Actually, for a while now nerds have been very sexually active, just very endogamous. We just gotta get one of the Kardashians into a con hotel room as Patient Zero, and all STDs will be cured within the year, for real.

#401- Stand Up

Nerds get shit done, but they don’t get done, you know? It’s a problem.

Like I think lots of people, I often develop stand-up routines in my head, fail to write them down, and forget them, although I would probably never have the cojones to do stand-up anyway. Her’es a bit I actually wrote down, it was originally a lot longer but stand-up is better suited to rambling than comics.

    I mean, being educational, that pretty much sums up my comics career to date

    haha amaaazing! The alt text should get its own comic from this one, it made me laugh too.
    To dictionary.com!

    I have done that before too, writng down possible stand-up material. Also! Recently I saw a news story about a vaccine that is 31% (which is actually pretty good for the early stage of something like that) effective toward stopping AIDS, maybe I should look up more about it but it was either preventative or curing. Either way awesome progress! and…long comment!

    Ali- thanks! Yeah I would have liked to have done this comic longer, but there’s all this “time” nonsense and such.

    Alex- Damn, that’s awesome! The nerds are on the motherfucker. I remember also last year or so there was that one guy who was the only known case of someone’s immune system being able to kick AIDS. I wonder if studying him had to do with that vaccine, or if they’ve otherwise used him to get any breakthroughs. I haven’t heard anything about him since the first news story. They’ve probably got him chained up in some laboratory… long response comment!

    oh it did it for me, cool

  8. Sarah Says:

    i really like this format, the comic about a comedian, nice.

  9. BenBen Says:

    Alex- Damn, that is amazing! I’m surprised there hasn’t been a bit more hubbub about the whole thing.

    Sarah- Thanks! Yeah I’ll probably never do stand up on stage, so I might as well do it in a comic.

    Also, thanks everyone for all the comments lately! They make me feel way more motivated to get shit done with this bidness.
