As experienced parents and pet owners, Codex and I have experienced a fair number of emergencies. The key to surviving any emergency is to quickly assess the severity of the event and then live through it. With no special training or practice, I happen to be gifted in making rapid assessments.
Codex excels during the aftermath. I can see all the things that need doing, figure out how I’d do them, and then get bored. Codex doesn’t. Once unleashed, she is a force of completeness. Evolutionarily speaking, we are a successful emergency-handling couple in that we have complementary skills and are still alive. Continue reading

News outlets all around the country have finally noticed the outbreak of creepy killer clowns. This isn’t surprising. The media is usually last to hop on the zeitgeist train, which means I needed to get this post published fast. The incidents have everything a presstitute craves when breaking a story. They’re unusual, have a macabre twist, terrify the public into paying attention, and can be blamed on Donald Trump. We’re all anxiously waiting to see how they’ll do that.
Scooby Doo would have already tackled this mystery and we’d be talking about the shocking reveal all over social media by now. Continue reading

My fellow Christians: Rejoice! The Great Christian Theocracy we’ve all secretly wanted is at hand! It’s been 800 long years since that last crusade didn’t work out so well, but we’ve been planning and plotting and scheming ever since, desperate to devise a way for government to outlaw sin and usher in a holy utopia.
How this has come to pass isn’t exactly obvious, so stick with me while I explain. Continue reading

Arguably, the toughest job in the world is that of President of the United States. Power is difficult to wield. There is a dark side that no candidate for the office talks about. The American people see it, though. Our Presidents age rapidly. It is the toll they must pay in order to meddle in the minutia of our lives. Continue reading

Social Justice Warriors are celebrating today because they finally managed to squeeze a good idea out of the collective. They want to separate themselves into SJW-only student housing at the University of North Dakota. Finally, Cultural Marxist koolaid drinkers will be able to live exclusively with those who share their religion. It is a trend that will quickly catch on across the country. Continue reading

We spend an inordinate amount of time picking on Hillary Clinton in our comic pages, so we decided to take the day off to offer our progressive friends some heartfelt advice as the campaign for the presidency moves forward.

I admit it. I caved.
The only thing I knew about No Man’s Sky, the new space exploration/survival/action game from Hello Games, was that it was pre-selling in the number one place on Steam for quite some time, despite its hefty $60 price tag. It also generated a solar-system-sized bucket of controversy. Now, I’m an “explorer” player-type and the best space sim I’ve played was X3: Terran Conflict. Could No Man’s Sky measure up?
So, yeah: I opened the wallet for this one. Codex & Glyph joined me as we formed our own Lost in Space clan and tried to answer the great question of our time: why does the internet hate this game so darn much? Continue reading

First off, minimal research went into this piece. The reasons should become obvious. It also involved no food, little sleep, and units of comfort measured on the pico scale. You might want to consider this before reading further. Codex, for example, refused to edit this post.
