YIN AND YANG

I gotta tell ya, I had one hell of a time coming up with an idea for today’s strip, so there is no grand story behind it’s origin. Just lots of grabbing at straws. I doubt I could spin gold from the one I chose, but I’m not going to get a nasty rash from it, either. The less said the better. It’s just one of those days.

I had a pretty low-key weekend and, unfortunately, couldn’t muster the energy to get out and see any of the movies I wanted to see. That’s okay. Everyone needs a do-nothing weekend every now and again. It was nice not to have any obligations.

Cami, on the other hand, was able to make it out to the multiplex and took in Two Weeks Notice with a friend. Cami is usually my movie partner in crime, but I was more than happy to sit this one out. But I had second thoughts when both her and her friend came back to report that the film was both genuinely affecting, well written and acted. They seemed sincere and not at all blinded by any notions of romantic overkill most of these movies try to cram down your throat.

If anyone else has seen it, I’d be curious to hear your reactions. I’m wondering if I may have lost an opportunity to rack up some brownie points on a movie that wouldn’t have been that tough to sit through.

I finally decided to replace the poll regarding Top Web Comics. It had a better turn out this time around with about 180 submitted votes. The final percentage came out with 50.8% of people saying I SHOULD NOT join the TWC and the other 49.2% said I should.

Jeeze, not only is the American voting public split on whether or not to have one party to run the government, but it apparently boils down to matters as mundane as these!

I pretty much had my mind made up on the matter before I posted the poll and felt with a large share of certainty that I would no affiliate myself with the TWC. But I ran the poll simply to see if there was enough public opinion to convince me that, hey, maybe the TWC isn’t so bad after all. I guess my initial assumption was correct. Thanks to everyone who voted.

The new poll is a little on the softball side. It’s basically just an opinion poll to see what aspect of the site you like the most. The results probably won’t bring about much change, but if there is a surprising percentage of you who really hate the About page, who knows? It might get the heave-ho.

I just want to give a quick shout-out over to the people at the Webcomic Choice Awards for their new site, WCA: Webcomic News. Eventually, the two sites will merge and they are still in there beta phase, but I wanted to call attention to a great idea that The One has put together. If he plays his cards right, I can see this becoming a major hub for web comics that doesn’t revolve around vote-whoring or ugly competition. He has an awesome PHP-Nuke set up that makes things easy to navigate and infinitely customizable. Go check it out.

GUEST STRIP – MIGHTY MITCH CLEM

You’d have to be blind not to notice the distinct style of today’s guest comic author. It’s the one and only Mitch Clem of Nothing Nice to Say!

I love his strip today. Not only because it’s the first full-color strip he’s done since coming back to the web comics fold, but because it does a great job of capturing the playful, sometimes elitist bend to my characters.

Thanks muchly, kind sir. You comic doth rocketh my world.

Hopefully you guys are aware that today is the last day for you to bid on the Sin City-inspired original artwork I’m auction off on eBay. You should scroll down a little ways if you want to learn more about it.

I’ll actually be back from Texas at some point tonight. So if you’ve been sending me e-mails, or anything, I will try to get to a few of them this evening.

Guest strips will continue even though I’m back from vacation. I’m taking a little well-deserved time off to work on a site redesign and opening up the store again with new merchandise. I haven’t taken any time off since last July, so I feel it’s a little deserved.

Be sure to come back on Wednesday for another excellent guest strip!

WHOSE RUMPUS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

WHOSE RUMPUS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

No sensible person would ever confuse Wild Things with Where The Wild Things Are – and therein lies THE COMEDY!

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Okay, admittedly, it’s a cheap set-up to the joke. But I like the dialogue in this strip. I like the back and forth between Jared and Tom. So I had a lot of fun writing it.

Am I alone in the Wild Things/Where The Wild Things Are connection? Was I the only one that tripped a trigger for? One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. I’m just trying to figure out on a scale of 1 to 10 how weird I am.

I don’t have a lot to say about Where The Wild Things Are in today’s post, so I’m hoping you greatly enjoyed today’s comic and I can coast by without a blog.

If you’d like a little more in-depth discussion, I suggest you download Monday night’s episode of The Triple Feature. We had a very productive discussion about Where The Wild Things Are as well as Paranormal Activity. I think you will enjoy our broadcast.

In the meantime, I’d like to draw everyone’s attention to the two blank Project Wonderful ads we have near the top of the page, to the right of the comic.

I recently dropped the minimum bid from $2.50 a day to $1.70 a day. That’s a steal no matter how you slice it, so I’m a little perplexed as to why I’m not seeing more advertisers in that spot. Is it the irregular ad size? Tell me it isn’t so!

If you have a web site you’d like to promote, please consider the open Project Wonderful spots on my site a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the exposure it gives you.

And I’m talking about the GOOD kind of exposure. Not the creepy kind of exposure you get from that guy in the trench coat at the bus stop.

Since I have nothing else to say at the moment, I’ll wrap things up here.

Thanks and I’ll talk to you again soon!
