BRAINPAN LEAKAGE

Hamster Month Continues on Brainpan Leakage…

Image Copyright © M. R. Sellars – This is likely to be the single most twisted and bizarre “Merp The Tech Hamster” toon ever. It looks innocuous on the surface, but when you know the story behind it, there is a bit of weirdness factor like you wouldn’t believe. As I mentioned before, Phyllis metaphorically played the character of “Doctor Shirley Knot,” Merp’s arch nemesis. There had never been any real explanation behind why she was his nemesis, or even why he had a nemesis to begin with, other than the fact that it gave me something to “draw about”… At any rate, in one of Phyllis’s far more darkly humored moods, she mentioned something about baby hamsters on a plate with cocktail sauce – ala shrimp cocktail. Yeah… Kind of “ewww-bizarre-funny-ewww” all at the same time, I know.

Either way, that little snippet ran through my head and by proxy, Merp’s head too. And so, as he “remembered” the plate of baby hamsters with cocktail sauce he had a Eureka moment that finally explained the adversarial relationship between the two of them.

Hamster Month Continues on Brainpan Leakage…

Image Copyright © M. R. Sellars – This would be the only Merp Toon I took great pains to schedule chronologically in this blog series. This took place the first February I worked for the new company – on February 20th, in fact, as noted in the caption. On that day the staff of the new workplace surprised me with a mess of off-key singing and morning donuts.

For those of you who may not have caught on, today is my birthday. Back then I was turning 34. Today, I’m not. Believe me, I’d like to be turning 34 – as long as I could know what I now know. Know what I mean, ya’ know? Unfortunately, Merp still hasn’t perfected the Wayback Machine – except on paper and dry erase board of course.
