Huh, Cat gets the soapbox this time. Wonder how long that hasn’t happened.

My favourite part is how defeated Girl gets when this happens.

as someone who has kept an online diary since 1997, which gradually decayed when i didn’t have anything pubic and interesting to write about, i have to agree with both cat and girl. secrets are an anachronism, but so is draughtsmanship, and motherlove.

i like fish sticks, but i never buy them so that i won’t be judged in the checkout line. :)

Which is worse blogging about what you ate or keeping a diary about what you are going to eat?

This reminded me alot of ‘The Peep Diaries’ by Hal Neidzviecki.

Fishsticks are a secret?

“Secrets Are An Anachronism” printed in distressed type on a black t-shirt, stylized barcode on the sleeve, now on sale in your local Hot Topic.

Man, Cat, don’t tell the police that.
Particularly not when the discussion of my self and my proximity to a family of dead corpses is involved.

What a riot!

I think Cat’s comment in panel seven reflects the mentality of a lot of people who submit to PostSecret. Instead of having a burning desire to get a secret off their chest, they have a burning desire to be featured on PostSecret. It doesn’t matter what the secret is, as long as it’s presented in craft form.

I think that’s the only way to tell the difference between a secret and a ransom note. Ransom notes are made out of newspaper clippings… secrets involve a much broader range of craft materials.

Books are secrets. I just hate getting to the end and finding out the secret isn’t worth knowing. Maybe that was the secret all along. Nah. I don’t think any author would be that satirical. Hmm. . .maybe Thackeray.

@joshua: or Vonnegut

So I guess no one else is seeing Cat as the pragmatic one and Girl as the idealistic one?

I love this one.

She must be a gay fish.

“Meaning is an Anachronism,” now available at Hot Topic. Your choice of Kenny or Stewie beside the distressed text.

Gay fish? Aw already taken.

Cat starts rambling about ethics and England, and out comes the pipe.

Is that his thinking-pipe?

And the moral of the story is… don’t put greasy fishstick on diary pages, they will go all slimy, use a plate instead!
