FTFY. We've number plate readers everywhere in the UK, plus what was asked was well within the bounds of statistical analysis of traffic patterns.

As much as I generally loathe them; this sounds like one of the few legitimate uses for license plate readers. Capture everyone driving through one day, and then mail them all a survey.
In the mean time, if it's prepaid, I suggest taping your card to a cinderblock before mailing it back to properly express your opinion of the clusterelephant.
Edit 2: If it's not prepaid, you can do the same but will have to deliver it in person. Might be better to use a brick though to make it easier to do quickly.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Saddened by the death of the great Yogi Berra, I fell into a listless sleep.
I dreamed I spoke with Yogi, and asked about the future.
"Things will stay pretty much the same unless they change," he told me.
When I woke up, I remembered one of Yogi's most famous quotes: "it's deja vu all over again."
R.I.P. Yogi

Edit: I did it. Almost 15 minutes without a response yet...
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

That's probably because we have no idea what 'this' is! Is there supposed to be a link there?

The amazing bit is that he can still come up with 3 good ideas a week after all this time...

But does he? He averages three good ideas a week, but who's to say it's not an inspiration fest for a few days then dry for the rest of the month? We'll never know until he tells us!

Doesn't matter - to keep up that level of inspiration for ten years is seriously impressive!

Well IMHO not all the strips have the same quality, and I think that on average the quality rose at first and declined.

IMHO the 'H' stands for 'honest'.

It looks like everyone has different views on the letter "H." It looks like the H actually does stand for Humble. Per the Googles. Clickety.[^]

Yup! But we all know what it really stands for is 'haughty' in practice.

He caches ideas as all artists do, in fact when he had dire family problems he had a script that published strips automatically.

It is not that hard.
Most of us do it in our regular job.
Being a cartoonist is not rocket science, it is just a different kind of job.
I'd rather be phishing!

And isn't it good that TV and radio shows can now sing, play and arrange the birthday song as many times as they can possibly find an excuse for without having to consider the cost. It'll be Happy Birthday morning, noon and night from now on. Wall-to-wall ..... hmm, I may not have thought this through as thoroughly as I might have!
