The above is, of course, a true story. Just a weird coincidence…
…or is it?!? Who’s to say that me and my Singer XL-5000 don’t actually control the world? I make plenty of mistakes… even with the most well thought out designs, and the endless bobbin inevitably breaks down… that sounds suspiciously like real life to me… I mean just take a look at Congress. It kind of makes sense. Maybe my next project should be to stitch out the state of Michigan with a balanced budget… or Israel and Palestine mutually respecting each other within their own well-defined borders…
…or maybe just a picture of Gabe and Tycho asking *me* for advice…
…no… that would just be too weird…

Oh, Dave. I love this! What a great thing, the jacket and the strip and I always love the commentary.
And now I want a Singer XL-5000 of my very own.
Actually, the XL-5000 is out of production, and the new Singer machines are… fragile… Shoot for a Husqvarna, you’ll be much happier!
But thank you for your comments. I’m actually quite pleased with panel 2… lopsided hair and all…
