I interviewed a very charming young woman at work about a month ago.<\/p>\n
An aside. A month ago, has it been that long? The calendar says so, so it must be true.<\/p>\n
So, a month ago, and in the segment of the interview where I open the interview to any questions the applicant may have, she asked what sorts of web comics I read.<\/p>\n
The truth is, not many. Penny Arcade<\/a>, certainly. I used to read Waiting for Frodo, which I absolutely adored except for in its metaphysical moods. And a few others.<\/p>\n She suggested I read VG Cats<\/a>. It’s like Penny Arcade, she said, but with cats.<\/p>\n I’m a cat person. I have several. I do have to watch their milk intake lest they become bloated and gassy, but that’s a topic for another time. Or not. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Suffice to say, I’ve started reading VG Cats. And I’m finding it both funny and enjoyable.<\/p>\n This week’s comic skewers the Nintendo Revolution controller<\/a>, as well as any video game gnerd should.<\/p>\n From a marketing standpoint I have to wonder if Nintendo wants any third-party support for their new console, while from a practical standpoint I wonder if it’s going to be anywhere near as useful as Nintendo has touted.<\/p>\n Go! Read! Enjoy!<\/p>\n Cats can play video games, too. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I interviewed a very charming young woman at work about a month ago. An aside.
