• Putting Down Pick Up Lines

  Hey hot stuff, How do you like your eggs in the morning? I like them UNFERTILIZED. Well, obviously. I don't get it. [alt text: I like panel 2 because it is not often the force of a punchline knocks one of my characters physically backwards.] [comments: I guess I am really good at drawing chickens, huh? No, actually I just found them on Wikipedia with a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license on it. I know you are pretty surprised! I hope really these are chickens. I have some reason to question what I read on Wikipedia in this regard.]

• How To Collapse The American Medical System

  Caption: How To Collapse the American Medical System (In Five Easy Steps) [[Wikipedia Article on Carotenosis]] Caption: 1. Go to any medically related Wikipedia article. [[The Wikipedia article editing window, with the edited text "the main way to get Carotenosis is watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."]] Caption: 2. Vandalize it. [[Medical students looking at the article confused]] Student 1: Huh. Caption: 3. Sit back as thousands of medical students who use Wikipedia as their main source of information lap it up. [[Medical students distressed and leaving school]] Student 2: My life is over. Caption: 4. Horribly ill-informed, those thousands of medical students all fail our, amplifying the already large doctor shortage. [[Dr. J being asked to be a real doctor]] Out-of-Panel Person: Dr. J, we need you at the hospital. Dr. J: You know I'm not a real doctor, right? Out-of-Panel Person: You're all we have. Caption: 5. The medical system collapses. {{Title Text: I may be understating the extent to which Julius Erving has aged, but I have not overstated the vulnerabilities of American Medicine.}} {{Bottom Text: I hope nobody takes this as some kind of secret message from me to vandalize the article on Carotenosis. If I get my medical degree and there is no medical system I?m gonna be so angry.}}

• Dance Moves

  If you could only know one dance move, you would probably choose something pretty awesome. Most people with one dance move seem to choose poorly. {{I'm proud of myself for refraining from making an Indiana Jones reference. Oh wait... dang it.}} {{Footer: I hope everyone had a good Headbutt an Italian Day. I hope my Italian readers got through it okay and I hope they are doing well whatever they are doing. Someone read my comic yesterday and decided to do the right thing and fix the Wikipedia article on Youngstown. I totally respect that. But even now, there are still quite a few more pieces of misinformation on that page, and you can?t get all of them. I wonder why the members of Youngstown never check their Wikipedia article out and notice all the errors. Maybe even they don?t remember what albums they did or even what their own names are.}}

• Motion in the court

  [[A courtroom scene.]] Lawyer: Judge, motion to dismiss. Judge: Motion denied! Caption: I think court proceedings are more exciting if you mentally add the word "slow" in front of the word "motion". Caption: And then imagine everyone dodge rolling all around in slow motion. {{Mouseover text: Try it!}} {{Text below comic: I don?t do a lot of lawyer comics because I don?t know very much about lawyers, but since Cowbirds in Love recently made it on to the popular lawyer blog Above the Law <a href=http://abovethelaw.com/2011/05/non-sequiturs-05-12-11/>here</a>, I figure I?m legit. If, like me, you didn?t know very much about Above the Law before this happened, here?s their <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_the_Law_%28group%29>Wikipedia page</a>.}}

• July 9th!

  On July 9th, 2006, in the FIFA World Cup final, French football legend Zinedine Zidane and Italian chump legend Marco Materazzi made history. *headbutt* Zidane delivered Materazzi a devastating headbutt and had him go down like a sucker. It was awesome. From that day on, July 9th was celebrated internationally as 'Headbutt an Italian Day'. What are you running from, guys? Headbutt on a cloud, suckers! But that's not the only reason July 9th is an amazing day. On July 9th, 2008, I vandalized the Wikipedia article for the boy band Youngstown. It stuck. Now, on July 9th, 2009, the extra album I gave them officially becomes a reality! With two awesome things to commemorate, July 9th is sure to be awesome and nothing will go wrong! Youngstown: Hey, Sanjay. We are here to headbutt you. It's forgotten boy band sensation Youngstown! Sanjay: What? I'm not Italian! Youngstown Member: Well, I wish I could trust you, but I heard you were an unreliable source of information. *headbutt* *headbutt* *incoming headbutt* Happy Headbutt an Italian Day, Everyone! alt text: Who would win in a fight between Cosette and the Mario Bros.? I wish 'Arm Joe' was a Nintendo property so she could be in the next Smash Brothers. below-comic text: I watched this video like a million times as research to make this comic. If you check the Wikipedia article for Youngstown, you will notice the band had four members, not three. That?s only because it?s been vandalized since I added the new album. That thing is like the chicken article Fictional Jimbo Wales always dreamed about.

