    “Chris’ grandkids is hired to make a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon show after Bill Watterson dies. Calvin raps and snowboards a lot in it; apparently that cheeses people off.”

    Perfect!

    …and it does by the way. I’m glad I’ve seen less of him peeing on logos though.

    If I had a time machine, first thing I’d do is get a rain coat and go back to when they blew up that dead whale on that beach in Oregon.

    Bah. Great column, as usual, but I’m really disappointed nobody took it at face value.

    Hypothetically speaking, suppose there were real time travellers. They would probably had had strict training (future past perfect) to avoid spilling the beans and revealing themselves, no matter how skilfully a noted Internet humorist plays them. So, those hypothetical (and we’re being hypothetical here) time travelers would by no means reveal themselves by posting incensed comments as a response to the article. So, we can work out that anyone who complains about this article claiming to be a real time traveller is not in fact a real time traveller but merely joking. This would then be the first time that Lore writes an Alt Text that causes no real complaints at all. Which is sort of comforting.

    But of course this is completely hypothetical as regards the time travelers. I mean, if it weren’t, my grandfather would be getting shot right now, because I would be actually revealing there really are time travellers. Or right then, actually, when he got shot (past future tense now). Which would mean I couldn’t have written this (totally made up tense now), and you wouldn’t be reading this (sideways conditional tense). But you are, so everything is OK. Right?

    Reading Lore is dangerous! At least I forgot about the lions for a while.

    This is, by a good margin, one of the most entertaining articles I have ever read.
