Latest strip: 241 – Tuesday, February 10, 2026

Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: Naught But Cowbell

Strip 241. The team checks out other shops, observing more strange aspects of the future world.
References: ridiculous wheels: strip 196; prior art
They pass a store called “Mobilitee” which has some of the ‘Sagwey’ models in its display, as well as some hexagonal and octagonal wheels.
Adil: More of those ridiculous wheels! At least these come closer to being round. And, more preposterous Sagwey models…
Max: That is the only brand name I have seen so far which did not get displaced by some random string brand, or one that refers to bodily fluids.

Steve: Hmm, “Scroll store.” I suppose this is the equivalent of a book store. Well, at least these future people are still reading something.
Alana: Look, an announcement for a revolutionary new product.

The display shows an open book, with a sign: “patent pending.”
Steve: Looks suspiciously like a book. Someone reinvented pagination, and even patented it?
Alana: Surely they must know books besides the ones Alfred has? I guess the concept of prior art just does not exist in this time.
Steve: I doubt anyone even knows what a patent truly is…
