It is very strange to go back and read Shortpacked after a couple of years of reading Dumbing of Age, and now I wonder how people felt doing things in the opposite order.

Can’t even start a lazy Saturday archive binge of a decades-old webcomic without coming back to Jacques Ellul, concerns about quantification and metrics, etc.

A screencap from Shortpacked. Faz is brandishing a graph and says to Galasso: “Contrary to what he says, I have this graph that clearly shows a line going up.” In the next panel, Ethan counters: “You don’t even know what that graph represents!” Galasso replies that it “represents upness.”

One of my favorite webcomics is a long runner that began when I was just starting high school, so the archive binge I began this week is bringing back memories in multiple ways.
