Frank’s web comic, Spamusement, was inspired by the ridiculous and absurd subject lines of spam emails.

Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering? … I think so, Brain, but if we keep using AI to generate our responses, will we become obsolete as mice of wit and humor?

The Enigma of Twitter: 85 Days Without a Response
