I have long struggled to find a reference unit of stupidity in the field of ideas for SRoMG strips. I think I may have come up with a good candidate for the position here. The unit I will call "Quayles", for no adequately explained reason most definitely not related to Sid Meier's Civilization in any way. (I hasten to add, I'm open to alternate suggestions for naming such a unit, aside from "Odies", which, while deprecated, are still being used to measure Dog stupidity, or "Lubafs", which I believe are better used as a unit for measuring dumb Internet aliases.)
It should be added that the Quayle is intended as a measure of stupidity in the concept of the strip, rather than any flaws in the execution.
Whether this unit can be readily converted to iToons is a question I leave up to the reader.
For reference, here are a selection of ten of my own strips, measured against this Reference Quayle, in chronological order:
| Strip # | Strip Title | # of Quayles |
|---|---|---|
| 627 | Garfield Minus Any Kind of Artistic Talent | 0.1 Quayles |
| 1353 | Donut Wars, Continued | 2.7 Quayles |
| 1312 | Dumbfield instead of Darkfield | 1.7 Quayles |
| 1425 | Garfield Minus Enthusiasm | 0.5 Quayles |
| 1764 | Baby It's Cold Inside | 3.4 Quayles |
| 1773 | Is Everything Better With Monkeys? | 1.8 Quayles |
| 1833 | Novocaine | 1.1 Quayles |
| 1966 | In Character Garfield | 0.2 Quayles |
| 2197 | Marshmallow Bomb | 1.3 Quayles |
| 2930 | Disgustingly Logical Garfield | 0.7 Quayles |
Original strip: 1981-08-02.
