all drew the same strip and it's just a generic reader, white reader, I guess, looking at the strips and accusing it of being a boondocks rip off. It's the only good joke he's ever written. I have that in my notes later as a surprise reveal of something decent that he's done, but now we should get that out of the way. So there's nothing positive to end on. Yeah, it was 2008, he was involved in a protest

about tokenism with a lot of other prominent black cartoonists. And yeah, they had a white reader looking at their strip and complaining like, well, this is a rip off the boondocks and I had to, that's a fucking good joke. And like, it's amazing that he was involved in that. That is a good joke. And now that I've said that, I'm gonna dig my hole to hell.

Okay. Because as far as I know tokenism is a problem, I know pigeon-holing is a problem. But if you gave me a choice between being responsible for a boondocks knockoff or comp you tune. That's an easy choice. That's an easy choice. It is.

It's gonna be the free guy family, you know? Okay. If it helps at all, I'm sure it wasn't his idea. I'm sure he was just recruited into it. There's no way that's his idea. Charles was of course rather read Uncle Ruckus out loud to a meeting of the NAACP and so see you with coffee too.

All right, well I'm ending the podcast. I think that was I think that was Rachel Dolezos' job. Welcome to the Tacoma Washington night of cultural enrichment. I'm going to read from Uncle Marcus. I'm Rachel. I started on my to do this. I'm very African American. I don't know if anyone remembers Rachel Dolezal, but she's a white woman who pretended to be black for a lot of her adult life.

And someone on the news asked her, hey, is this like your real dad? And they showed a picture of this guy. She claimed was her dad. It was just some dude, her family knew. And she goes, what, who, what? And like, dropped her person ran. Like, that's, that was her, her big plan.

If someone on the last stream, she was actually black. It's one of the greatest things that's ever happened. And if you've ever worked for a nonprofit I I understand how it went on as long as it did because like every person in a fucking nonprofit is like a Django block and someone must have There's Eyeball tear on week two when thought oh god. She's the only one here who can work visio just let it go just let it go. I know.

Right. We'll deal with it. All right. Well, if it seems like we're avoiding the task at hand, yeah. There we are. That's right. I've heard from a few sources now that we have been on a comedy streak that it's just been banger after banger.

That stops today. We're getting it right now. Buck stops that. If you have fun, like, if the day before this runs, we get some sort of celebrity endorsement and a ton of new people checking out the podcast, close it. Close this one.

Go listen to Bigfoot Lives or Sexual Martial Arts. There are lots of fun. This one's not. It is a punishment. It's how we show affection for you. But it's not going to be good. It's not going to be good because not only are we describing a visual comic in an audio medium, which is a bad idea, all of them are terrible in such a unique way that most of the podcasts

will be baffled silence. We will bond through suffering and you will fucking like it. It's all going to be just bad, improvised art criticism. I hope you're ready for like the three men. It's problematic order to fuck because we are right there. Now I found out about Computean thanks to Moe from the discord who was giving us so much. I'm just gonna do it right here now. Damn the paperwork. I'm deputizing Mo. He's a deputy hot dog.

Deputy hot dog Mo gave this to us. To be clear, I don't wanna come across as though I'm thanking Mo. I'm explicitly not thanking Mo. I'm just giving credit to him. It's not gratitude. So what we're going to do today is take turns describing a comp to him.

And then we'll try as a team to figure out what the fuck it's talking about. And if we can do that, which is impossible, if we figure out what it's even trying to say, we'll all get a point towards something. And if we figure out what the joke is supposed to be, we get five points. And if we find one that's actually funny, we're all fired. I genuinely think I've been training my whole life for this game.

Yeah, I think maybe you have. I've told you, I like spent the years of the nightmare anime and going through slush files. Just like, I just feel like the guy from fucking shooter chopping wood in front of his cabin. Well, I did bring you on. I gave this a lot of thought. I did bring you on because you're probably, you probably give the most thought to a joke. Like, I can't imagine jokes just flying up the top of your head and you not revising them. So there's you understand the degree of effort and self-torture that goes into making a good joke. Right. And so you will probably feel most disrespected by what we're about to do. I also feel like a lot of these, they feel like someone trying to write a joke and trying to do that,

trying to take that path to finding the perfectly revised and refined punchline and taking a wrong turn and then building up that wrong turn. And I feel like that would be a big part of solving these is being able to retrace those wrong turns. Yes, well, murder mystery. This is comedy forensics. It is on a corpse to be clear. We are dissecting a corpse to figure out who killed it and how. It is voting and farting every time we pierce it.

All right, welcome to a hotdog criminal intent. No, no, SVU. We're going for a special item to you. Absolutely. Okay, so we're starting with number one in the that's for you. We're going to go to the next. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so we're starting with number one in the email I sent you. And let's go with Denard. Just explain to me what's going on. Give me a visual. Give me a, give me a reading. Okay, so it screams go comics from the second you see the art and I feel the fear. And then, so yeah, Compute Tune by one Charles Boyce.

We have a office worker. He has generic sardonic face and he's walking into his, I guess it's supposed to be a corporate office. Looks sort of like maybe a home office, but there's a booster seat on his chair. I know it's a booster seat because it has the words booster seat on it like a political cartoon which it's not a good sign for. It looks like a me I guess like a make your own meme style like intentionally bad label. Yeah, he typed it on there.

He did not. He did not draw it. And then the caption which I'm sure is going to thread this whole needle for me. A reminder of what intellectual state Simon was in during his last computer visit. Just just a And if you could, uh, if you could look kind of towards the top there. What year is this cop? We're right. That's a 10-11. Oh 2010.

2010. He is my. Oh, yeah, it's joke. So the fuck is this mean? Okay. So she see obviously he was a big old baby last time he was at the computer. Uh-huh. Why was he a baby? Why was he a baby in this computer? No, no. It's a coincidence that at this point, whether he was throwing a tantrum or being a dumbass, but I feel like it's got to be one of those two.

So maybe he was being a dumbass about computer. Right, he was on the computer and he was like, she's being a real baby about it. Surely this cannot be the extent of the observation, there has to be something. You see, I was staring at it. For a second, I thought I'd figured something out. It was like, oh, he's being a baby.

And then the rest of my brain catches up and says, what does that mean? What does that mean? Exactly. I have no data for it. I don't know if I haven't had enough of the spice of a rakis or something, but What if Simon is someone the author hates and like this was a guy who said compitune sucks and And so now this is his way of like being all that that giant baby hated my thing like I mean this if you add the the tone of an insult

It's starting to gel for me. Now, that actually, that makes a scary amount of sense. I might have it. Except, as we'll get into in a little bit, Simon is a self-insert. That's Charles Boise. Okay. So it's maybe self-deprecation, I guess it's supposed to be?

Like, I am a little baby on my computer. Right. And then the best way to say that is a reminder of what intellectual states Simon was in during his last computer visit. Yeah. It's got a lot of virgin energy, but like he could have been doing something pervy.

He could have been like Google and like diaper babies or something. Oh yeah, it could be baby fetish. Oh, he's like one of those early web ads where the girls playing with the balloon and you're looking at like, oh, that's sexual now. This is what sex is now.

What's she gonna do with that balloon? Oh, she thought so. And he Well, she's gonna do that balloon. I hope she finds it. And he loves... Keep that in the podcast. He's definitely, he's like, shying away from the computer and he has a look of disgust. I think that could be it.

Like, I remember, I remember what I was... The shame of what I was doing here. His pants look a little undone. Yeah, I hope so. You just got the shit kicked out of him. Which is probably part of it. It's fighting the fight and baby fetish. Baby fetish.

Holy shit, I think I'm self-sacred. I'm really glad that his nondescript faces lend themselves to these voreshatch, eight-blot readings. Yeah. I like that he didn't to finish drawing anything in this panel. He just left it all off. And then he tied Booster seat on it and then he called it a computer visit,

like a long, that couldn't even, I was gonna say like my grandpa, no, my grandpa didn't call that shit. Like, you would have to be long dead. Yeah, that's uniquely weird. Is this guy from left to right in this it like slowly transforms from like an office to his home. Yeah, everything has this unfinished thing.

Like it's like he starts to draw a door frame. He's like, hey, you get it. It's a door frame. It starts to draw a bookshelf. Yeah, yeah, you get it. Like there's a leg missing from the desk, that there's an entire side missing from the desk. Yeah.

Okay, it hasn't finished the keyboard. It's just kind of a... It's that intentional, is that part of what it's saying? He's yada yadaing the comic strip, he's drawing. Yeah, you get whatever this is. Yeah, it tells us it's the important part. What is it? The important part's booster seat.

I'll draw the whole booster seat. I'll write booster seat on it. Okay, it has to I think we've landed on what he's trying to say, which is this man is ashamed of his fighting base. Fighty-beattish. 100%. I don't get what the joke is. There's nothing fighting about a fighting baby fetish. I met Charles voice. I know what you've done. I know about the fighting baby fet. And I'd be very confident that he would gasp. You know, I look at this and I think that, it's like a genetic ancestor of the sort of gaming

webcomic, like, you know, there's that sort of tech focus and theory. Right. But there's so much like of a crankshaft or a lock horns thing in its DNA that. I don't know if it's an anchor. It's an anchor being computers. Yeah.

And it feels very strange to say this, but it almost teaches me that the like random violence and deep cut references that are in like your architipical bad gaming web comic are like evolution like it's better than this which is better. It's amazing Necro-casm. Yeah, all right. We I think we figured out what he's trying to say We didn't even come close to what the joke might be so let's move on We'll take our point and move on to number two. All right. It's the second volley. All right, okay This is from last year 2022

And it's a guy that's computer. He's got glasses and kind of a fade, a little bit of a dated fade. It says, the screen says, in Comic Sans, you located it. It's two clicks to the left, and six clicks to your right. And the caption says, Pete's persistence paid off and searching for his confidence. What? What? What?

Fucking what? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?

What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?

What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? I guess. Yeah. Just, they're gonna unarmed him in mind. Find nail marks, what he was trying to call himself that. I think, is he even, I wonder if he's even truly bad at comedy, or if he just is trapped,

like he just knows another, like this is like if I had a daily comic strip about biochemistry. Right. And 15 years in, I am just googling like his ATP was pretty low today. That's something, right? One quick correction. It's 30 years. 30 years. This even be started out. This being 2022. It is 30 years experience at work in this comic. Oh my god. It is 30 years experience at work in this comic. Oh my God.

So even if he had started out as a true blue technological ace, time and hope and God have left him behind. You will also notice there is a bizarre square that has been deleted from a corner of it. That's not my error. That's part of the comic. He will just, he'll randomly copy paste things or delete it. In this case, That's part of the comic. He will just, he'll randomly like copy paste things or delete it. Uh, in this case, he, he deleted part of the gradient and he put back there. I'm assuming maybe while, while he was typing that text and then he, he dragged it and moved it and, and, and Oh my god. Exactly right. That's the same size as that text box. Yeah. So same size as the text box.

I'm like, oh man, you, you're compu like, um, forens, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it Older and weirder than paint. Now, there's a good question. Like, what was the gimp of its era? Right. The word, he's using word perfect as his illustrator. Something that ran on a compact, for sure.

