Brevity by Dan Thompson for January 15, 2012

Good for you.

My guess? This is the beginning of one of their week-long string-of-event strips. Keep watching tomorrow (or possibly next Sunday) for the next panel in the sequence. I suspect it will be a going-back-in-time gag.

Hmmm… I was wondering, too, whether there will be more to this.

Meanwhile, they’ve apparently been thinking outside the box.

The boy seems to be pointing at the corner of the panel… Is he breaking the 4th wall, and does that have to do with the date, or Guy and rOdd’s signatures, or Dan joining them?

Or was it just,,, you know… an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese……. a fragment of an underdone potato……..?

Beviek from yesterday…..

Whether you open the bookmarks menu in Firefox and click “bookmark this page”… or open the Favorites Menu in Internet Explorer, and Click "Add to Favorites,…

a small window, called a dialogue box, will open.

You can see, usually on top, a little box, or “field”, containing the title that will be given to your bookmark.

You don’t have to accept that title — before you click OK, click in.the title field and delete or type whatever words you want.

In fact, BTW, it’s generally good practice to shorten the long names some pages give themselves, because they can cause glitches later that I won’t bore everybody with here.

And thanks Hobbes.Yeah… that picture looked familiar…… I think that guy used to hang out in these parts….hope we can find him.

With a name like Dogsniff you’d think he’d be able to track himself down.

.

The boy’s pointing to the date. I’m betting this’ll either be a long sequence, or a brick joke involving time travel from next Friday or something.

Why do you all assume that time travel will be discovered in the future and used to travel back in time? Indeed time travel was invented in the past and used to travel forward in time to hide all evidence of past use. Further clarification is available by dialing Area Code 51……

@SusanSunshine: and Beviek: Thanks, Susan, for answering Beviek’s question. Beviek: I typed an answer at the end of yesterday’s comments also, before I saw Susan’s answer here. Mine also mentions how to change the name of an existing bookmark by right-clicking on it. So another option is to go ahead and create the bookmark called “GoComics.com”, and then right click on it to change the name.

Huh?

Hi Dogsniff, wherever you are. I read your latest comments. Keep us updated on what GoComics is telling you when you ask them to reinstate you. I assume you saw the phone number that you can call, in a previous posting. As Beviek said, enjoy the rest of your vacation.

I certainly hope there will be more to it. If they don’t plan that, at least give us a comment that makes it less incomprehensible.

I was thinking that Susan FOUND Dogsniff from his profile’s comments, but that was Gymshoe ;-P

Thinking outside the box?

When did Guy and/or Rodd (and/or Dan, whoever that is) lose sight of the concept of a funny cartoon a day?

Time travel?

Looks more like a Duplicator to me.

Time units are open up, not on the side.

Or maybe it has something to do with today’s F Minus strip.

I don’t understand

Might also have some connection to thinking outside the box.

My guess is that tomorrow we see two kids going into a cardboard box to travel back in time to the previous day.

I think I’ve been reading G&R comics for too long. They’re starting to make sense!

@Dogsniff Hey Dogsniff, I’m really missing you. Just want you to know that. Those GoComics rascals sound worse than those Tweeds which Teddy and I straightened out some time back. Don’t think I can help you now, though. I’m too old and out of date – but you have my wholehearted moral support.

@Hobbes. THERE you are! I’ve left you and Number Six a message at Calvin & Hobbes.

Good morning ‘Big Brother’!

dogsniff, we miss u :(

The latest from the gulag Guantanamo:

Dogsniff commented on Brevity about 2 hours agoMan I’m hating that I can’t talk to all my friends on here. This is a substatial bummer, and one I just don’t think I deserve. Tomorrow is Monday. I have a name and a number and hope this nonsense can stop tomorrow. In the meantime, my cult status is being elevated to where I’m considering this could be an opportune time to consider merchandising the Dogsniff brand.

@DogsniffI’d be careful about that. I got blocked at Comics.com for suggesting imaginary retailers in my comments that someone thought were real. I finally got my account unblocked after I sent them the following disclaimer:

“All references in my (x_Tech’s) comments were intended to be fictional and not meant to advance any product, service, retailer, wholesaler, or manufacturer past or present. Any similarity to any existing entity was purely coincidental.”

Just a word to the wise there Dogsniff.

Im from the futureThe sequel is next Sunday

I love it, it makes sense today on the 22nd

Deja vu.Again.
