Comic #8 – Sports Fans

Why yes, I do live in New York City, how did you ever guess?

But seriously, can anyone please explain this to me?

(I was actually in the mall, on line waiting to buy a Popeye t-shirt when I saw the display for Yankees World Series Champions t-shirts, that I thought of this comic…)

    because u yankee fans arent really fans they are all just posers real philly fans thou buy it because they want the latest fan gear but when u do the same thing for a cartoon or movie u are also just buying into the moment kool beans p.s. i like ur comics hopefully soon when i get rid of dilbert from the papeer ur th next one that will go up

    Lol, I don’t know enough about sports to comment about any particular team or it’s fans… but I hear what you’re saying.

    I know I usually only buy the t-shirt if I like the cartoon or movie so much I own the dvd or the action figure…. but that’s easy since I have a desk full of toys…

    Glad you like the comic! Please help spread the word… if I get enough readers i’ll start posting twice a week.

    ‘…who can stuff whom’, surely?

  6. stupidinventor

    Wow, my first grammar correction!
    I’ve officially “made it” as a webcomic now! :)

    Thanks for the comment Dorian, I’ll forward it to my mother (she used to be an English teacher) for confirmation.

  7. Tim

    Yes, dorianmode is correct.

  8. berickcook

    I too have just discovered your comic via Abstruse Goose. Good stuff! Time to peruse the archives… *Whips out comment pen dramatically*

    @tim and dorianmode Sorry for the error, I’ll try to be more grammatically correct in the future.

    @berickcook Thanks for checking out the archives! Hope you like them!

    thanks (from Germany, via abstruse goose)

    @eugen Thanks for checking out the site!

    Yes, in fact dorianmode is quite correct: in this case the dative/accusative case is entirely applicable.

    And you just know that *everybody* was thinking that once they hit that line….

      Oh, I’m sure everyone was thinking that… :D

      Honestly, I just don’t have the required grammar knowledge to feel comfortable using the word “whom”.

      :)

      • Angelastic

        Well, I was thinking that.

        Usually you should use ‘whom’ wherever you’d use ‘him’ if you knew who you were talking about. Wait, doesn’t that mean I should have said ‘whom you were talking about’, since I’d say, ‘you were talking about him’? Yet this example doesn’t stand out to me as such an obvious error. I think I’ve grammar-nerdsniped myself.

        • stupidinventor

          Ok, thanks!
          I need a grammar refresher course.