So this guy, Pete, he's searching for his confidence. Yes. And that's the punchline and the premise. And somehow. And he found it with his persistence and it's almost incoherent. Like it has the tone of like a treasure map, like two clicks to the left and six clicks to your right, which I think it's been hidden on it. And it's been in this half-time interview. It's for a clicks to your right. That's such a small I didn't even think of that, but yeah, what the...

But that's not of course how you find things on the... It's very strange I can't... You look at it and you can tell it's sort of supposed to be more of like a personal joke filter through the technology, which is a fine idea. And I feel almost bad basically smacking this guy for not knowing what these boxes do or why we're all obsessed with them or why his career is alchemically sealed into talking about technology. He doesn't understand. Yeah.

What a Twitter nightmare. They might as well ask him to write this comic in a different language every week. It would be, I swear to God, it would be exactly as coherent and probably accidentally funny or like, this is, so Pete is searching for his confidence on the computer. Somehow that's, that's, that's, that's your main to the job that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that he's been searching for confidence on the computer. And he, it's a matter, it's a matter of clicks that it's been hiding on his computer.

It has been hiding on his computer. I'm going nowhere. Like this, I'm not even close to meaning anything. So, what we need to do, we need to abandon what we know that clicks mean and just understand that to him it is a unit of computer effort. I think that's good. So, he's finally put enough, he's put enough clicks into the box. Yeah, that he's found the prize. Maybe it's like gambling. It's like a Pacinco or something. You put enough in, you're going to get something and for Pete that's confidence. I have a wild card. When you see someone speed running a

video game like Zelda Ocarina of Time, there's a weird code you just put in, like, big, big, up, up, up down, whatever. And it like, skips to the ending or like jumps through a wall or something. What if that's what he's doing to like reality itself? He's just kind of putting in like a weird input code that interfaces with reality in such a strange way that it skips him ahead to where it is confident. Just, I'm throwing it out there. I'm thinking outside the box. I like that like glitching reality. There's a joke there. It's unfortunately a three panel joke and this is his second page. If you are not Gary Larson, I do not know why does

this still like a mainstream American format? Because if you are not Gary Larson, these single panel strips are hell. They're still hard to nail. Heathcliff is the only one that nailed it by just being like, fuck it. I'm a tiny slice of a really weird world. And that's it. It's not even a joke.

It's just like, fuck, and what is this? I don't know. There you go. And I cracked. I did these family circus articles where I would take family service, which is, again, terrible. And I would, like, rewrite them to sort of be funny with, like, whatever, like my best

effort. And it was so hard. It was like genuinely, like, fucking, how do you take this weird thing and write a punchline to it? I had the advantage of the meta context of, like, I'm making fun of the original nonsense. But even so, I was like, it's such a difficult job to just be like, yeah, here's a picture in a punchline. I'm gonna do one every week, it's about computers.

That is like four layers deep of being on a balance beam in a unicycle and, I don't know, you have to use... I'm gonna say I'll fire. I'll fire you. I have to only use use Hulk Hogan quotes. Right. I would watch this. I would watch the hell out of this.

All right, so we have not figured out anything about this one. No points. Yeah, that's fine. Oh, well, I am killing our average here. All right, Brock, is it your turn to describe this one? Where do you just not want to do any? Is it just me and Denar describing these? I said we were on a team, but I... All right.

You can be Shang soon. I understand why the Shang soon confuses. I'm in my head. I was going to do that. But I also specifically wrote down in the rules that I'm on part of your team. And so it just doesn't seem, it doesn't seem right. I'm always Johnny Cage.

I'm calling him before you do tonight. All right. All right, fine. I'll just be like, I know who's the move ninja rain. Was he rain? That's right. Okay, our next one is... Motaro. I want to be American Gladiators Malibu as Motaru. I changed my mind. Is it in arts? What are we doing now?

Oh, a prop is with that. I was going along with your mortal combat. Motaro, that's... Go ahead. Motaro allows it. Presumably. That's Lotara Eliza We've already lost our minds There's got through two we've got through two and I have no idea which talk it like I don't even speak English anymore

All right my comp you tune The same exact shlobby men which are the only men that he can draw, are, I'm guessing their clones, they're clone stamped, of course. And they're both looking down in dismay at a computer that has like vibration lines on it and a progress bar I'm assuming. One of the men is of course not finished at all. And they are visible eraser marks all over. What a fucking hero. He was not willing to

re-draw in any way shape or form. This is from 2019 and one of the men is holding a hamburger and the other man is saying, the aroma from your fast food is causing the system to process faster. Can I throw one visual detail on this pile? It's very important to me. The monitor is boxier than any computer I have owned. At the copyright on this strip is in drumroll 2019. 2019.

These are the oldest computers everybody is ever seen. Like this is the first computers ever made that he's still drawing here. Yeah, like there's this is like an any act or omnivac or something that is. I think these guys work for the government. This is this is DARPA. This is what DARPA looks like. I feel like we didn't even pretend we don't get it. This is the food, it's fast food, so it makes other things fast. He doesn't, obviously the aroma of fast food is not a computer fast.

The fact that you're skipping over, but that's why would the aroma of fast food, the aroma specifically of fast food make a computer go faster. That's just an overthink, and we shouldn't overthink that. That's just him trying to make it sound more scientific, maybe. This is my favorite so far because it makes perfect sense as long as you're insane. Yeah, it makes perfect sense on first blush And then if you why why is it the aroma? Why is the computer smelling it? Why is it processing faster? Why would you believe any of those things like you get it to look at it? But it's pure madness what you get

get it to look at it, but it's pure madness what you get. This is a heavy test of his idea of polish. This is him polishing from the French fries won the race because they were fast food. That's that joke. It is that Joe polishing it in an insane way. Is this yellow wall being the longer I stare at it, the less it feels like part of my world. But when I was just walking casually by, it almost made sense. I was just for more folks on that air that looks like a mouth, which really does add

to the madness effect that this entire surface. It's visible, eraser lines. It's such a good way to communicate, just chaos. Like I've lost my mind, but I'm trying to hold it together. I'm still passing hold it together. I'm still passing in certain scenarios. But Charles Wright, I'll give us full points, full points. Five points for that one. We understood what the joke was and what he was trying to say, but he said it like a madman. All right, so denard you're

up next. Okay, my game coming up here, another Charles Boy Special. Here we have a, we have a Shlub variant. I want to say like this is a tin foil card, a Shlub. And he's staring at a webcomic, not a webcomic, I'm focused on webcomics because this thing's just making me think about comic history and how we have all gone mad in every medium, but he's staring at a webcam and on the computer. He is a Christine and I mean drawn with the same like non-effort, but like he's a prettier version of himself

whereas the real him has all of our hideous human features like I don't know, stubble and zits. And the hair on the left is supposed to be worse, which is funny, because he draws everyone the same. So you know it's supposed to be different, but then you look and it's the fucking same, but that's not what's important. Then there is a caption. Oh, also the boxy computer again, still there.

It's sort of our main character. It's like the, it's like Shlub A. It's boxy computer and Shlub A are a unit in the classic couple. Exactly. And our caption are, artful caption here. One good thing about HD is you can still look good even on your worst days. I don't know what that voice was. I think that's a side effect of like, Mike. Trying to make it, you made it sound good. At least it sounded good.

All right, I'm glad that sounded good. I think it's a side effect of my ad agency days. Like you just have to pretend to be Don Draper where people didn't know you existed. Yeah, it was definitely, this is the ad for Computeune that you're like, oh, that sounds like fun strip. Yeah, it was definitely, this is the ad for for Computeune that you're like, oh, that sounds like fun strip.

Yeah, this is how it gets syndicated. Okay, so we feel like this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what HD means and how it works. Yes, it is obviously it has to be opposite. Yeah. Is that the joke that like we all know what that means? And he knows what it means and he's saying the wrong thing? I don't fucking know. I'm supposed to, I'm violating my old comedy martial arts suck as this would be chopping his ankles.

But I just imagine they just have this old bad trap that this fucking desk and he's being asked to make jokes about 21st century technology Yeah, he doesn't know how a fucking webcam What did you think Do you have any quite the have any questions about the fucking legislative branch for a while you're at it? legislative branch for a lawyer at it. I don't know. No, no, no.

Drop a comic about that, motherfucker. Again, copy right 2019, in case you're thinking, maybe it's talking about old tech, not no, it's 2019. Like, he's clearly under the impression that some kind of advanced smoothing AI, which, I guess that kind of thing would start happening a little after this strip came out. So it's not even like the filters thing makes sense for it. Yeah.

Yeah, it was around that, but that's also at HT is not a filter. And I'm not sure why his webcam has vibration lines all over it. Like it's struggling as hard as it can. Is that like a leftover from the fast food? Wait, is that part of the joke? That's to draw our attention to it. Okay, just to look at it. Yeah, that's his political cartoonist instincts.

It's a reverse rapeseed puppeteer. It's the bars of his fucking cage. Yeah, that's just him screaming to play out. Manifesting himself. That's my bad vibrations. They shocked him because he tried to get some sleep sitting up. This is so fucking crazy. I don't I don't I just don't I don't, I don't, I just don't. I don't have a guess at this one, unless, unless what Sean said that it's supposed to be funny how wrong he is, I don't wanna give him that credit because also I don't, it's not, it's not funny,

even if that was the case. It's also, I mean, I don't wanna ascribe the totality of someone's vision, but even in the good version of this, this doesn't feel like his Sensibility of humor to do that Like this comic is intentionally wrong. Yes. It doesn't if that was if that was the joke It would be the only coherent joke I could think of and it would not it would not function in this comic

I don't like a This one gale Simone thing and he's like trolling people. Like he's, he's trying to get us to mansplain to him what HD is and that's, that's what he takes satisfaction is. He wants this to get comments of like, oh, it's fucking idiot. Doesn't even know what HD is and he's just like, aha, I do so. Oh man, I want to see the Charles voice land mine comics.

You fooled it means hard disk. I understand. That's good. I also like his choice to to draw human hair as like an insect swarm. I feel like that's. He's like a contempt sports human beauty like everybody's so gross. And he's like, you know what, make him even grosser is if all their hair was bugs. I think he must have some sort of brush setting that he found that he's like, I can just tap it

over and over again. And that makes that texture good enough. And like, that's the best hair I can draw. So therefore, everybody has that hair. Yeah. I feel like, you know, I feel like drawing like black hair is a thing that artists struggle with. But I don't think it's there yet. I guess. I think what I like about it in the way that I use the word like in which I have turned into something mutant and strange. But what I like about it is that it's like black hack work. Like this is like a kind of incompetence you don't normally see. Because it's underrepresented. Oh yeah, this is like the opposite of black excellence. This is like black failing.

Right. You've never listen to this. Still listen to me. People. It's generally the white people who fail upwards. And here we're seeing the opposite of that. In a way, this is kind of empowering. Yeah.

And it's really weird to think like the end of his personal like eight mile road journey is like a 14 year old and say mama when I grew up I'm gonna make the first black piece of shit web Oh, it's a live in a world where it's possible honey, that's the dream, that's one you know we've made it And that is dad's like you got to be realistic, boy, if you're going to make it, it's really to be at least mediocre. No, I'm going to suck. I'm going to show you I could suck. I'll be allowed. I'll be allowed to suck. That's true. I'm going to be a equality. I'm going to be right above the lock horns. All right, we get no points. No points for everyone. Yeah, don't we figure that we made no progress.

