    Funny, I made that comic too about snow. Great minds, eh?

    There’s another artist, Greg Williams, who’s been doing this for a while at

    They’re pretty funny. And I’m not just saying that because he chose to illustrate one of my tweets, which he did.

  • Bryan Price

    I hear thunder, I hit the radar icon of my Forecastfox for Firefox.

    What’s truly sad, I’M FACING THE WINDOW WITH NO SHADES OR CURTAINS! North facing, so I don’t have to deal with the sun much.

  • Jonathan Frei

    Guilty as charged. I ride my bike to work so the rain makes a difference, but when I hear thunder I open up wunderground.com rather than getting up and looking out the window.

  • Halloween Jack

    The cat’s twitching tail as he watches the fish swimming past is what really makes the cartoon.

    And WRT the Google Weather thing (weather.com for me), I live in a basement apartment with windows that I put opaque coverings on after I caught someone peeping in on me and masturbating, so it’s a lot more convenient for me to check online. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it.

  • wkiernan

    Well of course I looked at the internet when I heard thunder outside this morning! Looking out the window might tell me what’s going to happen between right now and two minutes in the future, whereas looking at the NWS (www.weather.gov) shows the clouds in motion a hundred miles out into the Gulf.

  • Gunn

    And you know you’re a paranoid geek if you hear thunder, then Google “Seattle weather hoax.”

    Not sure what it could be, but when I hit page 2 of this site I get a phishing warning from Google Chrome. I think it may be an ad; it’ll start to load then just switch to the red screen of death.
