A web comic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.
Panel One: Drawing of two stick figures walking along together. One of them is wearing a white hat and the other has shoulder-length dark hair. In the background, drawn in gray, is a stick figure walking by, wearing a backpack and a mohawk and holding a small electronic device that is making “bleep bloop” noises.
White Hat Guy: “See, that’s the problem with the MTV generation–no attention span.
Panel Two: The first two stick figures have turned to talk to each other.
Stick Figure with Hair: “You know, that phrase referred to the 12-19 demographic that formed the core MTV audience in the mid-1980s.
Panel Three: Close up of Stick Figure with Hair.
White Hat Guy:(off-panel) “Uh huh? So?
Stick Figure with Hair: That generation’s now in their 40s.
Panel Four: First two stick figures again. White Hat Guy is scratching the back of his head.
White Hat Guy: “That can’t be right.”
Stick Figure with Hair: Face it: your problem with the MTV generation is their kids.
Hover text: If you identified with the kids from The Breakfast Club when it came out, you’re now much closer to the age of Principal Vernon.
Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).
