Freakin’ Out
So these fidget spinners are starting to pop up in my household. My first reaction was to scoff, “Oh god… another goofy fad.” But while I was finishing drawing this strip, one of these gizmos was staring at me from across the kitchen table… taunting… teasing…
I tried it out. It was actually quite pleasant. And tilting it slightly back and forth produces that eerie gyroscopic pressure. It’s still on the table before me as I write this. I’m gonna try it again. I… the thing is………… if you……………….. uuuuhhhhhhh…..
Ok, gotta snap out of it. Back to writing…
So, I found this article about why these toys are so popular. If you click the link, you may hit a landing page first. Just click the “go to article” link if you do.
I don’t know if I’m gonna buy one. I’m a bit resistant to succumbing to fads. And I’m always busy, not fidgety. These days I don’t sit around letting my thoughts wander… unless it’s in search of the next Skitter strip idea.
But then, who knows? Maybe a fidget spinner is just what I need to brainstorm more comic strip craziness.

LOL! I had to look that one up. Never heard it before!
You know Germany destroyed over 30 tons of those damn things… and they go for 5$ a pop here. Someone made a metric ton of money off of this.
This is what it would be like…if you were up for three days…on Fidgits. It’s called “Fidgit Life”.
NO… SLEEP… ’til FIDGET!
Oh, My God; It’s a mirage/I tell ya all it’s FIDGETAGE!!
Nope… they’re just high on spin.
