When Doug & Doug took their first bye week, we took it as a sly conceit that co-opted and repurposed the NFL’s scheduling quirks. It almost made them of the NFL. It was like they were taking on the system from the inside. It really opened me up to the possibilities of life and art.

But then the second bye came last week and we decided they’re just a bunch of jumped-up slobs with bad haircuts. No one said this internet thing was going to be easy, Doug & Doug.
