Many more here.

That looks like Oregon!

I can see my apartment in the first pic.

I didn't even notice that one. I'll bet the forest one actually is from somewhere in Oregon.

I'm glad that box was labeled "scratch post". The picture doesn't look like one.

I think Clock was going more for 'butt plug'

So it only took them 300 issues (give or take) to get the colors of Mario's outfit right? That has to be the longest proofing cycle ever

Looks like every video I ever saw in Real format circa 2001.

Fear and Loathing? I think I had this version!

I really like the original animated images.

That comic makes me think of the classes I taught today... in good and bad ways. D:

Narcissistic indeed.

Am I the only one who started reading that expecting it to end with a joke about how some awards are totally useless and send the wrong message, like getting an A in a spelling bee?

Spelling bees award letter grades?

Ugh that comic makes me think of my primary school education and all the bullsh*t awards and prizes they gave out. First place during super kids day (just like everyone else), bs awards at science fairs, and from what I hear from my mom (who works high schoolers): diplomas that are basically awarded for showing up and not killing anyone (she works with a semi-rough group).

With the rough group you are allowed a single kill?

In eighth grade, I got an award for being "best groomed", whatever that meant. My prize was a comb. It was a weird day.

So you are a dog then?

This sums up exactly why I hate achievements and believe them to be the downfall of society.

Rewarding behaviour which should be standard performance is a problem. The Overjustification Principle. It basically undermines the desire to do work.

To me, it also sets the bar height for exceptional achievement. Human nature is to only work as hard as you have to. It's an exceptional few who can set their "have to" on their own. Or perhaps an exceptional few who can set that "have to" close to their true potential.

Top, the Jonas Brothers meet the President.
Bottom, Justin Bieber meets the Canadian PM.
See if you can spot the differences

They're both appropriately dressed for meeting who they're meeting.

The Canadian PM isn't wearing any flannel! It's a fashion faux pas of the highest order!

Faith in humanity: rising.

Edit: This is in response to Luggage's post. Though a Contra woolly sweater is pretty awesome too.

Hmmm. I wonder if that comic writer read the Wellesley High School Commencement speech prior to making the comic.

It's times like this when I really feel like I live in another world. My mother would not accept anything other than a perfect result, usually. Of course, even when you got an almost perfect score she'd still say you did well, but you knew she was disappointed.
