Hammer me down, baby!
Today's comic is based off the old Japanese adage, "The nail that sticks up, gets hammered down."

Sometimes I feel like that's the case, and we all stick up initially. Lately however it seems like the hammering down was slightly skewed, or perhaps I'm an alloy or thinner metal. In the end, it's left me a bit bent.

This weekend, like last, I spent one day feeling sick, probably due to exhaustion, and one day zoning out. I'm also going to use that and an excuse for today’s comic. Heh.

So during one of my brief moments of clarity, where I decided to go get something to drink, I left my house and walked down the street. It was a beautiful day. The sun was out. The trees shimmered with bright and dark greens due to the intense sun, and down the street, I saw the strangest thing on a power line. Something tells me, this, is not the way to plug something in. That wire, up there, is actually a power cord. I wonder if the person learned not to plug in appliances like this the easy way or the hard way.

I was actually going to go into a long rant about nails being hammered down, but perhaps later.

RIP rm-r-comic
