I love Hugh MacLeod’s cartoons. In fact this blog was named after one of his cartoons.
His content varies - lots of pithy zingers, lots of cutesy hearts, lots of cruel put-downs, and then, there are few that are just very intense. Like this one…

I was out and about one day when I got a call on my cell phone. Unrecognized number, but I pick up. “Hello? Ms. Mahesh? This is Wilson… your mailman…”
Apparently my passport had arrived in the mail, but he couldn’t leave it for me (I have to sign for it), and he was wondering if […]
I love Fandango’s core service. Buying tickets is simple, elegant and most importantly it works.
But Fandango probably realized recently that it has all this wonderful data that it could use. For example, it shows me all the films I’ve ever watched. Great — that plus Netflix would be a good encapsulation of most everything I […]

Then he talked about his second year at film school. As a gay man, he got tested for HIV and found out that […]

Note: I have no idea where they originated (he got an email forward). If you know, let me know and I will credit the source.
Update: Apparently at least some of these were posted on CollegeHumor.com
UPDATE (on March 4th): Apparently, this post got […]
The New York Times has an interesting piece on flaming.
Flaming has a technical name, the “online disinhibition effect,” which psychologists apply to the many ways people behave with less restraint in cyberspace.
In a 2004 article in the journal CyberPsychology & Behavior, John Suler, a psychologist at Rider University in Lawrenceville, N.J., suggested that several psychological […]
Two pieces of information got me thinking about censorship in India — Niranjana’s post on banned books and news that the Government of India (GOI) was taking action against Neo Sports.
Let me restate - my Neo Sports post on their advertisements on the West Indies tour stated that I personally found the ads tasteless and […]
