My taste in humor

Does anyone know who writes this comic? I'd love to see more of his/her work, and want to give credit where credit is due.

Also, I find this extremely amusing. Funny, even.

Also also, I'm amused that I already have "ennui" as a tag on this blog.

UPDATE: A friend told me that this comic is Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal written by Zach Weiner. I think Superman and Light both read this one. I can see why.

Having a bit of fun here [!!Excessively Verbose Post Warning!!]

en·nui [ on wee ]
noun
Definition:
boredom from lack of interest: weariness and dissatisfaction with life that results from a loss of interest or sense of excitement
[Mid-18th century. from French from Latin in odio (est) "(it is) hateful"]

I am having an amazing amount of fun with word definitions of late. I was recently reminded, through a very circuitous routing of trains of thought, of one of my favorite words. Ennui. It is such a useful word, really, especially to those of us who are prone to some degree of depression.

The favorite use of the word ennui from my cloudy memory is in Edward Gorey's poetic story The Gashlycrumb Tinies. The relevant line is "N is for Neville who died of ennui." This link to the story is a totally unauthorized excerpt, I must admit. But there it is.

But wait! There's more! I have a challenge for my readers. Those of you with blogs of your own please post an entry on your blog in which you use the word ennui in context within the entry. No fair writing "This weird blogger chick wants me to use the word ennui." That doesn't count.

Some days it doesn't take much to entertain me. Ur-Spo wrote about happiness on his blog recently. In my current ennui, being in the doldrums of summer, I am proud of myself for finding these snippets of happiness. Or am I creating the happiness? Recognizing it? Whatever. It works for me. That the air conditioner is working makes all this possible. Bless you, Saint Willis Haviland Carrier, the foundation of my he-ro worship.

If you take up the gauntlet of the ennui challenge, please indicate so in the comments of this post or send me an email. Thank you.
