I’m not sure that I get David Gaddis’ comic Piercing. There aren’t any words, but the images are so remarkably expressive, you don’t miss much.

I’m just setting an anchor for Email Roulette. I haven’t tried it, and I probably won’t, but just in case… I almost signed up tonight, but then I realized I don’t have anything worthwhile or weird I want to say to a total stranger, and I probably don’t want to get mail from total strangers [...]
