Tales of Mere Existence
Tales of Mere Existence is a fairly popular YouTube animated comic strip that I follow from time to time. Here’s a newly released episode…

Pick-up Tips For Guys
A guy tried to pick me up the other day and it was so bad that I thought I would share how bad it was so that others can learn from his mistakes.
1) Do NOT try to pick up a woman while in a Pizza Hut line inside a Target.
2) DO notice that she is buying two individual size pizzas and is carrying a huge bag of diapers.
3) Do NOT try to pick up a woman while you are wearing a sleeping 1.5 year old in a carrier strapped to your front.
4) DO know that she helped you pick up the dollar bill you dropped because she thought you were a fellow parent and understood your situation. She did NOT do it to give you an opening to hit on her AND when she realizes that you took advantage of the situation to lure her into a conversation, she will NOT be happy. You don’t want to make momma unhappy.
5) Do NOT try to pick up a woman by asking her “Do you know any good restaurants around here,” followed by, “Do you know where this conversation is going?”
6) DO note that her wedding ring glitters brilliantly in the fluorescent Target lighting and she’s not just wearing the ring because her husband would be pissed if she wasn’t. She’s also wearing it to send a message to men just like you and the message is not “come hither you hunka hunka…ooo, is that an Ergo?”
Attractive Girl’s Union at Odds with Mike Greenman
This… this is sheer genius. I confess a tinge of jealousy at not coming up with this one. The concept isn’t new, as several friends have expressed a belief to me in a “female hive mind.” But the execution here is nearly perfect.

Internet’s Angriest Man?
Resurrecting this old Mep relic for your enjoyment. This was a copy of an online dating profile that I had authored to see what kind of reaction a completely contrarian (and wildly cranky) profile would get.
Mepper banned from parenting group!
Well, I wasn’t banned, I was kicked out. And well, I didn’t meet one of the requirements of the group: members must attend a get together within the first 30 days of joining. But I was busy Mepping!!!
So now I’m left having to try to meet moms at the park. I feel like I’m trying to pick them up:
“You live around here?”
“Come here often?”
“Know of any fun things to do around here?”
“So, can I have your number?”
Sigh…I need to start a dating service for stay-at-home moms. Ewomb.com

Klaus Pierre: Existentialist Adventures
Another ad hoc piece. We decided to stage an argument between Klaus Pierre and his on site Producer (played by actual producer, Dana Devonshire). I played the cameraman who happens to discover the fight and turn on the camera. At the time of filming, I was convinced that this footage was headed for internet Internet immortality. It may yet.
