Face the Face

MStreeter, 5/22/12:

After two consecutive tech booms and their ridiculous IPOs, no one in America knows how to react when an IPO is properly priced and doesn't shoot up drastically right afterward.

Hint: a company wants to raise as much money from an IPO as possible, and if the stock goes substantially up afterwards, that just means it should have priced the IPO higher.

Whither the Sweater-vest?

Today's amazing bit of synchronicity comes from MStreeter:

and Tim Hartman:

As usual, if an idea is this obvious, you can assume that someone else is having it at the same time.

Horrible Steve Jobs Cartoons Roundup, Day Two

It's always sad when a famous person dies. It's even sadder when the rest of us have to look at drivel like this!

MStreeter, 10/7/11:

Grammar matters, folks! "iCon" is not the same thing as "Icon," and calling attention to "Con" is probably not what you mean to do right now.

Ed Stein, 10/7/11:

There's a difference between a legacy and a tombstone...for most of us, that is.


Randy Bish, 10/7/11:

Jobs made products under the name of Apple, but he wasn't himself an Apple -- Bish seems to have missed that part.

Adam Zyglis, 10/7/11:

Plus one point for trying to incorporate Jobs's other major success, Pixar. Minus several dozen for the image of Buzz Jobs-year.

John R. Rose, 10/7/11:

Rose got the short straw this time, and was obliged to do the Single Tear cartoon.

Scott Stantis, 10/7/11:

There's a special genius-only sub-heaven, and Jobs, being an adopted bastard, probably won't get in.

Or perhaps the message here is that even dead people use smartphones?

Or that their end table is levitating?

Or that "there's an app for that" has now joined "where's the beef" and other phrases in completely losing all meaningful content?

Jeff Koterba, 10/7/11:

When in doubt, illustrate the kind of rambling, meaningless conversation that the cartoonist himself might have had that morning.

Update!

Dana Summers,  10/7/11:

Summers also goes with the crying Apple logo,  though his is both shinier and more off-model than Rose's.

Gary Varvel, 10/6/11:

And Varvel goes totally on-model, adding only a subtle Single Tear. Must have had an early tee-time that day.

My Achy Breaky Head

MStreeter, 7/19/11:

Migrane headaches are an absolute disqualification for the office of the President, as is any mildly serious health condition.

Like polio.

Eye on Who?

MStreeter, 5/21/11:

Anyone else have the strange sensation that this piece, without any changes, could have run in the Onion?

Maybe I'm the only one....
