Sometime in late 2007, after I'd stopped writing Canned Laughter, I came up with an amazingly hilarious idea for a comic while in the shower. I didn't bother to write it down, and sadly all I can recall of the idea now was that it involved a talking piece of toast.
In late 2010, as my ridiculously long stretch of contributing to Critic was wrapping up and I was preparing to write my final column, I decided to bring things full-circle and submit one last Canned Laughter. I thought I'd finally use my toast idea, but try as I might I couldn't remember what the goddamn joke was meant to be. Eventually I came up with this strip instead, which isn't too bad I suppose (though in many ways it's just a retread of this one). Still, the mystery of the original joke still haunts me to this day.
And so ends my mission to upload all of the old comics. Now I'm going to get to work on uploading my old columns on my new blog Infinity Plus One. Check 'em out!
