Snarky Ducks Crack Wise – Mondays and Thursdays
The remedy in question is, I kid you not, to use nail polish on all of the capacitors to cover them up so they no longer emit the ultra-high-pitch sound which has been driving me batty for months now. Me and only me, since nobody else can hear it. Mind you, the computer’s in my bedroom, so I’m the one who has to live with it.
Or, you know, I could do something far less risky… like buying a replacement card. Yeah.
What can I say, Iron Chef America is a fun show! And if you really want the cracktacular entertainment, try out the original old Japanese rendition.
There is a problem with this particular kind of wordplay, the homophone, in a comic: The joke relies on the reader seeing the “wrong” word, and you have to assume that the “listener” (poor Rusty in this case) “gets” that the person using the “wrong” word is doing so deliberately. It might be a bit of a reach.
Then again, maybe I’m overthinking this stuff. We’re talking about rubber ducks, after all.
At any rate: Since our webcomic pals the Tree Lobsters made a “making of” reel, I decided to give it a whirl as well. So if you’re interested, check out how today’s comic was made (minus the photography), condensed down to just over three minutes of video.
