A lot of times I go for the art more than anything else. If it doesn't 
look good, its too distracting for me, and I lose interest in the comic 
fast. This one isn't too bad. Might be worth adding to my comic list.

Why did you have to mention this?  I spent 3 1/2 hours last night going 
through the archives!

Heh, things got interesting after #500... Now at #660.

And impressively I'm also progressing in the "productive stuff"...

The strange thing is that last week I couldn't get anything done. This 
week I read the comic *and* did useful stuff :\

Don't be too hard on yourself, it could happen to anyone.

I'm not being hard on myself. It just makes little sense that I got a 
new distraction (thanks to the newsgroup mascot) yet got more productive.

But if I think "hey, getting distractions *makes me* more productive", 
probably that won't work well... (the whole "correlation does not imply 
causation" thing)
