whatever it is that I do here, so it lands a bit low on the hypocrisy scale.\u00c2\u00a0 Wasn&#8217;t there a comic somewhere in all this?\u00c2\u00a0 A very tiny one, yes.\u00c2\u00a0 This starts with Simon fantasizing about throwing his phone into a lake (ah, we&#8217;ve all been there), then musing on whether this is a fad or a piece of technology we&#8217;ll be stuck with for a long time, all in his own inimitable way.\u00c2\u00a0 This is only a few pages but, like I said, the whole issue is\u00c2\u00a0 out now, so you should probably just go ahead and buy that one.\u00c2\u00a0 How do I know that it&#8217;s worth it?\u00c2\u00a0 Well, this is a great little story, and it&#8217;s not like he&#8217;s done anything awful yet, so let&#8217;s call it a leap of faith.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/smoo312.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17548\" title=\"smoo312\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/smoo312-213x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/smoo312-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/smoo312-729x1024.jpg 729w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/smoo312.jpg 1720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Smoo #3 Preview Last time around I asked Simon about the preview and the &#8220;1\/2&#8221;
