    “Our target demographic is folks with two strikes on ’em with two out in the bottom of the ninth, if you catch my drift.”

    Guess Pmm and Jfff can’t be bothered with attending.

    Who would target his demographic? A kid with a peashooter?

    So…they spent like a million days moving tables, and then…LEFT THE TABLES?! ALONE? OUT in the BAKING SUN? Why is this strip suddenly NOT about tables?! Tom, your demographic right now is CRAZY MAN SCREAMING WHERE TABLES BE?!?! AAAAHHH. And, I dunno, people missing arms, I ain’t the God here Tom, that’s your job.

    The freebie paper Waffle House patrons flip through while waiting for their order has a “demographic”?

    Guess they closed the pizza place, since they’re the only employees? Good luck affording to sponsor a team when you’re not making any money.

    Unfortunately the target audience is dwindling away. Very few people need to have a hard copy in their hands today.

    Writing about things that people want to read about is what a newspaper does, yes. What is the point of today’s strip?

    Reporting on recreational league softball games. I see why the paper was canceled.

    So… who will write the best-selling, prize-winning book about this game? I’m betting on Lizard Lil writing the book and Masoné Jar-Jarré starring in the docudrama… which will change Ed’s name to Chad for audience demographic reasons.
