What other comic would provide such a well crafted Aaron Sorkin joke?
None, that is what other comic would provide this service.

Having now seen The West Wing, this strip no longer leaves me cold and confused. Amazing scenes.

Sorkin feels a gentle pressure on his neck. Unseen hands have taken his pulse.

It's also much like a David Mamet script.

No, mr_wilson, this is Mamet...

Philippe: Lyle's cussing!
Mr. Bear: Gabriel? Swearing? AGAIN?!
Philippe: He's cussing!
Mr. Bear: That fucking cocksucker thinks he can come into my fuckin house and put that fuckin' sauce in your ears?! He's fuckin dead!
T�odor: Hey assholes, which one-a you fuckin assholes is cussing?!
Mr. Bear: Gabriel.
Philippe: He's cussing!
T�odor: Everybody cusses. That's why they fuckin call it cussing!
Lyle: The fuck?
T�odor, Mr. Bear: Cut that fuckin shit out!
Philippe: No cussing!

I want more of Mamet's Achewood.

It better have Joe Mantegna in it. I'm also guessing it would now be set in Chicago.

Achewood is already about the complex relationships between men and features few female characters of note with basically all of them being defined entirely by their relationships to the men (girlfriend and mothers all). It's pretty much there already.

don't cuss.

I'm skeptical. If Aaron Sorkin had really produced it, they'd be walking all over the house while they talked.

Purposefully.

With long, drawn out cinematic camera paths...

Seeeeeerved.

But I chubbied you anyway!

Man, now I've got to dig out those Sports Night tapes.

Somehow, I think I would've enjoyed this more if it were "cussin'." That's just me.

In my prayers tonight i will pray, "god, please make the no cussing club not exist, that shit scares me, thanks god, you rock"

That is not what god is for. God's for like, laser-vision and world hunger.

This is the best fucking thing I have ever seen.

No cussing!

SHIT, yo

i JUST came here to post the same link!

What the fuck?
Fuckfucketyfuckfuck

seriously, this has made my evening. i will be ordering ten of their no cussing wristbands and the positive hugs cards tomorrow after work. fucking hilarious

hah, that positive hugs card reminds me of an old mantra of mine:
Negative words but positive feelings.
basically, tell your friends such as "i'll fuck your dad if that would hurt your feelings" but really mean "i love you and i would be nice if i didnt know we are friends forever." it's...a useless method of doing anything, but fun as all hell.

That scares me deeply. It's people like that that caused me to pledge to increase my level sometime around my senior year of high school and freshman year of college. I think that playing about 20 hours of Super Smash Bros. with friends gave me exactly what I needed to come out on top.
