Last week Seattle congressman Jim McDermott's scheduling secretary, Elizabeth Becton, flogged a lobbyist with nineteen blistering emails, all because he called her Liz. When these emails were published, many dismissed it as an 'exceptional psychofit' from 'an hysterical psychobitch'. To us, this conclusion seemed unconsidered and unjust. As this cartoon illustrates, even the most logical sentient being, equipped with a MALE voice synthesizer, can be set off by an unflattering nickname.

Thanks Tripp393. Much appreciated.
We've sort of been on this kinetic typography kick lately, experimenting with possible uses of it. We think there's promise for someone to make a cool web comic this way. It's more dynamic than a typical strip, but a lot less labor intensive than true animation.
Still, it could probably use some kind of soundtrack.
