The Mad Reader

I blatantly ripped off the "tired, run down and logy" line from the early issues of Mad magazine which remain to this day a huge influence on me. Notice that the carpeting came back for this strip, just so you can tell they're in an attic (or maybe it's a basement) in the last panel. Also, the ghost of the globe that was destroyed by a dart at the end of 2008 makes a guest appearance.
