Now with exciting new leprosy!

In order to accurately depict these channels, I recorded random segments of them, and then, with the help of “the worst audience participant cirque du soleil ever had,” transcribed it. This transcribing required pausing, rewinding and replaying 3 to 4 second intervals of tape over and over again.
The Tom Cruise crap was relatively easy, cause it was just a mysterious graph being shown. But i’ve heard it enough times now that i’ve still got all those quotes memorized. This Shopping Channel one was different cause there’s more than just a graph on screen. So i had to make sketches for reference, and, in addition, the images had to line up with the dialogue. This required an additional 47 replays. For a measure of the toll this has taken on my sanity, i can tell you that the distaste i used to associate with this shirt has been replaced with ambivalence. Because, although I still hate it, I’ll also miss it a little.
Random Commercial Parody: Max Air survived round one. But now we’re up against Anomaly again! Didn’t do so well against it in the last battle.
UPDATE: it lost!
Newspaper Comic Strip will return at its regular time next Tuesday.
