Dipswitch: Stop. Judge.

posted Oct. 14, 2008 12:43:56 PM by

This weeks comic is a little late to the party, but it still makes me smile. After years of enduring Jack Thompson's tirades, he finally got what was coming to him. It warms my heart that Thompson was finally stopped from perverting our legal system with his own personal crusade against video games. I often admire people who stand up for what they believe in, especially when they are a lone voice amongst many. That being said, Thompson stood up for what he believed in, in a totally disrespectful and unprofessional manner. I may not have liked, or agreed with what he was arguing, but had he approached it in a way that wasn't reminicent of a child throwing a tantrum, I would have at least been able to respect what he stood for.

Anyways, alienmastermind titled the comic based off the old arcade game Karate Champ. In full disclosure, I've never heard of this game before, let alone played it, so it holds no nostalgic value for me, hopefully it does for someone else. As for the actual crux of the comic, alien felt that Thompson reminded him of what the Mad Hatter from Disney's Alice and Wonderland would have been like had he been real. I have to agree, and would love to see him arguing a case looking like he does in this piece.
