[1260] Larisa’s Life Advice, Part 1

This strip was only on the front page for a couple of hours before being replaced by the advertisement for our Kickstarter campaign for the Gaia anthology. It will now stay on the front page until Wednesday or Thursday when Part 2 will be published.

The full quote by Michael Crichton was too long for the comic:

You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward, reversing cause and effect. I call these the wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know."
