That damned iPhone

What's Mallard raving about today?

iPhone

Apple releases an iPhone once per year, Mallard. You are an idiot.

Also, why do you hate the Free Market?

Hadn't Tinsley quit drinking in the wake of his DUI arrest in 2006?

I suppose alcoholic blackouts might account for a time-binding failure with regard to his perception of the frequency with which Apple markets new versions of their iPhone, but jeez....

Hey Batshit, Ford and GM come out with new models every. Single. Year. DO A STRIP BITCHING ABOUT THAT! ZOMG AWESOME

Mallard "comic" template:
1) Point out something popular that inexplicably annoys him
2) ???
3) Profit!
4) Drink.

Short, to the point, focused on the stupidity of Mallard Fillmore, and devoid of attempts to paint a business-friendly centrist President from Hawaii as some kind of African-born (insert synonym for "Communist" here). Who are you, what have you done with the real Tucci, and how much do we have to pay you to ensure we never get the real Tucci back? Or are you the real Tucci, and you've finally stopped that certifiably brain-damaged idiot who keeps posting crazy comments under your name?

Steve-O: Why are you assuming drinking comes last?

Let's see... the box is simplified so that users can open it within a year. Hell, I think Mallard's just playing to his base here.

@dlauthor, good point!

"So buyers can start using it quickly, before the ..."

Does he get paid per word? "Quickly," is not needed for the (lame) punchline. The comic has handwritten words.

If it was typed, then typos like that happen when someone has many different ways to phrase something and accidentally typed out two at once. But writing by hand is a bit slower.

@Neo Tuxedo --

Seconded. I call shenanigans.

Today's "comic" is mildly amusing and, even better, not hateful.
Sure, the drawing and scripting can fairly be described as lazy but let's not complain about mere mediocrity.

Since it brings up Apple, let me again recommend "The Agony And Ecstacy of Steve Jobs", a show that will change your attitude toward Chinese-made gadgets forever. If you are a patriot and/or have a heart.

P.S. Tinsley just can't catch a break. How could he have know today's comic would come out the same time as the announcement of Amazon's "Fire". I really am beginning to think that Comic Fate has it in for him.

An accurate comic:

"Apple's new Macintoshes will be packaged with a Wii so that you can play games, and the 800% markup and lack of multiple-core technology will be slightly less ridiculous.

Here, T:S, have an internets. In fact now, brotherman, here, have two.

It's finally happened: Mallard's eyebrows are trying to escape from his face. Go, little eyebrows, go!!
