Spam As Folk Art for 2014 July 15

Ten years ago today, Steven Frank posted the first Spamusement comic, illustrating real subject lines from spam emails with "poorly drawn cartoons". Leonard and I loved it, and to celebrate, here are a few of my favorites. (Spamusement had an unfortunate strain of sitcom-level sexism and fatphobia but there were plenty of strips free from such annoyances.)

• Complaints and observational humor: Curso de PHOTOSHOP, Waiting Waiting Waiting, Too many decisions, the bigger the better
• Horror: Look out for your Family, Why dont you think ahead, Amazing Software Types While You Talk, Yeah, Yeah Yeah, I know!, It's cheating, but it works!
• Human foibles: It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help., I know what you did last summer, Your Managers Don't Have Expertise They Have This., I want you to talk to me, Your lover will jump for joy when you do this!, U are Stupid Dumbass If U Pay Retail Price For Softwares mentioned, its not even funny when you do that
• Whimsy: henrietta hamper, Your Dog Will Love It!, house and the sheds, FROM THE DESK OF GEORGE TETE, You have been appr..., THE LAST WISH OF A DYING MAN, Play video p0ker with the Emperor
• Puns and literalism: hide your license plate Grover, i am a new person, can't beat this....ox, Stop punching a clock, you address a cat, Your doctor recommended you to oboe, security...bacon, your document is silly!, Premium cigars with hat and travel case, want to be like a rabbit?
• Wish fulfillment/satire: Did you know Sprint PCS did this?, How To Live Without Fear In America, today is the day, you lack credentials for that position, Put your hands on the hot software, I can supply you the first quality programs

I want to especially mention She cant possibly be enjoying this! which Leonard and I treasure to this day every time we ask for a to-go box for leftovers, and this assortment that I suspect of being a "Cow Tools" homage.

Anyway, Steven Frank, thanks for a fun strip.
