Monkey Law

I overheard someone this evening saying that Richard Pryor was dead. So as soon as I got home I checked out CNN and was saddened to see that it was true.

Why can’t they make comedians this funny anymore? I mean, I like Eddie Izzard, and Dave Chapelle makes me laugh, but there doesn’t seem to be anyone with the effortless, natural talent that Richard Pryor had. He had comedy coming out of every pore. I’d say I’ll miss him, but of course since he’s been sick we’ve been missing him for years.

I suggest everyone go out and honor his memory by hitting Jerry Seinfeld or some other crap comic with a brick. Then when he’s down, start pissing on his head, shouting “What is the deal with people pissing on my head?? Who are these people??” Then run away looking for Carrot Top.

What I’m working on right now is road-testing a script by Webmonkey Ash that will allow readers to “tag” (bookmark) their place in the Monkey Law archives and return to that place at a later date. This solves one of the more frustrating things about webcomics — too many are hard to easily find your way around in if you’re reading the complete archives, then stop and return to them later on. I’m working my way through Questionable Content right now, and with over 500 strips in the archive (which is more than I have, but doesn’t approach the sheer volume that some longer-running strips have) it’s tough to remember where I was. As Monkey Law approaches its 200th strip, I thought now would be a good time to start thinking about things like that.

This script should be live later today.

UPDATE: It’s now live. Let me know what you think!
