Play-By-Play Commentary

Reading is Fundimental [sic]

This is so weird because this one looks exactly like that time back in Bio class where I decided to be funny and eat part of the fetal pig we were dissecting? And everyone's like: "Oh man, you are taking it to the limit one more time!" And then I threw up (today's Recurring Theme™) and tried to play it cool by just chilling in the back row and pretending to skim through my textbook, and when I opened it up, it looked exactly like this volley. Then I shrieked YOU BITCHES HAVE NO COMPREHENSION OF MY POWER!! And then I got detention. And then I had to get home-schooled for the rest of my teenage years, which basically boiled down to eating fruit roll-ups and watching The Electric Company in the rec room and then, later, having no choice but to work in advertising.

Moving on, I like how Matt has opened up the palette a little bit here, and finally abandoned the eye motif that will haunt me for probably the rest of the weekend. I think this one could really work as a nice banner ad for the American Illiteracy Association, depicting with grace and empathy what it is like for their tarded members to open a book.
