Reminds me of the art museum video from Japan. The stairwell didn’t have a rail for some (I’m certain artistic) reason. Guy wanders into it and falls two stories.
I listen to lots of podcasts from Reddit content where the young post experiences. One in five of these kids announce proudly that they suffer from some form of social anxiety disorder like it’s a victim badge of honor. A big hint from a Boomer. EVERYONE gets anxious at some things. Everyone. But most of us power through it instead of curling into a little ball of happy victimhood because that’s what adults do.

Can I get a couple of hundred to shove under other people when they say something dumb? That should be enough for a week, at least.

This reminds me of the Looney Tunes cartoon where the professor invented the portable hole to get rid of his nagging wife.

Not to be confused with Looney Tunes “portable hole”, which was useful for robbing banks.

This doesn’t make a hole lot of sense, but I bet many will fall for it.

But where do you keep it? In your pocket? Warning: not for use on submarines. ;)

In Pastis’s strips, the characters’ “crude” artwork looks about the same as the regular artwork.

We know it’s Pig who wrote this message, because if it were Pastis, he would’ve called it the “Hole O’ Splendid Anonymity.”