Someone is going to send me the meanest letter of my life about that one. Yeah, almost certainly. And you will, if they do, you will know pseudonym of Charles Boyce. Sean, you're up next. All right, here we go. This looks like 2023, I think, so very recent.

And it's a guy he's quite a shlob. He's balding, he's thinking, that must have been back when I was a regular. He's got a laptop on his lap. In searching for normalcy, Fred stumbled across some images of himself not looking normal. Oh no. Oh no.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh the fuck. So begins. So. Okay, so he's searching for normalcy. Yes. Wow. This is expanding my Charles Boyce character a little.

Yeah. Because I think this is more of a fragmented confusion about normal reality instead of the technology. Right. When he said that, I'm even taking that one out to the next. I'm like, he's not going to do a poop joke. I'm really glad that he didn't.

But this is a madness grenade. He's searching for normalcy. That's not a thing I understand. And then while he's doing that, he's found images of himself not looking normal. So he's... He still hasn't found the normalcy. And it part of that's his fault because he put the non-normal images of himself on the internet. Well, I guess he might be on the internet. He might be like honest, like, local drive just looking through his old photos. But the joke must be that he thinks he's done it somehow, because he says that must, that must of, he's supposed to, must of, must of,

back when I was a regular. So I'm not a regular anymore, but he's still looking for enormous. You guys have hit your like, Benson's Stabler Perry here, because I think you have actually translated this comic, which the text basically says, my teeth are me of bees. Right.

Right. The text says, I've gone off my medication, somebody alerted my granddaughter. His hair is made of turments. That's not a joke, that's just what they are. Did he fuck up this wrong really badly, or does that guy have the Mandarin rings? I think he's got the Mandarin's. Can control like the elements and in an unfortunate straight to DVD movie, I own a terracotta army.

He might be mole rat. These could be mole rat hands. Yeah, they're either mole rat hands or he's wearing 15 rings. I the the computer seems like is more movement lines on the computer. I'm not sure why that's is that something? Is that I think that's, is that something? Is that part of it? I think this is a natural Wi-Fi line. By his standard, this is now normal. Banded nail pants, 12 rings on each hand, termite hair. That's normal. And then just looking at pictures of when he wasn't this, and that's when he says that's when I wasn't normal. That's just,

I want, I think we learned something important. I don't think it helps us solve this comic, but it might serve us well in the future. These are like amazing hieroglyphs for one person. Not whole civilization. Just figuring out one person's hieroglyphs. Yeah. This is like, this is him,

he's trying to communicate. And it's like that, that's, it's like Darmak and Jalat and Star Trek, where it's all, you have to understand his personal history and the way his mind is broken in a way that he can just communicate a whole concept to you and you're supposed to be like, I know what that means. I kind of want a cocktail. I think this means tune.

You're right about that. Yes. I want to copy you to an anthology now, because I think by the end, I would like know a new language that can only use a one person. You could speak after that. After we're done, three people will speak voice. And I can reach out to him and say, where are they holding you? We can try to, like, to try an effort. I want to point out something that has been bothering me

staring at this comic is that he's not a competent letterer after 30 years. Like, look at his thought bubble is a perfect oval. And he has the three lines of text in the top line is the whitest, which is obviously not, how you want to do that. And it's very frustrating to me. It's a good thing they didn't make a guy who couldn't use a calm tablet.

Make a comic and a fucking technology. Yeah, really straight years. All right, once again, no points. No points awarded to us. Damn. All right, our next, our next cop you tune. It is, I'm not sure what this room is supposed to us. All right, our next, our next comp you to him. It is, I'm not sure what this room is supposed to be. It's the waiting room for a test room.

And I know that because in very crudely drawn letters, it says test room with an arrow and sitting on some, I'm assuming they're supposed to be floral chairs are two crash test dummies that kind of look like his shelubs anyway.. You can't do anything else. And they are both on what looks like what looks like blackberries. This is oh, this is 2008. This is appropriate for the time. I they're like a step past the foot phone. And one is saying to

the other, who's benefiting from us taking these online crash courses? Oh, no. Holy hell. After everything. I forgot to even mention the unfinished, like, you drew a quarter of a room and then stopped. I'm like, what if you can scrap door? You can think like, maybe it's supposed to be the artful suggestion of something that you can mentally fill out, but it's just like random squares. It's nothing. And he's also left Eraser marks everywhere again. This is what I was talking about earlier, is that he's talking about taking online courses. He's like, I'm going to do a comic about online courses.

That's a thing. And then he's like online courses, online courses, racing courses, crash course, crash course. And that's what happened. Then he said online crash course who would take an online crash course? Right. Who then? Right. Like this feels like him polishing the wrong turn of the wrong turn. And this one and he's so deep in it, he doesn't remember what what he was going for, what's funny. And I see this a lot in the terrible joke books, I review, where you sit down to write

a thousand jokes in a day and like a couple of men up like this. Or all of them if you're Charles Boyce, I guess. For 30 years. This Frankenstein's monster of a joke is crazy. Because however much he sends down or bends it or twists it, there's a problem that he's decided to make a fucking Crash Test dummy joke in 2008. Like, if this was somehow sane, it would be hack.

Yeah, it would be 20, at least 20 years too late. Only madness is saving this comic in a way. Yeah, there's nothing. So the crash test dummies are, I'm assuming he thinks that what they have to do is call the crash course. It's not. But if it is, if crashing a dummy in a car

is called the crash course, then they're doing it online and nobody benefits from that. Right. Now the blackberry is important. So I don't think that they're going to some sort of a physical simulation. I feel like they're doing, they're crashing on the phones. Yeah, they're taking it, but they're taking a test. Like the way they're holding their phones

and looking to each other, they're taking the test, which negates this entire premise. Just a little more focus. So any falling to the earth. Reality anchored by puns, but our characters haven't even accepted that reality. You basically built the world wrong and now you're shouting at me

for reading your wrong world. You know what I fucking mean, right? Look, I didn't pull it off, but you know what I was going for. No, no I don't. I know. Yeah, again, there's also no message here, which is, I guess you'd almost forgive it

if you could tell what he wanted out of anything, right? Like, is he trying to make a slap? Is he trying to like tell us that the GOP is trying to kill us? Is there anything to take from this value of anyway and there isn't? This one is clearly about global warming. Okay, that's it. And we solved this one, five points.

Oh my gosh. No points, no points awarded for this. Yeah, zero points. We are at a total of six points so far. If I showed this to Charles Boyce, do you think he'd be embarrassed about it? Do you think he'd be like, dude, not all these means something or would'd be like, dude, not always mean something

or would he be like, I'm definitely gonna do that. I think it's just some stuff. I think he'd say, well, you know, sometimes when you're wifey and your Photoshop, you end up routing yourself. I think you still got it. You still got a child. You got a child. You got a child. Who is why they pay you?

They pay you. Oh, man. All right. If anyone is getting his checks stolen by his agent, it is definitely Charles Boyce. You haven't earned this. I'm the one who knows. Charles Boyce's agent is a miracle worker. My God. Amazing. Denard, you're up next. I'm the one who knows. Charles Blythe's agent is a miracle worker. My God, amazing.

Denard, you're an up next. I'm gonna prove that to you. No point to work. For the last round. Oh, damn, I'm getting my ass kicked by Charles' voice. Oh, I feel like a logic textbook. Okay, so we have, instead of a racer land, actually, is there a little racer going,

I see it. Yeah, by the face, never mind. But featureless black void, a little bit of greed going on. Got two dudes. Shlub on the left is the sort of Dilbertier tie wearing Shlub, his self-insert Simon,

holding a cell phone, and on Yonder electric phone here he is talking to a guy in a peace shirt I guess he is a hippershlob or a more youthful we'll call him rebel slob it's his idea of freedom in the voice verse and the caption the caption here is, going live with a subject matter like dead weight might not be very popular. Oh my God. Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God. 20, 23. 20, 23. Okay. Long live. But this subject matter like dead weight. Might not be very popular. What could that mean? What does is not like dead weight. Might not be very hot.

What could that mean? What does he mean by dead weight? So dead weight is another one of his, all right, so I think one of the key paradigms of translating comp you to, and all the simons hate themselves. Okay. And that at least gives you a root for the language he's trying to speak. So he's dead, he's the dead weight, the guy in the piece shirt is the dead weight. Yeah, like, yeah, he's describing himself or at the or being negative at something else.

Okay. And in this version of going live, like, I guess in his version of Instagram, the words, dead weight will be playing on loop in the background, like the fucking music coming from a thousand miles of love to craft story. That's how he understands, understands reels, of course. So he's going, so it's social media.

You think it's talking about something, something social media. Going live is supposed to mean social media. Yeah, like you're, yeah, like some kind of twitch shit or Instagram live or his version of it. Because this is the voice verse. So it's not, it's not the world that we see. It's that mirror place where a doctor strange runs the budget of the movie up a bit.

That makes sense. Is black and white world full of amazing eraser graphics? Swat just worlds of smudge hair. Eggs, Zach the Boondah. Going live with it. So he's saying, is he trying to say this post about you being down on yourself isn't going to get a lot of likes? Is that how Keyd would interpret that sentence?

That is how it would be. Yeah, but how is that? Who would find that funny? I don't know what the, I'm assuming that there was supposed to be a joke there, though. So if we work on the assumption that this is ultimately at least supposed to be a joke, that can't be it. I can't be right. But it might have a message. This might be him saying, Hey, don't just go on Instagram and post really sad stuff. Imagine if he was saving somebody with this. I'm going to save some kids life. So maybe this is a very special copy tune This is Charles voices like fucking revival era

Eminem things saying believe in yourself. Yeah Someone tells you to take shit tell them to eat shit kind of thing. I don't yeah You kids are all right Cheer up and and by that I mean going live with the subject matter like dead weight might not be very popular However, you can say it. Yeah, I'm not a computer guy Yeah, that's your slang right all right. I'm gonna give us one point for that one that we might we might have figured out something Coherent to say with it. I'm not confident. Yeah, that's what I'm saying Well, there but there's something.

So there's something maybe I'm kind of befuddled that this is from the range of years we had is like what 2007 to 2023, right? It's 1994. Oh, 1994. Where is the line work glow up going? It's not happening. It's, it's, it's never happening. I don't know why I'm shouting to ether here. If anything, it's maybe gone, you start to see more like, no, you don't. If you're consistent, consistent errors just all throughout. He has one speed. He's stuck in first gear. He's on the highway. He's scared. They're trucks passing him. He's trying to get home, but he doesn't know where home is. It's just a tragedy. I think you just wrote one of his comics. 2022 is the year from this. It's two guys in a desert island, a tiny of the ones you can already picture. So perfect, perfect setup. They're perfect tablo for you, Moth. Because it was

in the far side, of course. Right. And they're white guys, which is unusual. And one of them saying, you ever had an out-of-body experience, but couldn't recognize yourself because thieves stole your identity? Wow, so they reject the the desert island premise instantly. Yeah, that has nothing Don't does it And he's maybe the image the image doesn't matter here. We must go purely And he's maybe the image the image doesn't matter here. We must go purely purely into the literary world of Charles Boyle. He's in order to escape this way and this this dance among the words. So you have a lot of body experience. But when you look down at yourself, you don't recognize yourself because Steve stole your identity,

meaning they replaced it with a different identity. So when you came out of your body since somebody else had your credit cards, and they changed. Why are you having an out of body experience right as the steal your identity? Like is this inception? Is it in SEP? And inception?