• ATP

  [[A man eating grey gray pellets, supposedly ATP.]] Narrator: My chief culinary aspiration is to find out whether or not pure ATP is delicious. <<num num num>> Narrator: Thanks for nothing, Wikipedia. {{Title Text: I already know all this Kreb's Cycle garbage, just tell me if it is delicious.}} {{Bottom Text: In case you don?t know what ATP is, you really should find out because it?s arguably more essential to life than DNA.}}

• Calendars

  THE MAYAN CALENDAR RUNS OUT ON DECEMBER 21ST, 2012. SOME BELIEVE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD YOUR DILBERT PAGE-A-DAY CALENDAR RUNS OUT ON DECEMBER 31ST, 2009. NOBODY BELIEVES THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD. UNLESS YOU REALLY LIKED THAT CALENDAR, I GUESS. "WHAT!" {{People I didn't ask for permission in reproducing their art: Scott Adams, whoever designed that cool step pyramid at Chichen Itza}} {{People think the Mayans were so great at predicting stuff because they predicted when their society collapsed, apparently. Big deal, Mayans. I can predict when your society collapsed too, just as soon as I look it up on Wikipedia.}}

• I made this comic on a friend's computer

  Narrator: Little Known Fact: Narrator: You actually CAN eat another person to steal their powers. [[A large man wearing blue is smiling with a little man inside him who looks puzzled.]] Little Man: What Narrator: Some societies realized this long ago, and so did Kirby. Narrator: Well Known Fact: Narrator: Nobody has any powers though. What is this, X-Men? [[A large man with glowing around his hands scowls.]] {{Mouse-over text: Maybe it is X-Men after House of M or something. That's a thing, right? I don't know I just read the Wikipedia pages.}} {{Text Below Comic: I made this comic surreptitiously on my friend Mike Hazeltine?s computer while he was sleeping. Like always, updating my comic on computers that aren?t mine makes me feel like a hacker.}}

• Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy

  [[Pinocchio stands with a bag of "Bacon Donuts", just about to eat one. A fuzzball with wings, arms, and a wand comes up. (Apparently it's a blue fairy)]] Blue Fairy: Pinocchio, what are you doing eating that garbage? Blue Fairy: If you want me to turn you into a real boy you have to behave yourself. And that includes realizing that you are what you eat. [[Pinocchio holds a (very small) boy, about to eat him. The boy looks scared.]] {{Mouseover text: To draw Pinocchio I used the Pinocchio picture on Wikipedia as a model. To draw the blue fairy I gave Navi from Ocarina of Time some arms.}} {{Bottom text: If I ever get sick of making ?you are what you eat? jokes, I?ll eat my hat.}}

• Nightcrawler feat. Mike Husni

  This is Nightcrawler Nightcrawler sees an attractive lady <<BAMF>> <<BAMF>> [[He teleports over to the lady.]] Nightcrawler: Ta da! Lady: AAAH! Nightcrawler: You know, I went through hell to come see you. Nightcrawler gets all the ladies with that line Lady: What? Nightcrawler: See I go through a hell dimension when I teleport so what happens is I go unconscious and I go through hell and that's why when I teleport it smells like fire and brimstone and that's why I'm so religious. Nightcrawler: But you knew that already. [[The lady is like Whaa?]] Lady: What? Why are you blue? Nightcrawler gets all the girls that recently read his Wikipedia page anyway {{Mouseover: I'm probably blue because my best pickup line didn't work. Who wouldn't be? {{Footer: Today?s joke comes courtesy of the mind of the great Mike Husni. You thought he could just act and be amazing to be around but he can also come up with good ideas for webcomics. This is called a triple threat, ladies and gentlemen.}}

• Gongsun Long in Space!

  The Adventures of Gongsun Long My favorite philosopher Episode 1: Gongsun Long in Space! Curly Hair Guy: They don't seem to be buying this "dwarf planet" thing. Red Shirt Guy: Don't worry. I brought an expert. Audience: Gongsun Long, how can it be said that a dwarf planet is not a planet? Gongsun Long: A planet can be any size. A planet can be giant or very small. A dwarf planet can only be very small. Therefore, one can say that a dwarf planet is not a planet. Next Question. Alt Text: Stop Whining, Plutonians Bottom text: If you aren?t familiar with Gongsun Long and the White Horse Dialogue, the Wikipedia articles aren?t terrible Read Part 2 and Part 3. [[Star Trek podium]]

