Hey Dave, Welcome to .build.vignette! Glad you're enjoying it here. Joe is that way by design. He's the brainchild of Nelson and Nathan, two of the most prolific Vig-heads and the curators of .build.vignette. They announced the idea in (URL) this (...)

| | Question from a vig newbie
|
|
Holy moley, I haven't laughed so hard at MOC's in years. Every vignette I've seen has been delightfully clever and wonderfully self-contained. One question, though: Part of the point of the "Joe Vig" series of vignettes seems to be that poor Joe (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.vignette)

For my first Joe Vig vignette, we take a trip to the Far Side. You may remember the Far Side cartoon where the spiders have a web across a playground slide and one of them is saying "If this works, we'll eat like kings." (URL) Incidentally, this is (...)