I feel like this is just a coincidence. This is happening at the same time. I think you have a point there. This is what you start to see if like the top just keeps spinning at the end of the movie. This is where your brain degrades as you're trapped in your own reality. There are random squares just in the background in the sky for no reason. Like maybe he meant to put cloud artwork in them. I think that's the dream collapsing.

It's like a techno. It is. It's like there's some sort of malfunction happening in the image. Also, the other guy, the guy he's saying this to just has a question mark over his head. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? He's just a normal guy listening to this a, it's a compitune, makes me feel like I'm on page like 175, out of 180 in like a Lewis Carroll book. Like you've just flipped to it cold without anything else. Yeah, without anything else. And we're already at the point where Alice is just rocking with everything now and she's like,

sure, yeah, you're talking, Karen, I don't care. Yeah, who gives a shit? I'm starting to think maybe none of this was meant to be funny, and this is somehow how agencies are sending messages to each other or seek the same. It's kind of an emergency record when you're interfacing with something like this, is like, what if,

like I am not supposed to understand this in any way? What if this is encoded? Yeah, that is where a coward's mind goes. Yeah. When faced with such blunt insanity. I'm worried I pulled that up on number eight. I should have saved it. I do like that. It's so far as every time a comp you tune joke goes completely flat, like maximal comp you tune. It's someone just screaming extraction needed extraction needed free out of four of us are dead Oh my god. There's so many dead. They're dying all this this this fine network is being fucking wiped out Somebody's got a hold of their their list. Oh

Yeah, yeah, there's a skyfall leak going on here. They got some issues to deal with Over the past 30 years they've been everybody they've ever known has been exterminated. You ever had like a Baptist most, is that if you would have gone with the other cliche, if you would have had a dog on a psychiatrist couch, and he was saying this, it would make more sense than the two guys that had that. It completely would, is it? That is impossible. That was supposed to be at the joke. That has you mixed up his tropes in the art And it's like I'm gonna seal from Gary Larson on this one, but the wrong Yes, but not the dog on the couch. I feel like that's a real joke

I feel like you could almost count on your audience speaking that visual language and that's a play on that this That's the joke here is that's using the wrong, like cliche. I think that's bang on and, wait, what country am I going to say bang on, whatever. Blame the common little thing. It's tip top bang on. I know, this is me coming off of that royal family game show. This one. Do you have media on the sunboard? The least god's her meatloafs released.

It's meatloaf. Come on, meaty. And I don't think meatloaf will ever catch that onion. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll just go all all night. I love the the mallet in that laugh. Yeah, that's a that entire show is is special and assembled of a similar level talent to

comp you tune. Look how hard we keep trying to we keep keep running to the soundboard. Play something for the soundboard. Come on. Just fight again. So yeah, I don't know. Okay, if I were to go actual boring tech on this for a second, I kind of makes me think about how you started the episode talking about all of these are like 3000 revisions deep. And I can kind of see that happening with the visual. Like you said, he starts out with the dog in the chair

and then he thinks, oh shit, maybe this is kind of boring, he's kind of stuck. Maybe I can make this better. If I try to go like that one, dig your mood. Right. But there's that weird thing with comedy and distance where I think if he just understood that his default position is so far removed from human not human like logic that he just needs a claw as close to the way we think is possible.

He could almost be saved. Then it would be like a sort of a sweet spot of absurdism maybe where there's enough reality that the thing he's saying is strange and not completely like wrong. Like he's starting, he's trying to get on that Heathcliff jam at this point at 2022. He's like the kids love the Heathcliff. Yeah, they love me. I love him. I'm trying to make him so random. Yeah, but it's not that it. But it's just not the move you make when you're already confusing it. Okay, the far meager way to say. What I'm getting at, which is everything the only way I can communicate now because I've broken myself.

Is that puns don't work if you're fucking crazy. And here we have a pun just anchored by three layers of meds. That's what I wanted to get out of this one. I want to give us points for that, but I don't think we did it. I don't think we did anything. I think it's his, he overworks everything. If you hadn't had a body experience but couldn't recognize yourself because your identity got stolen. That sucks, but it sucks less than

because thieves stole your identity. Like adding those thieves, it undercuts the word play. I don't know, I have notes on this joke because I think I get what he was going for. Is it like having a out of body experience, is that affected by your identity being stolen? It's something most writers I think would reject pretty quickly as like a dead end, but

here he is. You're loosely connected with me and nothing's matched together. Right. I could see a brain going there and then, nah, there's nothing there, but his doesn't. His doesn't have that like, oh, this makes no sense. But his doesn't. His doesn't have that like, oh, this makes no sense. This isn't funny. He's like almost almost got it. Almost kudos to him for that belief in himself. His confidence, the confidence to carry this off for 30 years. Like, it must be just sheer confidence. He must be so confident that everybody involved

with publishing this is just like, I must just not get it. I must just not be smart enough. Right. I'm not really technically minded. I guess I don't operate on that Charles Boyce level. He's been doing this 30 years, he. All right, Sean, because Sean's so confident

and we need the points so badly, I will give us five points for that one. Oh, yeah. Miner one. Oh, yeah, I Oh, man, are we crack double digits? Yes, we are at 12. We have 12 points. I can smell that bronze medal. All right, whose turn is it? My turn. It's my turn. Yeah. Okay, this one is 2013. We have our first Shlub woman. She's staring at the the computer box, which is being very generous.

That he can't even draw a box anymore. Like this is like self-portraiture as you lose your mind. It's like an ornate grandfather clock. It's just, it has archers and points. Yeah, this is like you can't, I've tracked every day as I lost my mind to psilocybin overdose. From health to now. And this is my mental state, this is what I think a computer looks like Is this what the computers look like and like those early busted up versions of the matrix that agent Smith was talking about like It's just the world is glitching Is this a real copy to premise?

I'm not I have no idea what happened to him here the computer itself has a question mark over it's Head as though it's like, huh? And the caption is, it bothers Irma to know no matter what she initiates, the computer gets all the credit. What the fuck is he talking about? Holy shit. What the fuck could that possibly mean? This is my favorite comic ship of all time. I am so happy that this image and this word together exists. I only know where to start. She hates it. The computer itself is confused. It's like, what? What's happening? So she initiate something. Do we imagine that means like a program? Like she turned on a, she opens a program. What was a program? Okay. And the computer gets all the credit for starting it up even though she made the choice. She had the intentionality of starting it but the computer

did all the work. Who's giving the computer credit? Why would you give a compute? What? Right. It bothers Irma to know what, no matter what she initiates, the computer gets all the credit. So whatever she starts on this computer, people are like, that computer rules Irma. Right. So it's almost the reverse of how the world works.

Like if you're the CEO of a company, and you like release a new iPhone and then everyone's like, wow, that CEO of Apple, he did it. And then like all the people who made that iPhone are like what the fuck why is he getting all the credit? It's the reverse of that Because Irma here is The CEO of the house and the computer is like the the worker and so she thinks this The crazy sentence is coming out of your mouth

that you're like, this explains it. This explains it. She's the CEO of the house, you understand. This explains how he's fundamentally backwards in the premise. If I could defend this argument, because I also have a gas leak in my home. That's what I'm saying.

a gas leak in my home. It makes sense if you just like abandoned the sort of thin chains of our reality and accept that these are basically comic strips within a speculative fiction universe. Like they just have a different logic chain. Yeah. And I'm saying in this world, people give, don't you, like the Jerry Seinfeld of this world is like, don't you hate everyone just gives the computer credit for everything you do?

No. No. So if Erma sends an email and someone gets that email, did they say, oh, say thank you to your computer for me, I received your email intact. Yes, that is what he is saying about the world. And for the more, here's the wrinkle that little question mark above the computer

fucks everything up, no matter what you try to do. I got nothing of that. What does that mean? Why is the computer like, huh? Yeah, all right, tell you what, we're going to do a clap break. I'm going to read the entirety of like Scott McCloud's like sequels to understanding comics and shit. Yes, please.

I'm going to read all of Scott Adams of the God delusion. So I can understand the innate philosophy of the universe. And I'm going to read this caption over and over for seven hours. All right. Here we go. I didn't get it. What actually? What? Others are mad bothers her. It bothers her.

It bothers her. Something bad happened to me guys. This is great because it would make even less sense if I tried drugs. Like drugs would not bring me closer to understanding these complex trips. It's just gonna make you cooler. And this shit is for nerds. I thought it was when I heard the name Computeune when I heard the premise, I thought it was gonna be for nerds, but this doesn't, again, this man is basically being asked to like write

his comics in sans screw as far as he understands the computer is right yeah he's like an ask crushing super jack that's probably why this is what you this is what you look like to me nerds oh man he really should work now now I get it in Oh shit, it didn't start in the work. This is what you guys think is funny. This is all him just making fun of like shredded mousse or some penny arcade clone in his brain. But he's been doing it since 20 years before they existed. Okay.

Because he started, I said 94 is when it got picked up, but he started in a newsletter at his company. And that was in like the mid 80s. So he's been doing this for so many years. Somehow this madness was an underground favorite that became some like a mainstream public success. Like how this is the most important this is honestly kind of creative rock. If you like it gives me hope that I don't have to really learn anything or improve or communicate whole ideas to other humans.

I've got enough. You know what, Charles, boys, thank you. I'm good enough right here. And it's the world that's wrong. Yeah, like this, this is like the ugly duckling for people that majored in not making money. I'm, I'm really thank you, Charles.

It has the opposite effect on me. Like this is existentially terrifying because I always thought like, the most interesting stuff collapses, I have talent, I can like go do this. But this shows that like nothing means anything. Like, this has no anchor in reality or talent or. Yeah, it makes me feel a little bit better.

Like I'm between both of you. Like I have, I understand that the world is pure chaos and that merit has nothing to do with anything if this can succeed. But I find that a little inspirational. Like it can happen to me still. It can happen. Yeah, sure.

If we picture this as like a mean spirited control of the elite parody, like, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't to show up delete parody like how it comes together. Yeah, but it would prep, it would it exists decades before it. Yes, I agree. So, but if you ended every one of these captions with that's what you sound like.

You stupid dick like they made it's perfect. They're funny. They're funny. Very funny. All right. So we need to accept that we're at the point in like the Dune books where Frank Herbert has lost his mind. Right. And he is making comics, parodying game restrips from the future.

Right. That he doesn't understand because he's an Ask Crushing Hypergeoc. That's our official theory so far. That's my theory. I think he knows it. I don't know, Ask Crushing Hypergeoc. So far. I think he knows it. I know that's crushing hybrid jobs.

