Temper

Image text: Mr. Rogers projected an air of genuine, unwavering, almost saintly pure-hearted decency. But when you look deeper, at the person behind the image ... that's exactly what you find there, too. He's exactly what he appears to be.
Hello neighbors...
Mr. Rogers is awesome!
Public Opinion

Image text: News networks giving a greater voice to viewers because the social web is so popular are like a chef on the Titanic who, seeing the looming iceberg and fleeing customers, figures ice is the future and starts making snow cones.
I completely agree. Those "voices on the street" segments are probably the most awkward segments ever as well. Must. Change. Channel.
HDTV

Image text: We're also stuck with blurry, juddery, slow-panning 24fps movies forever because (thanks to 60fps home video) people associate high framerates with camcorders and cheap sitcoms, and thus think good framerates look 'fake'.
I'll be honest with you, and I'm not trying to be THAT guy. But, this comic comes off a might condescending towards the "people". How dare they be impressed!
Tornado Hunter

Image text: The Fujita Scale was replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007, but I think 'EF-5' sounds stupid, so I vote we just use the new measurements for assigning numbers but still call them 'F-whatever'.
This is a riff on the show Discovery Channel show, Storm Chasers, in which they try to get as close to a tornado as possible with their highly tuned instruments.
This comic is a cross between Storm Chasers and a typical animal hunt in which the animal is shot and mounted as a prize.
The Fujita Scale is a hurricane rating system in which the size and strength of the tornado is rated based on damage on the ground from the tornado and wind speed.
