Which Photo Best Describes NotGraphs’ Future?
There’s a chance this could be my last post for NotGraphs. And though it has been easily the best place I’ve ever written for, I am kind of glad to see it die. It is like a great painting in my life, a great painting I will smooth down with epoxy and other preserving agents, and there will be no memories of burnouts or angry commentors or mean bosses. Just the beauty of trying to be funny and sometimes succeeding.
So it’s in that context that I encourage you, dear readers, to tell me which of these freely and legally available photos best represents the Post World Series, or if the Royals wins, Post Apocalyptic NotGraphs?

if i live less than a mile away (college) do i get bonus points?
From of these sad places? No. No points.
well i won’t be voting for the pensive, awkward old man. definitely not.
Well, since it’s not your permanent residence, then it depends. Which one are you less than a mile from?
my current residence is less than a mile. my permanent residence, however, is some 550 miles or so north; though how long that remains ‘permanent’ is up to debate.
Oh, less than a mile away from the Estonian embassy? Gotcha.
my favorite weekend getaway
Did you know that was the Estonian embassy before you wrote the address? Or did you Google it like the rest of us?
it looked suspicious when i first saw the address, but i was not entirely sure what it was.
“Did you know that was the Estonian embassy before you wrote the address?”
No respect.
My current residence has a total of about 1,000 feet. Do I get bonus points?
