Hello Interwebs.

This blogcomic was designed with the intention of educating the internet users on the correct way to compose and carry one's self out in polite society.  We will explore such functions of social niceities as doors, DMV lines, fast-food drive-thrus  and a variety and plethora of other subjects and the correct way to use, act, or otherwise implement behavior regarding these elements as well as the INCORRECT ways.


Comics will be interspersed throughout blogs containing meandering philosophical jargon about the meaning of life and of things such as shelves, sealions, or other such nonsense.


Submissions are welcome.

Enjoy.
