I originally wrote a joke about how many magazines I have that I don’t read for this strip, but soon realized it wasn’t all that funny so in David Carson fashion what you see above was my solution. Check out the link:

to really understand what I am talking about. I know, if you have to explain the joke it isn’t funny, which I admit 
Hm. I watched some of the video but need to move on. I didn’t get it. I’m familiar with those symbols and stuff when I open a file that’s not a text file though.
Yeah, to be honest with you that strip is pretty old and I new it was going to take someone that just REALLY wanted to understand it to keep looking into it. Seriously, it’s not a very good comic and I think that is why I found it so funny
Basically, somewhere in the video, David Carson says that he was working at a magazine early in his career where the article that he was designing around was so bad he just type set it in Dingbats because at least the design looked better and then there was some sort of merit to it at least
