Comic 28: Back to Square One

At the airport the other day, I saw a man using an iPad 2 to play…solitaire.

I had to fight the urge to snatch the device out of his hands. Of all the things he could be doing with this breakthrough piece of technology…he’s playing Solitaire?

On an iPad or any other device, I always get a feeling of existential angst when I see someone playing Solitaire. What could be more depressing than a repetitive game of luck that you play by yourself?

Playing solitaire is like drinking yourself into oblivion at a bar, except there are no other patrons and the bartender is an Intel chip. It’s like watching the supercomputer trying to beat itself at Tic-Tac-Toe in War Games.

Chutes and Ladders, though, that shit is FUN.

I gotta go: they’re boarding Group B for the next ladder to square 52.
