"And terrorists are fluoridating our water with anchor babies! However, we've also solved the energy crisis. Coming up next… Can your daughter get pregnant from a public pool? Are you willing to take the chance? More after the break."
Panel three 9/11 joke– too soon? It's hard to tell. For example, Holocaust jokes still won't be funny for a long time, but witch-burning jokes are a go.
You could set up panic receptors in airports- you'd make BANK! I was in an airport when the first casualties of the swine flu were reported- the panic resulted in an unmitigated disaster! If anything comes on the news that's even remotely dangerous-sounding, people flip.
"Scientists have recently discovered a lack of sun spots…"
"AAAACK!!!! Loot the gift shop for sunblock, though we're all probably DOOMED! DOOMED I tell you, DOOOMED, DOOOOOOOMED!"
Reminded me of an old Soviet-era short story (I can't remember who it's by) about a train that was powered by spite. Everybody blamed everybody else for its not running until suddenly – off it went!
Random Russian literature aside, I love the comic.
I'd have CNN on 24/7!
Tonight on CNN: "Murder, death, coming disasters, we're all gonna die!"
"And terrorists are fluoridating our water with anchor babies! However, we've also solved the energy crisis. Coming up next… Can your daughter get pregnant from a public pool? Are you willing to take the chance? More after the break."
(e-cookies if anyone catches the reference)
That's basically all that's on TV right now, murder, disaster, bombings and politics!
Wouldn't Fox yield more wattage?
Only if you’re conservative. If you’re a liberal or a skeptic, it just generates laughter or depression.
I'd be able to power a city if given access to a medical database of deadly diseases with common symptoms.
LOL at the last panel!
If that would work, people would never be without energy…
"Aaargh… there is no electricity, the lights are going out! And I'm afraid of the dark!" = panic = electricity
OMG Adam, you've found the solluton to the energy-crisis!!!
ha, the solution to the energy crisis IS the energy CRISIS! heh
PLEASE DON'T PANIC THE MANIC. The power company hates competition.
Once upon a time I had anxiety. I'm glad to know it wasn't all a waste of my time.
Don't forget the panic when student loan collections call.
Effing Brilliant!
Dang! My boss should soooo be hooked up to one of those helmets. Excellent strip!
Brilliant! I could power my PC with the amount of low level panic constantly present in me :-).
When i'm crapping my pants of pure unadulterated fright, I wouldn't call that a clean energy source
My mom's electric bill days are over!! Except… that would reduce her worry… hmm… conundrum…
genius… best yet
Horror movies would have a reason to exist! And I thought they were completely pointless before.
Today's strip explains my paranoia. Then again, I'm glad I'm paranoid, it keeps me alive.
Panel three 9/11 joke– too soon? It's hard to tell. For example, Holocaust jokes still won't be funny for a long time, but witch-burning jokes are a go.
id agree with you, but holocaust jokes are pretty hilarious
Thanks 9/11! Now I can afford to keep my lights on!
i would totally fund the research for this energy source
lol truth.
Make "black Friday" the official day for battery charging!
Hahaha, just found your site today. This is hilarious!
Like when you announce at work that Facebook is down…..the city grid would light up! ha
Oh no…now thru the cereal…LOL's
love all four panels adam…

Finally! Glenn Beck will contribute something good to the world!

Didn't Monsters Inc. teach that laughs are far more powerful than fear?
So feed Bug to the people!
But in Monsters University they unlearned it. (Yes I know it is a prequel).
“Thanks 9/11”
you sir are my new hero.
Covid-19 is good for panic energy- and bad for everything else.
