I worked super fast until 2:30am to get this up on the site on the day the iPad was announced, hopefully to get in slightly before the inevitable flood of iPad cartoons that will appear in the following couple of days. Here’s hoping.
Also, the middle panel of this strip is partly taken from a conversation I was having with someone on Reddit, pretty much verbatim. I asked the video thing, they said “It plays HD video, but not in HD” and then I said “does it play MP3′s, only not as sounds?” Just in case someone happens to read that somewhere and thinks I stole it. It’s okay to plagiarize if it’s from yourself.
UPDATE: People seem to like this comic. It rocked out at #1 on Is It Funny Today for pretty much the whole morning, and by the end of the day it’s still at #4. Now my two top comics on that site are the one that rips on Apple, and the one that rips on Microsoft. Thanks for voting!
Proof
UPDATE #2: I’ve also noticed this image doing the rounds on the internet, being generally more popular than this site (because everything is.) But I swear I didn’t see it until the day after I posted this. I didn’t rip it off, is what I’m saying. It’s just one of those lightbulb things…
Nice. I’m reading this on my iPod nano right now
I didn’t even know this site worked on iPods! (And I have one.) Yet another thing I have learned about the world from Sticky Comics….
Oh, I meant my iPad nano! … er, my iPhone
I wonder if it autocorrected me …
Quite possibly! I am still learning about WordPress and it’s mysterious ways.
Jobs wears white sneakers
and blue jeans…;)
It was probably the iPhone (or iPad nano as I will be calling it now!)
So he does! Actually in the picture I saw he had glasses on too I think. At least I’m on solid legal ground now if Apple decides to start suing obscure webcomics who tangentially make fun of Steve Jobs. I can claim it’s not him! Except that I’ve just written that sentence now. And I tagged the cartoon with ‘Steve Jobs’ when I posted it. But I…. balls.
I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
Umm… thanks!
You got to love tampon jokes.”However, Apple has an extremely logyal fanbase and the device will eventually see record breaking sales in spite of the initial resistance”..I bet Apple is hoping this is very true. I have talked to more than one Apple fan who is planning on getting an iPad. Had I not lost my iPhone and become an ex-Apple fan, i too might have purchased one…Grandmom would love it.
I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
This isn’t a tampon joke. It’s a sanitary pad joke. Tampons are very different, and much, much grosser.
