Today's letter comes from Paul Carter of Boulder, Colorado:

"I like this comic, but I think eventually you are going to run out of ideas.
Paul Carter, Boulder, Colorado"


Thanks for writing, Paul! We actually ran out of ideas already, at strip #16. To remedy this, we invested in the Joketron 5001, a robot that can "create" gags by reading in existing ones as input, combining and modifying them, and then spitting out something that is not quite original, but also isn't copyright infringement*.

We've been feeding it various comedic works ranging from old Simpsons episodes to the underappreciated Arrested Development to an even more recent and lesser known work, but still quality nonetheless, the play I Heart Beijing.

So, you can expect us to continue producing Frog and Penguin comics until either the Joketron 5001 breaks down, or people stop reading.

We hope people keep reading!
