Kids today, with their Facebook memes and their hula hoops and their Kylie Minogues. Amirite?
Especially outstanding "artistry" today. I like how in the first panel the kid is talking with his lips closed tight.

For example, Saturday Morning Brekfast Cereal, xkcd, The Trenches ... and thousands more are consistently better in concept, art and writing on every freaking day!

Here's an actual graduation speech making many of the same points Tinsley's trying to, but with the advantage of being coherent.
Tinsley should look into it sometime.
