I don't get it?
although I don't wear ties. Only for formal occasions. Then again in the past 20yrs of my life, I've never actually been to a formal occasion.
*slightly embarrased*
Here in the US, a number of jobs require wearing a tie, and I never could understand the attraction of something so ugly and uncomfortable. So, the cartoon is simply poking fun at this by wondering what the purpose of a tie is.
I love your comics so far. I keep telling people that developers are creative people, and you are proof. Thanks for sharing.
I started using HomeSite when it was version 1.2 and still using it today (well Macromedia's latest version). And recommended to my boss to buy us TopStyle Pro.
excellent! that's certainly my philosophy on ties... luckily I seldom have to wear one of the cursed things ... ;-)

Brings to mind Henry David Thoreau's
"Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes."

So very very true. They're horrible things and I really can't see the point of them *at all*.
