Cartoonix: Anatomy of a Ziff-Davis Pundit
March 22, 2000

After Humorix's stock (Nasdaq: FAUX) plummeted to less than
one cent yesterday, an emergency staff meeting was held at
Humorix World Headquarters to find ways to increase
readership.  In the past, we've stolen... er, borrowed the
successful ideas of other portal sites.  This time is no
exception. Watching with envy as other online comic strips
have taken off while we still only have two regular
readers, we've decided to launch our own line of editorial
cartoons called "Cartoonix."

This first cartoon is inspired by a recent Jesse
OutBerst[1]. Before we present the cartoon, we need to
offer a heartfelt thank you to Jesse Berst and the rest of
the Ziff-Davis gang for  providing an endless stream of
articles to poke fun at over the years.  Without
Ziff-Davis, our supply of humor would have dried up by now.

Jesse Berst warns that Linux could fragment.  Maybe this
pundit needs to take a look in the mirror...

You can view the PNG format cartoon (500 x 450 pixels, 32
kilobytes) at:

We tried rendering this comic in ASCII text format, but it
looked horrible.  Of course, with our poor drawing skills,
the graphical version doesn't look like much either...