So we have had a lot of 80 minutes of discussion. I've gone, we finally found the root compute. I'm so sorry that I've done this because I said at the start, we have 20 of them. Oh my god. We are just now on number 10. Oh, I'm going through 20 compy tunes trips today. Oh, we have no we have no points from that. We are not. And uh, rock was turn. I didn't like. I did the last one. It is Denard's turn. Okay. So we have everyone. We have something special.

We have a new Shlub. He is a same age bracket or a standard Shlub, same body type, same tie and everything, but he has a different hair type. And when you can only draw like three things like Mr. Voice here, that's a fucking achievement. And this is this is 2008. So he did this once and was like, now that's hard. Yeah, this is human hair, not termite hair. Yeah, this is like a wood paneling hair.

Yeah, wood paneling hair, you're right. So our nušlob is facing away from his computer. His thought bubble says, thanks, ellipses. Meanwhile, we're still in the squiggle box era of monitors, which the monitors in this are basically their own character and you will slowly go mad staring at the butt. What's really important about this monitor is two things. First, it has a sign backwards that says, kick me hard. And second, it has its own little speech bubble,

just as giggle. Giggle. Giggle. It's also, it's bulging out of its frame, like the monitor itself is bulging beyond the line and it's such that I can't tell if Charles voice is saying, like this computer is coming out of its casing somehow. And that means something like it's slipping into reality.

Or if he's just really bad at drawing computers. And he's a combination of fucking careers. I think he's bad at drawing those, but I also feel like this is them. What do you call anthropomorphizing? Like the computer's alive and has its own personality. It's wiggling. It's undulating sexual. Okay, so we have this sexy, sexy computer here, the hottest. Okay, so we have this sexy, sexy computer here, the hottest. And the caption to all of this steamy action, like pure Dick Fight Island stuff here,

leave it to technology to show the true meaning of a pat on the back. This is incredible. So, okay, I made an interpretive mistake here, so it is actually my fault. It's the reflection of his back with things they kick me hard, okay. The computer has put a kick me hard sign on this man.

And we're seeing the reflection of that in it. That's the true meaning of a pat on the back according to this computer. I feel like this one is just like plain. I feel like this is obvious in its intent. It's just when the computer gives you a pat on the back, it's really kick me sign. It's putting a kick me sign on you.

Now, here's why it's betrayed you. Yeah, it's a devil computer. So this is him parodying the X-Bot like fake bender kind of character 20 years ahead of time. Again, Charles Boyce, our hyper-jot king. Shitting on gaming with comics from the future. Lost in time lost in time.

Throan, thrown into the chaos between times. He is ethering Tim Buckley here. I wanna, I wanna try my like fortune cookie in bed thing here. So leave it to technology to show the true meaning of a pat on the back. That's what you sound like. You stupid asshole. But it works. It works.

It works. It works. It works. So in terms of like actually understanding this comic, it may be an important Computeune Rosetta Stone. Because this makes sense to my human eyes and human brain. I can maybe use this as a filter to understand other computune jokes. It makes sense in that it's like, it's like if you hear, there's a, there's a famous Italian song from the 70s where he is singing in what it's English sounds like to him.

Though he doesn't speak English and it's just like this is what you sound like to him, though he doesn't speak English. And it's just like, this is what you sound like to me, you fucking assholes. I'm like, it's that. You're like, because your brain is trying, and your brain almost picks it up. It's like, oh, I almost, no, that's, I almost got the, and so that's what we're dealing here. Is leave it to technology to show the true meaning

of the pad on the back. The computer is padding them on the back, and it's really putting a kick me sign on him. What is the pat on the back from the computer? And then why would that be the trick? Like it makes sense phonetically, like they're the right syllables that you're saying, but there's no order.

There's no intelligence behind them. All that's missing. Go on. So I mean, I've been doing little funny jokes and shit my whole life. And like, when I was like really young, like, fourth to fifth grade, I would do something and I thought it would be funny. Or I'd draw a picture and kind of not know where it was going. And then after I was done, I would kind of like, you know, put a little button on it with

the caption that just would be like embarrassing and sucky. And this feels like he made the kick me sign, like the computer put a kick me sign on this guy. And he's like, I need a caption that. Like he thought that in itself was silly or funny. Or maybe it was just a doodle he didn't even know he was drawing. And now he's like, oh God, I don't know.

The computer put a kick me sign on this guy. And he's trying to just kind of come up with a cute way to put it. I'm saying there's something familiar about this from like when I was just like a child like a total amateur is what I'm saying is that I like this started as like almost a nice personal story about like creative development and it just became a mead insult of this episode. I'm saying, the shit I was embarrassed by in fifth grade

is like what this guy printed. And again though, convinced like I think at peak, it was like 150 newspapers around the country to publish. Shit. No points, no points are awarded. Yeah, we all just got really sad from that one. Yeah, let's move on.

I mean, sad is good. You know, anything makes me feel at this point. Ha, ha, ha. Well, let's see how this one does. This was there in the principal's office and there's a little bald boy talking just an ogre of a creature and there's a little bald boy talking just an ogre of a creature and he's saying, I accidentally deleted my brains in computer class so I was told to wait here

until it grows back. As one does, right? Oh holy shit. I feel like maybe this, maybe Charles Boyce's heard someone say, like, what, you delete your brain or something like, he missed remembers a quote. And. And therefore you have to go to the principal's office to wait for it to grow back. Right, and he's hearing this and he's like, oh, you took something your teacher said very literally.

Like, how long do I have to go to the principal's office and the teacher said like till your fucking brain grows grows back yet fucking asshole and then He went there and took it really literal With this strange potato head now here's here's my question The child is drawn in a roll head. He's in a roll head. Yeah, yeah, absolutely hideously It looks to me as though The brains are supposed to have been deleted. His head is deflated around the lack of brains. It says all very literally happened in the voiceverse.

Which makes me think, yeah, this is like, no, this isn't a joke. This child deleted his brains, which happens here in the madness computer world, I'm trapped in, and they won't let me out. You could delete your brain if you hit the wrong button. If you went there, they're deleting my brain. They're deleting my brains with vaccines and 5G. Somebody has to stop them. I'm the only one who knows.

Stop tackling me. I'm trying to think here like, okay, if I have to talk to a roomful of freshmen about this comic, or I'm not making my adjunct pennies, what would I say about this in nonsense undergradi? Like, do a strientore would say, as you can see, the continued twining between action in the digital universe and our own reality,

the theme is continued through this. It feels politically incorrect the way he draws his head. Yeah, that's what it's about as a brand being gone. This motherfucker is a tooth. Yeah, I'm bull-ed. Yeah. I want to connect it to something because it's an insane decision. But I think Sean's onto it sort of.

I think Sean's onto the root of it. And then maybe that's something the teacher said to him. You're supposed to infer the teacher said, you accidentally deleted your brain, go to the principal's office, and wait for it to grow back. Right. what you said, you accidentally deleted your brain, go to the principal's office and wait for it to grow back. Right, yeah. I guess it's almost mostly a failure of like setup because once again, these single panel strips are kind of comedy purgatory.

Like I'm sort of reaching for these scraps of things that I'm not only punching Charles Boyce in the liver this entire episode. No, that's what this episode is. That episode, this is the, that's why I have three people here is two of us hold him down. And it punches him in the liver over and over.

And totally fucking retires. Denards write though, like if this was a three panel comic, this would be a very, very average like BC strip where like one character says a mean insult and then the next character leaves to take it very literally and then the last strip is someone saying hey what are you doing and they explain hey I'm doing the literal thing and then they're like what? I think we got it it doesn't work on any level but I think we got it. It doesn't work on any level, but I think we got it. I think we got what he might have been, I'm going to give us full points.

I think we earned it on that one. Oh, man. If we crack 30, I'm going to be so proud of us. We're at 17. Oh, this is the exact, we've used this exact image before. Yes. We use images. Yes. Down to the down to the eraser lines around the faces. He copied and pasted the fuck ups that he accidentally left in. So we are, this is my turn, right? Yeah.

So we are, this is my turn, right? Yeah. We are back with Shlub1 and HipShlub. Simon, Simon and HipShlub here. Same exact art. Like I said, he has copypasted it. It's a little zoomed in from the other one, which I, maybe he thought there was some sort of AI block that was going to check him for pleasure. I just read the caption.

How dare you. You can't get ahead. I'm so sorry, every day. That was a real gasp. He's, all right, I'll get to, so he's got the phone. He's talking to Shlub who is looking chastised and he is saying, what do you mean you text everything because you don't think your voice is trending enough? God damn it. So I'm gonna actually go back to one of our simplest theories for this one. Okay

These are agency codes. We just lost a tire of fucking tea You jump in straight to the cheat code you'd straight to record You're stepping straight to the cheat code. You're straight to the record. What's your goal? Well, the record again. You pulled the record three times. It's not fucking opening. See, I'm going to combine theories,

and I'm going to say Charles Boyce is an old man who has never seen a computer and is chained to a desk somewhere pumping these things out for short bursts of sunlight that they allow him when he finishes one. And the comic strip author next to him has died and the smell is starting to bother him. I think that's what he's saying. Yeah. I think that he is...

He sharpened one of like his old pencils into like a self-defense implement. And he's trying to lure his guard over to his cell. This is a sick, a sick prisoner routine. You're saying? Yeah, the sick prisoner routine. Like they said, Hey, looks like you're recycling some art here, man. And then it's just going to go for it. Like this is what make his break for freedom. So he killed the comic artist next to him. Like until unfortunate, but law of the jungle. I'm going to make my ice cave. I can't believe that. What do you mean? Let me try another read on it. What do you mean you text everything because you don't

think your voice is trending enough? No, that doesn't help. That's what you sound like. You stupid asshole. This is this is what you say to a shovel that's beating you to death. This is so much nothing. He's so confused about what trending means. Like if if you put a gun to his head and say, tell me what trending means. He would fucking pull the trigger for you. You fucking pull the trigger. Oh, do it. You think I want to live this life anymore?

I don't fucking understand. OK, OK. Sorry. I've tried to get to a pop library. I'm trying to get to a pop library. Basically, I'm forced to give him sort of accidental credit because whatever my absurdist buttons are, this block of text pushes them perfectly.

Like, I actually cannot breathe. This sentence without laughing. It's so frustrating. Oh, this, it tells me the story. Okay. Like this is like 2013 before Dave should feel what crazy. I just graduated.

I'm on this terrible date and he's a surprise comedy seller guy, right? And he riffs with people all night and I'm laughing so hard. Sonny's like, wow, this day's actually amazing. Where in love from all these incidental comedy, fuck a laugh. They're at I sort of hit that little bit of divinity again. When my brain tries to process what do you mean you text everything because you don't think your voice is trending it up.

You're saying this is eat shipelle like and it's in its comedy. I've got the sliver of joy that I got from a man at the from one of the fuddy's people on earth at the peak of his craft. You've extracted a sliver of that joy. Yeah, well falling in love. This is giving me aiver of that joy. Yeah, well, I'll fall again love. This has given me a scrap of that joy. That's the nicest thing anybody's ever said about Charles Boyce. And it's worth it for everything else we have said

up to this point. I wish I could end the podcast on that. We do have eight more to go. All right, so I'm gonna just go real ruthless of the fucking insults now that you've given it. You've given it his high. We'll make it all worth it. I can't even drill into this one.

