Today's strip...

Wednesday, April 04, 2007 - 02:53 AM

Working within the contest's confines of "Create something funny about coffee cup lids", today's is my favorite strip so far.

Just for the sheer randomness of it.

(Plus, I've always thought that the line "Building a better tomorrow...today!" is the single greatest piece of cheesy copy ever written. The 1950's copywriter who first thought of that phrase must have known, on that grand day, that their career would never, ever top that.)
