Doonesbury covers the tablet release

Actually Doonesbury is my favourite cartoon strip, and I'm a Brit. It seems to be usually the Fox watching knuckle draggers that don't find him funny. Since he spends so much of his time skewering their opinion-rich but evidence-poor pomposity, that's hardly a surprise.

While we're on the topic it's the "second coming of Jesus" Tablet....

Doonesbury not being funny isn't news.

Does anyone know what the point of Doonesbury is? It's not particularly funny, nor informative. I guess maybe I'm not enlightened enough to get it.

That comic is soo not true, everyone knows we just call him "Steve" or "your excellence"!

"...but if you're hoping for "miracles" over and above, you know, a new way to read newspapers or watch TV, I wouldn't hold your breath."

for me, that would be enough of a miracle: radically altering how we consume printed media and video. don't sell apple short, TUAW!

I like Trudeau's work but take it all with a grain of salt. People really need some inspiration these days and Apple might just deliver. The mainstream press hasn't caught on yet. It's the sub text. The format that saves the publishing industry may also give us all a voice that we didn't have before/ It may be very much as liberating as desktop publishing was in the 90s.

Let's see tomorrow and in the days that follow.

"almost single-handedly sunk the Newton"

I'd call that a radical reading of the text. The Newton, as foresighted and useful as it was, had other problems besides bad PR from Doonesbury.

Gary Trudeau is a vile leftist. Enough said.