I don't have a starting point. I need a point to grab onto to try to swim through the madness and find an island that makes sense to me. And it's all just rough ocean. It's all just rough. The easiest explanation is that he truly doesn't understand anything. He just doesn't know what trending means. He doesn't understand that texting is a verb and not like what you would do on social media.

He might not understand what a voice is. Yeah, that's possible too. The entire world just looks like a world pool to this man. And words are just rocks. He has tried to grab onto it, try to save himself, and none of them are bearing fucking weight. I don't care if you don't get it. Each comic keeps me from the vortex. Right now he's probably sitting in a stop sign reading it to sing what? What? What?

I thought he's fucking laughing his ass off. Yeah, but he's got the damn thing I've ever seen. Oh, I gotta use this. All right oxygen back. Sorry. All right. He recovery yourself as best you can. You're up next in art.

We got no points for that. All right, so zero points. Let's see what else he could take from me here. So here we have him staring up at what is meant to be a human microwave. And the guy, this love is like 85% Simon. Like he's a demi-simon. He's a near Simon.

And he looks frustrated, which will probably be important. And, um, timeline wise, this is 2013. So he's sort of still still trying, but the madness that is just caked all the way into his mind at this point. Caption, at this point. Caption, when that ideal dinner is no longer the digital age because even more of an enemy. Oh, my God. This is one Nintendo manual. This has to be that was my theory on this one, especially this. He has to be running it through a translate I have actually seen the man speak he can sort of talk It's it's not great, but he can do it

But somehow he's running like maybe he has must he knows so little about computers that he has mistaken Google translate for a word program And that he thinks that's his text editor. So he types everything in there and then it spits something out and he's like, what the fuck is this computer language? Like maybe this is code. And then he gives it to his editor and they publish it. In terms of space, like the Garbled mess is so incredible because it makes less sense than random text.

Yeah. Like, it's reaching for an idea and all I have is ash. Much like this man in the comic strip looking at his ruined microwave dinner. So, this is petty in the face of this madness, but he just drew a TV, right? Like, he drew a TV, an old timey TV. Yeah, that's a TV, and then he wrote microwave on it. And then he wrote microwave on it so that you know it's a microwave. Yeah. He didn't give it any depth or anything.

It's just, you drew a TV. Yeah, it's mounted on the wall like a TV above the phone like a TV might go. It's not in a kitchen, so it's an insane, an insane place. Yeah. So now that we're just liver punching, I think this is almost like a pivot halfway through art wise because it looks like he was trying to draw a TV fucked up. It said, okay, this is a microwave now. That's trying to finish it that way.

Yeah, that's it. This was supposed to be something, something about a TV, but then it was like, I fucked it up. I'm not doing it over again. What I'm doing instead is writing when that ideal dinner is no longer the digital age becomes even more of an enemy. Right. So take the dinner. As long as the TV show.

When that ideal TV show is canceled, the digital age becomes even more of an enemy. It still doesn't make sense. That's sort of something that's like maybe a Netflix dig. Yeah. So like they canceled your favorite TV show and now you're like pissed off at the modern era. Like Netflix maybe streaming isn't so great after all. Yeah. But like he translated that into dinner and then he translate that into French and then he translated that into English and this is what we're looking at. Incredible. Maybe we can have one point for maybe understanding what he was trying to say.

He did not succeed in saying that in any way I remain unconvinced, but what will we go? His angry face is an incredible low effort product by the way. Like he's just a little fall chrome line and dot that he draws claps his hand that says nailed it. Never I've never seen less effort put into a web comic. And I've seen a web comic before. It's such a aggressively strange shapes that he draws everything with.

It's like, like little things, do you see two people kissing or a dinosaur? It's totally the old lady. Yeah. Yeah, these inkblots just tell me I see a lazy failure. I don't know what it is. I see a seahorse ear, and his nose and cheek is a Sumerian fertility sculpture. His hair is spider legs, so it's just a pile, a tidal wave of spider legs. Yeah, it's like I see like a forest of coiled springs and in this forest,

none of these trees have the fruit of talent growing from them. Okay, all these Jesus. Oh, that's so much harsher than his con, but a stupid piece of shit. Okay, I think it's, I think it's, where that no talent grows from the trees. Oh, it's poetic hate. Is that from the trees. It's poetic hate.

Is that not the perfect way when what he was trying to say, I think, which makes no sense? What he was trying to say with this was the technology ruined your dinner, right? That's what he's trying to say, which is nothing, and not an observation. And he said it's so wrong that the nerds is the only insult that would even stand a chance of being processed.

Yeah. By Charles Poise. For the record, if I copy-pasted anything as much as I'd say, copy-paces are, I would not shit on computers. They are my lifeline in this world. But it also, here's the thing. It's he's the laziest artist I've ever seen, and it's remarkable. And there are mistakes in every single one, they're copy-pasted and artists reuse. And somehow, I don't know how.

Somehow he makes it look really difficult. Like he's just fucking trying his hardest. Yeah, and it's like they're not coming together. You can tell he hates it. I guess the precise delta of struggle and laziness here is that these all feel like finals week like cram session comics like he did not do any run-up work is scrambling now in like 20 minutes to put together what could be called a comic generously by friends and family members who don't have the courage to tell his editor

that he died 20 years ago. That's a great alternative. This is a week in at Bernie's. They're weekend at Bernie's and him through a comic strip Could you imagine that if he does die and someone goes through like his notes and keeps, keeps doing it? I mean, that's probably what happened. I think you guys are right. But like, say it didn't. And then we get a worse version of these, like the unreleased trying to change our lives. Oh, the imitation voices are going to be works of art.

But accidentally, it's so much better. I think there's, I think there's just one, I think he's one of the most unique minds on this planet. Sort of like, it's sort of like, you know, like, no two tumors are exactly the same. Like he's got like, that's exactly where I was going. Thank you.

I was trying to like, leave it. If I it if I don't say anything else right now. Maybe that's a compliment because I wanted to say something nice. But yeah, it's the further the closer we get to 20, it's all liver branches all the time. Once again, you came to my shooter cabin. We need you. You're the only man who could do it. Oh, I'll give us, I'll give us, I gave us one, I gave already gave us one point. I'm a racing, we don't give it to get point. I give us one point for that. I think Sean, you're up on this next one. Okay. This is 2023 and it's a man alone in a diner very slubby and he is thinking so much for straight talk and the caption is never text yourself the texting will go in circle.

Man. Okay so I think we need to throw out either the thought bubble or the caption because they either repeat or conflict. It's hard to tell. But the idea, he was going for, you know, talking in a circle. And that's what would happen if you texted yourself. And so that wouldn't be straight talk because it's circular talk, but it's also not anything. So he's building a pun off of like quicksand.

He's building a pun house on a quicksand foundation. So don't text self, which is not advice you would need to give someone Self which is not advice you would need to give someone Unless they're crushingly lonely so like if if this is another maybe window into himself that that some nights He just text himself so so feels like someone cares And he's like don't do that Because of a silly pun not because it's you know sad sorrow. Yeah, not because it's, you know, sad sorrow. Yeah, not because it's sorrow. Wow. Never text yourself. The texting will go in circle, in circle. Is that important or a mistake? Both. Both. It's very important.

Important mistake. To understanding the level of effort that goes into these comic strips. Yeah. See, I think the level of effort is very, very high. And in this one in particular, I am going to point you to, he's supposed to be in a cafe all alone. And he's sitting in a bench. Look at that. Look carefully at the top of that bench. It's just a straight line. bench. It's just a straight line. Yeah. And it looks so hard. It has been such a struggle. I believe if you look at the gradient he's used to try to imply that it is bending away from you, that it is round. It's just a circular smudge repeating. I think he copied and pasted that over and over to make the straight line of the bench. God, that's not impossible. I think that in circle, I think that comes from him like revising and polishing that sentence too much because

I think he started with like circular texting or what would the phrase be, I guess, if talking in a circle, texting in a circle. That is, yeah. And he's trying to just fight that into like this concept. And it just, it's so hard. So you think these are too high effort, exactly. So this is a typo, born of revision, born of perfectionism. He wanted this to be the computune that goes into the Louvre.

Yeah, maybe. I feel like perfectionism's not the right word, but I feel like he does work on stuff. I just don't think he has standards or even I'd idea what it would look like if it was good. Like I don't think he gets to, oh that's perfect, that's what I was looking for. He's just, I think he just works on it

until he's like, forgets why he started or just gives up. He toils until they open the sunlight hole for his brief flash flash of that. And then he says, I'm done. And then he starts to work on the next one. Yeah. By the way, since you're both a prominent light-feldologist, leaders in the field, I would even say. I'm not. I want to say that. I'm not. I want to say that.

I'm not. I want to say that, um, heirs are his feet. I think, I think everything is his feet. He's a problem. He's a problem. He's a problem. He's a problem. I felt where the whole world is feet

Infinite feet world. I'm trapped in infinite feet world. You know what I'm saying like if you notice his hands his fingers Just stop right after the knuckle so he's got Just little notes everybody's notes Yeah, it almost looks like he went through like years of recovery to learn to hold a phone with those hands. Like, this is the end of an aspirational film. I'm going to give Sean maybe a point for figuring out maybe like a coherent thing somebody might have been, I'm downgrading the rules.

I'm downgrading the rules from now it's just if you can make a coherent thing that somebody might have been, I'm downgrading the rules. I'm downgrading the rules from, now it's just, if you can make a coherent thing that somebody might have been trying to say, we'll take a point. Moving on, I believe this one is mine. It's a same talk. Okay. And this one, we are in a computer store, which we have to guess at very hard.

There is a sign in the upper right corner that says online virtual apps. He doesn't know what any of those words mean. He is also clearly scratched out that it said something else underneath it. It's very... It had been written it in a different font, so he is not getting away with it.

He has struggled to erase everything around it. This man has versions of webdings. I didn't know existed. You know he's recycled this art 100 times. And he's not working off of the original file. He's working off of the revised one each and every time. He has this comic sans variant utility belt that he never uses it to his advantage, but

I just didn't know there's many versions of it. Yeah. That's a virtual apps is written in actual comic sans and the other one is, I want to say that's Blambot. I do have all these comic sans and I use them when I do sarcastic font art. Like if I'm making something special, like shit, these are the fonts I choose. So this is a computer store online virtual apps. The sign tries so it's so hard for that sign to say that, but it does say that.

A Schlebbly computer salesman is behind a desk full of tiny, tiny, tiny computers. And the deflated head boy is down there looking at him and he's saying, being virtual can make you forget how it feels to be a real person. Oh, no. Okay. We're starting to get that like existential voice despair and again. Yes. Now you understand why we're doing 20.

Like if we would have stopped this podcast at 10, that would have been enough. Like you would get the point of it. We would have had some good times. It would have been almost exactly an hour long, but we wouldn't have fallen down this whole of despair. Yeah. Where I'm struggling now to make thoughts.

There are two simultaneous, different levels like understanding of technology here. There is him getting nothing of online virtual apps, and I can dunk on that all day. But he also just pinned modernity with being virtual can make you forget how it feels to be a real person. Yeah. I feel like he's kind of got like this real remedial imagination where he hears the word virtual and he thinks, oh, what if there's a world where that's all there was and we're just in a virtual world?

