This is appropriate for me. I will show mrs. thegreekdog and she will say something like, "I can't believe you're such a nerd."

Yeah, but representing the third wave of democratization in a comic panel involving monkeys would have been trickier.

I appreciate the Escher homage (you remember Art Appreciation from school, right?) and I am sympatico with the other 3, although the last one suggests a person who talks on a cell phone, surfs the Web for videos and background information about them, and drives a car, all at the same time.
