I loved The Truman Show, pretty much everything about it. But the moment that left me gobsmacked was when Truman realized that the people around him were constantly doing “product placement” commercials where they’d face one of the hidden cameras to rhapsodize about the advertised item:
>>>>>Meryl : [holding up a jar of cocoa, slipping into advertising mode] Why don’t you let me fix you some of this Mococoa drink? All natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua. No artificial sweeteners.<<<<<
>>>>>Truman : [looking around] What the hell are you talking about? Who are you talking to ?<<<<<
>>>>>Meryl : I’ve tasted other cocoas. This is the best.<<<<<
The fictitious town he lived in was called Seahaven… almost as cozy as Snug Harbor, don’t you think? Except the weather in Seahaven was better, fully controlled by Christoff, you know.
And there’s Christoff in panel 2.
Needless to say, and as always, I’m loving today’s strip.
I will say this if I found out I was secretly on a reality TV show. I would do things like being randomilly clothing optional. Enter the coffee shop and start sampling peoples drinks and food. Bring my tool box with me and randomly take things apart for starters. Yes sir spy on my life I will give you something to watch.

Spud, as long as you hang out with Wallace, you’re not the focus. But continue to bring out that bowl of ranch dressing, just to be safe.

I have the same feeling, every time I watch The Truman Show.

Imagine if we were characters in a comic strip, living in a three-panel world.

Yeah – my life is pretty boring, I can’t imagine it would make entertaining TV.

Spud should change a LOT in his life if he wants positive attention from Amelia.

No no. Wallace the Brave is way better than television. Hands down.
