Description First, a clip illustrating how the Seattle Summer works.

Drew this one for the paper back in late September. The weather was beautiful back then. Sunny clear skies, birds singing, 80-90 degree weather, absolutely fantastic. But the weirdest thing was that it was in Seattle.

So what did we do? Pretend that it was summer. There seemed to be this unspoken rule that no one could speak the word "rain" or it would trigger the floodgates of heaven to open.

Well of course as the cartoonist my job is to screw things up for everyone, so I drew this. The day after I did, it started raining.

Actually, as soon as I said that it was still sunny here, the weather channel began predicting heavy rains for tomorrow and the rest of the week.

I rejoice every time I go to Canada, and it's all cold and rainy, which makes me actually appreciate warm weather.

Yes, sometimes you have to lose something before you can appreciate it again. I'm sure if I went down to California, I'd appreciate the rain and fog when I came home as well!

Depending on where in California you went. I had the sometimes stupid, sometimes amazing luck to end up in the Silicon Valley, where not only does EVERY FREAKING PERSON HAVE A MAC (making PCs feel sorry for themselves), but it's also SoCal weather with NorCal politics.

Woah, I didn't know there was such a place? And a land full of Macs... ooh, I don't know whether to be in envious awe or to be disgusted with the preppiness. I have a love hate relationship with Macs.

Same here. Most of my friends have them, and, until this year, our school was chock full of them, so I recognize their prettiness and usefulness. But my dad has this personal vendetta against Apple, so since I can't afford to buy one myself, I just pretend like I prefer PCs. :3

Mmhmm! PCs are awesome with business related stuff, and perfect for customizing, programming, etc, but most importantly-- VIDEO GAMES! All the best games are for PC, that's why they're awesome.

However... Macs are really good for artsy Adobe programs.

Psychiatric-Nitemare In reply to Peppermint-Biscuit [2009-03-11 03:39:20 +0000 UTC]

MOST IMPORTANT OF COURSE.

Sadly, yes. But at least some good graphics programs will run on PCs, while GOOD GAMES WON'T WORK AT ALL ON MACS HA HA.

What you say is very true. However, after working with adobe programs on a PC for a couple weeks, using a Mac feels like sliding into the sexy leather seats of a Ferrari. Suddenly your speeding down the freeway with ease and control. Then you get back onto your PC, which functions like a Ford. Sure it works fine, gets you from here to there, but it just not the same.