Oh, you'd like forget what it would be like to be real. And then he thinks like, well, I'm not a fucking complete idiot, right? That had to be an actual plot. I mean, I wouldn't have thought of it. Yeah, that's going to make sense to somebody. I forget how it makes sense. And then he writes it down because it's like, yeah, dude, think about it. Like, if you were virtual, you'd like, wouldn't be real. You know, here's another theory. If I was really high, and my dumbest friend was also really high, and it was kind of towards the end of the night, where it's not really fun to be high anymore, and he turned to me,

and he said, like, he said something like, being virtual can make you forget how it feels to be a real person. I would still tell him to shut the fuck up. Yeah. Here's exactly what I would say to them. I'd say being virtual can make you forget how it feels to be a real person. That's what you sound like. You stupid asshole.

Oh, the brick joke. It works. It works every time. I don't know what he's trying to actually say though. Are the apps virtual? Does he think there's such a thing as a virtual app? Or are the apps of virtual reality? We can use the same hack of getting rid of the text balloon

for the virtual app sign, I guess, if you want to take a minor cheat code. So he's just wandered into a computer store and looked at this sad old man with his tiny computer and said being virtual can make you forget how it feels to be a real person. Oh, in Boyce World, that's a smile actually. This guy's like jumping for joy. Yeah. I have an idea. Take off online virtual apps and replace it with dentist. Online dentist.

No, no, this is the dentist office. And this is this man's a dentist and this child comes in and says that to a dentist. No, no, no. This is the dentist office. And this is the man's dentist. And this child comes in and says that to a dentist. Oh, because he gave him too much laughing gas. Or just the non-sequitor of your thinking, oh, what would you say to a dentist? And instead of saying they're like normal to shit, you say being virtual can make you forget how it feels to be a real person.

And then this dentist's like, oh, that's a very unusual thing to feels to be a real person and then this dentist like oh That's a very unusual thing to say to me a person who cleans teeth. I guess that's almost a Ziggy. It's like almost Yeah, yeah, that's almost a Ziggy. That's what I'm going for. I mean that is like Ziggy's peak comedy to me You know that that is if Ziggy was in like a Korean textbook for learning English and there was like a picture of Ziggy and they said, caption this, that is what the first year Korean student would write down. North Korean, stew.

Like the best, the despair one. The despair career, of course. So I'm looking at this one and the two before it, right? Uh-huh. And it kind of makes me feel like if you took a middle schooler, or maybe like a elementary schooler, and just ask them to write what in their head is like a badass monologue for some kind of like technological through like it's

It's that dark night scene in the jails in the jail room selling your it's a plan to get caught or some shit and you just starts ranting When that ideal dinner is no longer the digital age becomes even more of an enemy and Your 10-year-old brain says nailed it next line next. Yeah The digital age becomes even more of an enemy and your Ten-year-old brain says nailed it next line next. Yeah Yeah, I guess so It's like that pseudo philosophical like I'm smarter than you Yeah, it feels like a very very dumb person trying to sound smart Yeah, that's a way simple way of getting out of that. Then this whole bad joke or thing I was going for. I think the boy Scassus started to affect my brain.

I would like to just mentally bookmark what Sean has just said. Never. Can you repeat that? It's a very, very dumb person. Are you gonna like do my thing against me? Just say it. Just say what you said. Okay, it's very, very dumb person,

trying to sound smart. I would like everybody to open your web browser. OK. Go to just type in Go Comics Computeune to see today's comic. Go Comics.com slash Computeune. Let's see here. Oh wow, can I read this? Yes, absolutely. So it's talking and the one with the phone says,

do you think this artificial intelligence stuff is going to make a lot of dumb people feel smart? That's what's supposed to be. We finally, we've arrived at the Boy Space. This is the Boy's Nexus where all boys come together. Guys, we can right now on this podcast, right the next week of Boy Strips. We are in control of the Boy's Force right now on this podcast right the next week of voice strips. We are in control of the voice force right now And be like this is the meanest fucking is this guy okay Okay, now We have a very special section.

Oh, I'm so ready for the winners' circle of Compute Toode comics. We get no points for that last one, of course. I might not even have to say that. We are entering the home stretch. Yeah, okay. We can still go our regular rotation. Denard, that makes this next one you.

All right, so our child is back and here's a thing of the art. Sorry about the cyber, but for a second, I thought I had misinterpreted him and that he was not bald with some kind of caved-in head, but that was just how he drew like a haircut. Thank you, take the last part of the hairline. was not bald with some kind of caved in head, but that was just how he drew like a haircut. That you take the black sparred hairline. Oh, great. But no, no, no, this is just a mutant. This is just a thing that was not meant to be born. He deleted his brains and his head caved in.

He's kinda good. Tidaz. Yeah, he's getting chestier as it goes on. I don't know how to interpret that. I do know that he is beside his giant dog Who has the word delete on his collar and is currently chewing on something? Presumably punchline relevant. I'm taking this in one element Savoring it as one must. Yeah, so that it could be a surprise for me

I'm sorry to skip ahead of the titties that that was a spoiler I am taking Delete for a walk He's full of data from eating my homework now that is a perfect Wikipedia photo.

Boys. Yes. Line. This is because how you would explain him. Yeah, it's nonsense. It's also a cliche while being nonsense. Mm-hmm. And yet I'm going to argue this is not good,

not funny, but as close just structurally to a joke as maybe he's ever gotten. This is as close to our reality as he gets like his... This is an English to me. Yeah, see, I'm taking delete. My dog is delete. It's already up for skin. You're already, I'm taking delete. My dog is delete. It's already up for skid. You're already, it's too much. He's full of data from eating my homework.

I guess you could. If dog ate your homework and you're a fucking stupid-ass kid in the modern age, and I'm Charles Boyson, I'm like, you're a fucking stupid-ass kid. Here's what you'd say. I'm taking delete for a walk. You probably full of data because you do it online now. To be fair, if your kid said this, you'd be so

medically concerned for him, you wouldn't be angry about him lying. I would be really frustrated if my daughter said this to me. I'd say like sweetheart, what the fuck was that joke started? I would make her lay down. You're sick, she's old. She doesn't hurt her head when the seizures start. We're actually moving straight on from this one before you can, you know, I just knew you just need it in your heads. And now Sean, you can do the next one. Oh no, it's a very similar picture, not completely copy-pasted,

but elements of it are. So he's holding the delete, who's eating homework, and now he's saying, I'm going to take delete for a walk. He's a little wordy from eating my computer, but he's eating paper. So he's reused the exact strip but made everything worse and more insane. And now these are not in his in his storied career. These are not leagues and leagues and leagues apart. Right. This was seven months prior to the other one.

Yes. So this was the first draft. Really simplify all my voice theories. Is he just on like an office space thing where he's trying to get fired from this. He keeps succeeding beyond his wildest dreams. Yeah, just keep looking at it to paper to paper. He's a leading go-comics thing. We all know what compute tune is. It's... Because that is wild and I think also what basically happened to Jim Davis, so what a planet. What a planet. So he's repeated his joke just months apart, used almost the entire strip, changed just enough to, I guess, try to fool the bot that checks his own work for self-plagiarism.

I would like to make a small defense for him in that he actually there is a small artistic achievement here. And that he did manage to make the joke worse in every single way. It makes less sense. It's more words. It's the joke. I'm seeing the carbon decay of this joke. So you think you see I am taking delete for a walk, he's full of data from eating my homework, which is the first caption to this exact panel. And it's almost like a joke. Yeah, it looks almost like our language we grew up with.

Yes, if you would, that Italian man would be singing like, I have a toast, please, just on accident, on complete accident. You'd be like, that's amazing. He actually landed, can you see that? He actually landed on something that's like almost a sentence. Yeah. And now, and now like his comedy power level thing is just spiraled downward into like, I don't know, the fucking ninja sex party zone or something Oh, sorry shots fired whatever a little wordy for me to my computer is so weird because he's not any computer Sure, but it also seems to imply that he thinks that a delete K would delete the computer itself or maybe just like he he just calls things my computer like how you might call an

Nintendo DS a Game Boy or how you might call Marshal arts karate like he just calls like, incredible. Jeff, my computer, you know, maybe. I think it's trying to do the exact same caption. I'm taking delete for a walk. I am taking delete for a walk. He's full of data from eating my homework. He's a little wordy from eating my computer.

So he thought, he stumbled onto what is almost a coherent joke and I'm going to assume everybody in that office at that newspaper wherever he is, stood up and applauded and wiped away tears because he's beat the odds, he's done it, he made something like a joke and he was writing that high so hard, he just tried to repeat it exactly but just changing a few things only he changed the wrong things to the wrong things

and now it means absolutely nothing and it could have just been a rehash of that joke I think that's what he was shooting to do but it's not at all. I think that he's actually learned a lot about science and technology. And he's made this line as something we can feed to an 11 AI to destroy it. God, that's a good point. If you AI data scraped Charles voice, you would kill that computer. That's how we get this. Trying to kill AI. This is the cure to like Rocco's

Bachelors. Like we have sent this data into the stream and saved the future. God, Damn it. He's a hero. The future he's from. We look at it too long and now we're crazy. I'm going to give us one point for that.

I think at some point we figured out what he was trying to say. Yeah, if I could go to a... if I could really tap my two fucking degrees here. Why does the childhood taste like this? It's a very educated man I must have. Po-cwa, let it is. Why is I still hung up on why his fucking head has been caved in? Like there's no way that's like a comical flair.

His head has been caved in straight in the middle. There's no mistaking it. He's a tooth monster. He's a tooth monster. I at least don't have like Freudian questions about his like deflated like cakehead. The junior rack here though is it makes me feel like is something wrong with me maybe? Yes. By now, certainly the boys poison is navigating your neural pathways and corrupting all of them. That's step seven of boys is self-doubt. How long have I been in the hospital bed?

This whole time. Long enough for everything to atrophy, which is where we're at in the podcast. I would stay in the podcast for a walk. Totally. It's a little wordy for meeting my computer. I hope the leak gets a spin off. You'd loved one's just sobbing like that's, it's not thought. We have to pull the plug.

Nocturus like you're right. That does not kind of thought. That's, you're right. That's not, it's nothing. It's, it's not. You can't get out of the war right now. That is mainly not a sentence. If I could get, it's not even a murder.

If I could a giant pile of money, I would want to take this image that he has made these two little nonsense sequences. And I want him to get like Ryan North or some should just write a different caption for it every week. Just an ultimate art challenge. Yeah, this is the new dinosaur comics. I want to see Charles Boyce do a new caption for it every week. Just the ultimate art challenge. Yeah, this is the new dinosaur comics. I want to see Charles Boyce do a new caption for it every week. Just like you might get that wish. He's getting. Yeah.

He's getting fascinated by just this particular thing to try it again and still fail so hard. To reiterate what was your greatest victory into perhaps your greatest failure. It's a Shakespearean tragedy is what it is. Next one is the same collapsed head boy looking at his dog delete why why these are main views are so good. I'm telling you he got a standing ovation and now he's like, oh, so you love the collapsed head boy in the dog. They're going to appear in everything from now on. He's looking at delete and they're looking at his first sort of reasonable monitor.

