Say, whatever happened to that lolly anyway? Looks like Tom found it. What will he do with it? Vote for Theater Hopper at buzzComix to find out!
Everyone has been doing a really good job remembering to vote every day and I want to let you know how much I appreciate it. Usually, once a month starts over and the list resets, the person who is going to snag the top spot is usually apparent. But we’ve kept the race pretty tight. Keep up the great work!
Quickly I have to thank Jeph over at Questionable Content and Zach from Joe and Monkey for calling attention to my efforts to get Theater Hopper to number one on buzzComix. If you’re a new reader coming from either site, we’re nearing the conclusion of a week-long arc celebrating The Incredibles.
As long as we’re giving shout outs, I also wanted to draw your attention to our latest sponsor, Split Reason. I love this store. It’s a great place to go for all kinds of geek apparel. They’ve got a bunch of stuff for the holidays, so now is the time to order! Check them out!
I’ve had a few of you write and ask where you Spoiler shirts are. I can understand you’re eager to get them and show them off to all your friends, but I’m asking for a little more patience. I recently talked to the printer and he thinks he can have them finished this week. Then he’ll ship them to me and I’ll ship them to you! This entire process could put your shirt in your hot little hands somewhere between two and three weeks from now.
I know that’s a while to wait, but please understand the situation I’m in and why it was necessary to do a pre-order. I don’t have the up front capitol to buy a bunch of shirts that may or may not sell. Considering I don’t have any place to store shirts in advance of sales, I could literally be sitting on a lot of product.
Besides, without the pre-order, I wouldn’t be able to offer you guys so many awesome colors for the shirt design. And you liked having all those colors to choose from, right? 😀
So, again. Just a little more patience. I *WILL* be getting your shirt to you soon. No, I haven’t taken your money and run off to Mexico. Yes, a burrito sounds good right now.
Thanks to everyone for their support and understanding!
No new thoughts on The Incredibles for today. I’m saving up the last of my commentary for tomorrow’s big close-out strip! Check back soon!
There’s usually not a lot of argument as to the question of mortality when one is struck broadside by an eighteen-wheeler. But if you need further evidence of David’s untimely demise, vote for Theater Hopper at Web Comics List for the proof.
After "outting" the erstwhile David as a device to lampoon wacky secondary characters, there was no choice left but to kill him. I had pretty much rendered him impotent at that moment, so why not go out with a bang, yes?
That was pretty much the plan all along. Establish a new character, reveal him as a tool designed to deconstruct conventional storytelling approaches, kill him off. I’m begining to worry this might be a theme for me. The killing off of characters, at least. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that Dewey met his end at the top of the Empire State Building.
I don’t have much more to say about the arc than that. I feel I’ve pretty much left everything I wanted to say in the strip. I was happy how the art turned out on this last strip. It’s good to go out on a high note, but I’ll be happy to going back to making fun of new movie releases. I say that every time, don’t I?
Sales are going strong on the great apparel liquidation of ’06. I’m not going to beat you over the head about it. After all, it’s the weekend. We could do without the extra shilling.
Okay, one last shill. The sale ends February 6.
Here’s hoping everyone has a great weekend!
