That's about the same effect that the writers' strike had on me too. It could always be worse. :) That was a funny strip. That’s about the same effect that the writers’ strike had on me too.

That was intended as a comment on the writers strike, not people's grandmothers dying. Sorry, y'all.) (Err… That was intended as a comment on the writers strike, not people’s grandmothers dying.

If I was a writer on strike, I'd demand the ability to write thought-provoking, meaningful scripts that didn't pander towards making the most profit possible. My Grandmother died a week before Christmas five years back and it's only been this year that the event hasn't cast a pallor over the whole holiday. And her death from a cerebral blood clot was not a result of neglecting her condition. She fell and then died six hours later.