It's not a full CRT from 1980. And it says, it's weirdly wobbly. He can't draw a square anymore. He has lost that part of his mind in the darkness. Yeah, there's not much in the voice in the vortex. He's been consumed. On the computer, it says your Facebook password, which is not what that would look like. And it says cuddles, which he has typed in there. I tell it, Comic Sans. I tell it Comic Sans. And the boy is turning to the dog and saying,

what do you mean it will help keep wannabe cap friends away? What? Oh God, it's just, like you just wanna sit him down and be like, tell me your understanding of like electricity. What, let's start with password. What do you think a password is?

Right. Yeah, it is deeply confusing. And I said they were trying to kill the machine before. Now I think he's trying to kill me. Yeah. All machines. Like I could just biological once. Yeah. Even biological once. All order just biological ones. Yeah.

Even biological ones. All order and thought must be destroyed. If I have been devoured by the vortex, all will be devoured by the vortex. Like, I read, keep wannabe cap friends away. And all of a sudden, all of my podcast fun stops because there's this thin trickle of blood coming out of my right nostril.

Thank you. fun stops because there's a thin trickle of blood coming out of my right nostril. I don't even have questions because I know he's just wrong but like does he mean like dogs who wish they were cats who like self-identify his cats and this will keep them away because of his fucking password is cuddles because I feel like if they knew that, which they won't, they would like that, because cats like cuddles. Hahaha. Here we are. Oh shit, it's just, it's so great trying to understand

the process you go through of trying to seize any little tiny morsel as you are starving for coherent thought. I'm like, is this something? It tastes, no, no, it's not. It's foul poison. When we've wiped ourselves out and they're trying to figure out what our deal was

and they reach the, what is this? This 2016 computing, they will just say we deserve what we got. Only, they won't say that because once they process, keep wanting to be cat friends away, they will, their minds will themselves collapse. Yes, they will have caught the, the boy's virus, the boy's mind virus.

The boy's virus. The snow crash like thought virus, he is implanting in the world. Yeah, and there is no motorcycle chase that's going to save them. This is like AI, world. Yeah, and there is no no no point. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, But it's just like knowing this was a person struggling and revising and like his confusion and failures all coming together to create this is like what this is what makes art. This is what separates art from AI and I feel like if anything, that's something we can take from Compute2.

I think it's almost inspirational. It's like the movie Rudy. It's like the end of the movie Rudy. Right. At the end of the movie Rudy, he had just been dive tackled straight into oblivion. Like instead of succeeding, he had been, he had had his spine severed completely. And it was carried away in a crumpled heap as everybody just looked on a guest.

Robert's hit by theory about all movies, which is everything should have the ending a million dollar baby. You just bash your head in and die. It just, it doesn't matter if it's spice worlds. Everything. A synchronized.

It's all for fun. You get blinded, you remember the time you grabbed fish while you were blind. You do some spinning tornado kicks. I feel like that's a pretty good ending. I think Superfights has the best ending where you just say you're an American hero and then somebody hits a gong. Yeah. Incredible.

That's the best out there's everything. And then of course, the next positional theme song in case you forgot the movie, the song explains it all again. Though we're running, we're running again. We have to, we have to stay, we have to stay here. All right. So I'll staple gun my hand back onto Compitude and say, there's kind of an interesting thing in these last four strips where the whole Garfield arc thing's happening, we were going from his self insert to this mascot as it leaks into more and more newspapers and he has just trapped in the hell of making this comic forever.

What would two boys say here? God damn truth, probably. Fucking stupid. Two-th-boy is this merchandise-able creation. Delete has to be the dog. There has to be little stuff dogs with delete on them That all of the fucking maniacs that read this comic and keep it in business just completely love

Is there even a market for this? It's just like you get the newspaper and then that's it right like The newspaper doesn't care whether people read it or not. It just has to exist And then maybe they get comments from people that can convince them to get rid of it. But I think A.B. testing must be convincing them that this should be successful in theory. It's something they need. And it goes out into the world. And the newspaper comic page, luckily for Mr. Boys, sucks so riotously already.

Computune can kind of tip to win with its madness. And at least it's like some paprika on that sucks end, which like the comic above is about hating your husband, the combo was about hating your wife. Right, and that's probably a really boring one about lawyers or something. Yeah, you've got the one that's like, what's the name of the comic though?

It's the janitor who's just adult Calvin. I don't think I know. I haven't read a cartoon's page in fucking decades. Ah, here we go. That's why. Nobody reads them. They need something. Yeah.

They need this. If the comics page was 20 comics, all craters are then comp you tune, I would not know. Yeah. If they change Computeune to the title to be owed to the light hole, how brief you are, it would make perfect sense. We get no points. We get no points for that one, of course. Fair.

We came nowhere close to understanding co- understanding coherent thought much less a joke. Good for us. Denard, I think you're up on this one. We have, this is an older compute tune or is skills just degrading. 2018, okay, just degrading. Just degrading. So we're back to the scribal here.

And I want to say this is a Simon variant. And the word balloon is here we go again. That's that is made on its own. We're going in. Check please. Yep. He's forgotten that we process information like from top to whatever. Yes, yes.

So here we go again, then our next bit of information, because we are human beings, is returned to main menu. And then what he thinks we read first, and it's not how anything works. It's Frank believes, I guess when I get annoyed, I become Lewis Black, that's what happens. So that's my DNA somewhere also there are a lot of error boxes in the art in this one. It's kind of okay Frank believes Going back to the main menu Only allows you to wrongfully redo the procedure again

Now this is wow again. Now this is fucking incredible. This is incredible. Wow. Because that Glossassia only exists because he needs something to fit the stock punchline of here we go again, which he was excited. He was, yeah, in he was ready to give us that trailer closing line. This is some shit. He's trapped in a loop of like failure whenever he goes to a website. Anything that's a universal experience. Yeah, that's Charles boys.

Much like when he's trying to draw. Right, monitor for instance. There's so many, the art on this one is nuts. There's so many errors in a crazy, there's like a ghost that he's, he has a gradient in the background, but he must have fucked up so many times that he's erased almost all of the gradient

into a weird sweeping panel. It goes over the text bubble. The gradient goes over the corner of the text bubble. It's cut out, it's such madness that I would say it's almost art. It's almost kind of beautiful and compelling. Yeah, it's a... There's a hard thing. The madness.

History to it. The madness is thick enough that you could just replace the line of like, I am the tarantulas of my eyes. And you would be like, good job first year college student. You get a seat. And you would be like, good job first year college student. You get to see this is a yeah, we're probably hitting that spring SVA area, which is, you know, a good place for an RSB. Fully reached a stride. Yeah.

Frank Frank believes going back to the main menu only allows you to wrongfully redo the procedure again. So he thinks so he's okay. So he is fucked up something on thinks, so he's, okay, so he is fucked up something on his smartphone that he's looking at. And the smartphone, as they all do, is saying the words, return to the main menu.

And it's crazy itself. For some reason, he thinks that that means he has to make every mistake he has just made over again, prompted by nothing. Nothing prompts him to think that, but he thinks that. Yeah, I think he just knows he's going to fuck it up. I think he just knows that whatever he did wrong, he doesn't understand. So he's just cursed to do it again because he's going to die like this. He'll never.

Yeah, he doesn't get it. He doesn't get why certain clicks do certain things. He doesn't get what he's going for. Is he trying to buy something? Is he trying to look something up? He doesn't get why certain clicks do certain things. He doesn't get what he's going for. Is he trying to buy something? Is he trying to look something up? He doesn't fucking know. I'm so sorry that I used, that I think this is secret code for help,

punchline earlier, because this is what that is. This is clearly autobiographical. With the help code thing, like terrorists just have a suitcase nuke now. That's what they're trying to tell us. Yes. We have lost the package.

My entire team is dead. My lifeblood is spilling from me as I explain this. We lost a 15. Call of oning. It's over. So this is taking me on a bit of a journey from my like empathetic start with Charles Boyz and like there's an old man chained to this computer.

He started these inept tech punchlines in 1994 or in the 80s. This is a 2018 ship. At this point, he has had over 20 years to learn that a computer is more than a magic box that you pray to and porn comes out. Is he maybe, does he work in an old folks home when he's not doing comics? Does he like around a lot of people who just find these to be like arcane confusion boxes?

I don't know. He's been doing it since he was a young man, though. And you can look back and they're never better than this. Why is he such a giga Chad that he just thinks it's nerdy to know anything about? He's never gonna learn. Yeah, he's like so. Gigachad Charles Boyce leaves his sex room for seven minutes a day. Hammer's out a comic. He's still multitasking. He's still into sex room while he makes a compute. Yeah, he's still got a couple feet of dick in there. One of his 18 girlfriends

are asked what he's doing. Just slam it some nerd ass before I slam some your ass. And then like one of my five gets 15 One of them goes I don't think that joke makes sense and he just shut up shut up. We're going back never mind It's not supposed to only fucking nerds like jokes We get no points no point. Yeah, and our final our final comic Sean. Oh It would be my pleasure. From 2023, uh, we are at a store. It says apps and comics and, uh, and then the clerk looks confused. He's got a bow tie.

Um, it says apps are becoming so popular. The clerk kept looking for one to come in and ask for a human. No, this one kicks ass. I love this one. Oh, I got it. Okay, so the apps are so popular that the clerk is like, man, people love these apps. They're so popular. I think one's going to come in and ask for a human.

Now, did it help you? I know you were trying to break it down. Did it help you at all to do that? I, I wanna say no, but there's a scratching. There's something deep in the sarcophagus of Charles Boyce's mind that's scratching to get out. I think we could figure this one out. So I think,

all right, apps are becoming so much more popular than human interaction, that he's thinking, what if you took out the word interaction and apps are just becoming more popular than humans? And so they would replace humans. And that would mean, as our replacements,

they themselves would be replaced by us, they'd be reverse roles. So now humans play, you have to play with humans. Because like, that's how we've given them. My question to you is, are you okay? So, I mean, what grounds his idea, So, I mean, what grounds his idea, is that he puts the onus of this entire lunatic thought on this character. The clerk thinks this is going to happen, and this can all be threaded super easily,

as long as you accept, as a rudist comic, his character is a goddamn moron. Yeah, that would help. I just walked through his day in a forest of confusion. Nothing is anything to him. This one seems to be physically the most of a struggle. There are some real rough eraser marks over almost everything in this panel. This looks like you can sense unhappiness in this panel.

You can sense just frustration at his limited abilities to communicate with his fellow man. And like this is the moment when the sign language gorilla attacks the children. It's so weird to look at these lines for the product in the store and know that this comic had a dream. And it just like in a strip book and half scribbled debris. Yeah, like this strip had a vision for itself. It had goals. And now it just walks around telling about how it went semi-profer. We were blowing out its fucking ankle.

I think I have an idea. Okay. Okay. So he says, apps are becoming so popular. The clerk kept looking for one to come in and ask for a human. That's what you sound like. You stupid asshole. Hit the super-pots music. Yes! We ran. We didn't face it in the end. We ran into Superfights. We ran into Superfights. Always well. That's what you see.
