Packages of Ten? Packages of Eight?


Ever since Josh from The Comics Curmudgeon inroduced the idea that the daily Archie comic was written and drawn by a robot who failed the Turing Test, I can't get it out of my head. This here blog will be mostly daily ruminations on the AI attempt at human comedy.

Today the robot has taken on a decades-old human joke about the failings of our nouns. Apparently pondering the parkway/driveway conumdrum prevents Dilton from hearing derogatory conversations about himself that take place two feet behind him. Also, Archie and Betty look geuinely amazed at someone in the process of silent, non-expository thought. He also looks highly distraught pondering this puzzle. My girlfriend thinks it's because his dog got run over by someone driving in the driveway.

Someone needs to check the purity levels at the Riverdale Reservoir.
