To anyone who can come up with a better prediction of the future of brooms: I’m all ears! Just a big friggin’ wad of ears over here, dying to learn how my floor will get clean in the year 20XX.
Also: Anyone who feels like transcribing archived Mountain Time episodes should totally do so! Transcribed comics are searchable by text on the Archive page, and that could be pretty convenient. Pro tip: Any comic that has gives you the “TRANSCRIBE THIS COMIC” button underneath it still needs transcribed.
Brooms of the future will look exactly the same, but they will be used for dining in expensive restaurants.
a broom that collects all the dirt then reforms it into tiny offspring brooms, which then collect the tinier bits of dirt and do the same etc etc until NO DIRT REMAINS. it’s like a whole russian doll scenario. except that they’re not inside each other. and they don’t have a soundtrack by kate bush. ok I CHANGE MY MIND this thing should not exist.
And the world becomes GREY GOO. Broom goo, actually.
if it eats all dirt, there will be no crops. bad idea, verb. how about looking in your closet. thats about what the brooms of the future will look like.
there will be no brooms in the future, for the mop shall take over. mops that dampen the floor, then dry it, and then disappear, eliminating storage problems.
You’re just going to be pushing wet dirt back and forth across your floor if you don’t use a broom first.
Hmm, a minor design flaw i admit. maybe all cleaning appliances will just morph into the vacuumoproomsquid…
You are all fools. Swiffers Sweepers will control the future.
Well… brooms have been supplanted somewhat by vacuums, they just need to become better at hard floors..
no, the REAL lagging technology is .. batteries.. if they didn’t expire, we’d be using the same batteries from decades ago.
Isto, I would love to transcribe your comic! Alas, I am unable to remember the name of the tuna arm guy…
Salmon-arms Johnny. Incidentally, he’s the salmon-armsiest.
Oh… SALMON… They just looked so much like tuna!
Can the Antidust Act 1890 read “Are you thinking about cows?”? After all, he’s sentient.
i bet he can, but he’d much rather read “How Does Your Cleaning Compare to…?”
Anyway, the Dust Buster has already been made…
I thought for sure that someone would create a broom that has the ability to fly – not for transportation, of course (how silly) BUT a broom that could fly!
