That's a lovely way to end it, by which I mean both the strip and that story. House Computer was an alright one-off villain, but having the same character be the shadowy mastermind behind everything two stories in a row is just hacky.

That last "strip" wasn't the least bit surprising. ZNJ goes down like a true web comic with yet another creator blaming the platform for their own failures at self-promotion. The sullen summary of the plot points that didn't get hit as part of the petulant mike drop is true to form, too.

Good riddance, Zachary Nixon Johnson was dreadful. Let's talk about a better comic: Why is Flintheart playing Teddy instead of Mortimer? Is Dick Tracy going to get shoehorned into the role of Mortimer to solve this one?

Hey, y'know when everyone's image of computers was ENIAC-style monstrosities? In the '70s, setting of JOHN DARLING!!!

In today's strip, John has gone to Hollywood (because the book publishers didn't care about keeping the strips in order or retaining any of the running plot arcs). Specifically, he's at TCL Chinese Theatre (which, at the time, was known as "Grauman's Chinese Theatre"). A common practice at Grauman's/TCL is to have select celebrities leave their handprints, footprints, and signature in a slab of wet cement; tourists can admire these, and compare the celebrities' footprints to their own.

Punchline of today's strip: John thinks that the similarity between his feet and those of noted actor and director Robert Redford indicates that he is as talented as Redford, and will soon be as famous.

Hidden punchline: As of November 2014, Robert Redford has never participated in a cement-slab memorial ceremony at Grauman's/TCL. There is no slab with Robert Redford's footprints.

Guilty of doing this. I'd rather have the money and I figure whoever buys it will appreciate it more than me.


Luckily for Dustin there are myriad businesses that will cater to last minute shoppers and rush deliver it and everything! And then when UPS gets overloaded with volume and things arrive late you can get shopping credits for it not arriving on time.
