Something Positive

[beowabbit]

I should have been in bed hours ago, but I’m still up, and I have to say, R. K. Milholland rocks my socks. Something Positive is a funny webcomic, but sometimes it’s also literature. Here’s today’s comic, but if you haven’t been following it, you should first start here and read forward, and you might want to read this comic and the following two first for context.

If any of you out there isn’t already reading Something Positive regularly, you’re welcome.

-I love the indicia gag in today's (1/30) comic: "My mother left me the most annoyed-sounding voicemail ever . . . I wonder why?"

That's not a gag. His mother no doubt did, given the recent storyline. Hell *I* am tempted to leave him an annoyed voicemail.

-The legal-and-contact stuff at the bottom of the comic is the indicia. (As found at the bottom of the first page of most older comic books.) RKM usually puts a one-line comment in there, usually funny (though often rather dark). This practice is generically an "indicia gag". My calling this particular comment a gag does not indicate that I think it's fiction, nor does it necessarily indicate that I think it's funny. I'm simply using a generic term.

(Though, in fact, I do think it's funny, and I think RKM put it there with the intention to amuse. So, it is a gag.)
