Schedule Update: I hope to finally post 4 strips instead of 2 this week so I can finally be up to date with posts…. I’m going to catch up eventually! I also hope to make a new Stupid Invention video! I hope!
I know this comic is a bit corny, but it’s true!
I really bought a Where’s Waldo tshirt recently that I can’t find anywhere!
Well played, Waldo, well played….

Episode 35: The Arcade Lounge Chair
By stupidinventor on September 2nd, 2010Posted In: Stupid Inventions Blog
Don’t you wish you could play your favorite classic Arcade games while relaxing in the sun?
Well now you can, with the Arcade Lounge Chair from Stupid Inventions!
Just sit back, drink an iced tea, and work that joystick as you play pac man while getting a sun tan!
How We Made It:
The lounge chair has been in my backyard all Summer, not sure where my Mother got it.
The computer stuff is actually the Arcade Bookshelf taken out of the bookshelf and rigged to the Lounge Chair.
The main computer parts are under the chair in a plastic bin.
The monitor was tied and duct taped to the chair, the canopy needed reinforcing to handle the weight of the monitor.
The rig isn’t so sturdy, but if you are trying to build your own or just have any questions about the invention, feel free to ask me a question in the comments and I’ll try to answer you as best I can!
Thanks,
Zachary

The awesome folks at the Staten Island Advance also wrote this really great article telling people to vote (less than 5 hours to go: if you haven’t voted yet, GO!) So check it out, I’m sure the comments will get nasty pretty soon…

Speaking of nasty comments, one of the weekly bashers of Missed The Boat decided to write their complaint as a poem, so I naturally responded with a poem twice as long!
The Winner of the Cartoonist Contest will be announced on Thursday!
Thank you everyone for voting and spreading the word!
I really appreciate it! Can you believe that two months ago I was asking you all the pick your favorite strips?!?!
Vote here! http://postfun.washingtonpost.com/post/entry/americas-next-great-cartoonist-vote-ii
