New comic strip idea: Kelvin and Hobbs.
About an Alpha geek who sits in his lab doing experments and occasionally blowing stuff up, and his imaginary friend who looks on making occasional pithy comments about the state of nature and the brutish and short nature of life, and the value of the civil contract.

Only too cerebral for liberals.
Nathan: THis is unmistakably true. I know a GREAT DEAL about my specific disciplines, perhaps, in aggregate, more than anyone, and within the group of people I work with, I’m the sharpest crayon in the box- but among bloggers, like the Broad Ripple crew? I’m just another dumbass.
An Alpha Geek, accompanied by a friend (not imaginary but very, very alive) who has pithy snark comments about the brutish and short nature of live, and the value of civil contract?
I assume this comic will also feature bicycle rides in a tony part of town, and Views from the Porch that are a polar opposite of the porch views that used to be seen in Doonesbury comics. And the Sunday feature, drawn in color, will always be in a local brewpub or ma and pa Mexican restaurant, featuring the flotsam and jetsam that they know through the mojo wire of the internet.
I like it. Now remember to pay Rob and Tam royalties.

A nerd’s imaginary friend who goes on about life being solitary and poor? Perfect!
