Which gets broken every now and then anyway, and it&#8217;s not like I have a boss breathing down my neck one way or the other. Anyway! This is a collection of this strips from right before the pandemic, which was formerly known as &#8220;normal life.&#8221; Subjects include watching a bird frenzy, modern technology helping with the lawn mowing, trying to explain that he&#8217;s not up the task of making a phone call to the doctor adequately, the checklist when he leaves the house, termites, dipping fries in milk, the thought of being trapped in a dentist&#8217;s chair listening to the hygienist, trying to maximize his reading time, attempting the ill-advised trick of urinating into an empty bottle while driving, explaining the meaning behind the terminology of ska fans to his young daughter, and a few other things that I&#8217;ll leave as a total surprise. As always, I chuckled more than a few times reading this, and yes, that does count as a recommendation. This is also a series where you&#8217;ll be OK if you haven&#8217;t read the first five issues, so jump in wherever, give it a shot! $5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"670\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002-670x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002-670x1024.jpg 670w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002-768x1174.jpg 768w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002-1005x1536.jpg 1005w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002-164x250.jpg 164w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002-115x175.jpg 115w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002-25x38.jpg 25w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002-141x215.jpg 141w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_20210523_0002.jpg 1198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Forever and Everything #6 In case you&#8217;re curious if a guy who does regular diary style comics kept going during the pandemic, the subtitle of this one is &#8220;the pre-pandemic naivete issue.&#8221; Which makes me naturally curious to read the next issue, as I&#8217;m oddly fascinated to see how artists handled the past year, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[5868],"class_list":["post-26742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-kyle-bravo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26742"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26742\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26745,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26742\/revisions\/26745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