• PostSecret

  [[There is an eagle in the panel with words displayed, some letters in black and some in red.]] Entire Message: Though everyone knows you write letters to post secret for the revalation [revelation] of personal secrets, since I became a 2nd lieutenant I have willfully leaked milittary secrets to kause operations to fail. no one knows I'm afraid of what will happen if I am uncovered. Hidden Message: They know your location and will attack at noon. Run. {{Title Text: In case you are too lazy to decode the secret message, it says: 'THEY KNOW YOUR LOCATION AND WILL ATTACK AT NOON. RUN'}} {{Bottom Text: I really like PostSecret. Though I feel, sometimes, that I read it too much for schaedenfreud and not enough to appreciate the sharing of secrets and feelings. It?s no lolsecretz, but at least it?s still going strong. Also, I just found this: PostRejects, which is a pretty good PostSecret parody site that just started. I guess this week I?m running some kind of ?link to sites that don?t really need my support? theme. Another site that meets this criteria: Wikipedia, where I got this public domain picture of an Eagle. Also, I?m trying out adding advertising to the site. We can talk about it tomorrow.}}

• How Pokemon Prepared Me For Medicine...

  [[Image of a MRSA culture, including stats like those in a Pokemon battle.]] MRSA :L40 HP---------- [[Image of a doctor, including similar stats]] DOCTOR 2ND YEAR RES HP----------- The patient has MRSA! Doctor used NAFCILLIN. [[Back to the MRSA bacterium, which is unchanged.]] MRSA :L40 HP---------- [[Back to the doctor.]] It's not very effective... [[Another doctor appears.]] New doctor: Um... what are you doing? Use vanomycin. It's super-effective. MEANWHILE: [[Another doctor appears. This one has green spiky hair.]] Green spiky-haired doctor: I'm going to be the best doctor. I'm only going to take care of my strongest patients. [[Another doctor appears.]] New doctor: No, you have to take care of all your patients if you want to be the best! Green spiky-haired doctor: Oh my goodness, I never realized! MEANWHILE: [[Back to the MRSA bacterium.]] What! MRSA is evolving... [[The MRSA bacterium has grown in a new part of the plate.]] MRSA evolved into VRSA! {{tite text: You should have pressed B.}} {{extra text: Really the only resource more valuable to a medical student than Wikipedia is Bulbapedia.}}

• The Pied Piper of Hamelin

  [[The Pied Piper is leading the rats of Hamelin away]] Narrator: The Pied Piper removed the rats from Hamelin with the expectation he would be paid. [[The Pied Piper is leading the children of Hamelin away]] Narrator: But Hamelin never paid the Pied Piper for the rat removal, so as an act of revenge, he took their children. [[A man is yelling at a rat, wielding a rolling pin]] Narrator: Eventually, they got new rats. Man with rolling pin (to rat): Get out of here! [[A mother is holding a newborn baby]] Narrator: And eventually, they got new kids. Mother: It's a girl! [[The Pied Piper, the man with rolling pin, and the mother with newborn are chums again]] Narrator: No harm, no foul. {{Mouseover: My favorite part of the Wikipedia article about the Pied Piper of Hamelin is the part that talks about the one kid that couldn't follow the Pied Piper because he was LAME.}} {{Bottom: I showed this to my friend Phil and he was really impressed with my ability to draw lots of rats without copying and pasting.}}

• The Last Wikipedia Article

  Reverend Mike: In 2009, Daniel encountered the Youngstown article on Wikipedia. Reverend Mike: He found it overloaded with vandalism and resolved to fix it...only to find it unfixable. Reverend Mike: No new energy was being put into the article, and nobody was taking anything from it. Reverend Mike: Youngstown fans had abandoned the group, moving on to other things. Example Man: OTHER BOY BANDS! Youngstown Fan 1: Woo! Example Man: GOING TO MIDDLE SCHOOL! Youngstown Fan 2: Woo! Example Man: WATCHING PAINT DRY! Youngstown Fan 3: Woo! Reverend Mike: Youngstown has moved on as well. Daniel: Hey, you need to fix your article. No one else remembers you. Youngstown: No, I'm going to play Rock Band. Reverend Mike: The article was a closed system... and a closed system is doomed to forever plunge into disorder and chaos. Reverend Mike: Unwilling to accept this, Daniel built an advanced supercomputer and fed it all the information in the world. Reverend Mike: "Tell me," Daniel asked, "how can the Youngstown article be kept clear of vandalism?" Wikivac: THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER Daniel: Huh. {{Wikivac actually knows the answer, but became a jerk after attaining self-awareness}} {{If you haven?t read Isaac Asimov?s The Last Question, it is really a charming story.}} {{I can do this comic because I don't think Youngstown reads my comic. I don't think Isaac Asimov does either.}}
