… so you can find your name, curse my name for group tagging you, and stop reading.

But wait!

This is the new and improved Doctor Funny tag cloud for 2023.

In fact, it’s the list of contributors from July 1, 2022 to January 2, 2023 in reverse chronological order.

Now if that isn’t the best way you’ve ever heard of to ring in the New Year, I don’t know what is (but then again, I don’t know a lot of things).

Once you’ve processed the shock and awe associated with realizing that I can put a list of names in reverse chronological order please turn your attention to these items:

1️⃣ A couple of notable funny people aren’t on the list

If that’s you, join us. You can say “sign me up” in the comments.

If you know who’s not on the list and you get them to join the list, I’ll stop by your house and give you an uncomfortably long hug complete with random, pointless, back slaps. xoxo

2️⃣ Doctor Funny now has 663 followers

We’re shooting for 664 by year’s end.

Actually, we’re shooting for 1,000.

I’m not sure what good that will do, but wtf, 1,000 is a nice number, so why not?

3️⃣ If you’re on the list above

You’re contractually bound to publish a story per month in Doctor Funny.

No you’re not.

But, there’s pestilence, conflict, politics, and global warming, plus monsters under the bed like *rump and MTG roaming about, so what’s not to be funny about?

There’s also your family, your self, your proclivities, and your disordered thoughts to tickle your funny bone.

4️⃣ If you’re lucky, Kristine or Jennifer will edit your story

As you may know, they’re ̶n̶i̶t̶ ̶p̶i̶c̶k̶y̶,̶ ̶r̶u̶d̶e̶,̶ ̶u̶n̶r̶e̶a̶s̶o̶n̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶o̶r̶i̶o̶u̶s̶l̶y̶ ̶h̶a̶r̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ OK.

If, on the other hand, you get the shit end of the stick, it’ll be me sticking my fingers in your pie.

5️⃣ 2023 may be the end of the world as we know it

So you might as well write funny, because nothing you do matters.

That is all. 😀
