Awesome to hear that you quit your job.

YES! Everyone should be very proud of Zach, as he is now a FULL TIME ARTIST! He is living the dream! Way to go! ^_^

He's mentioned for a while that he'd love to be full-time SMBC. I also remember smack-talk about how he hates other full-timers who don't crank out content. So I expect some cool extras (I know he already started the podcast).

Oh, and I know it's mentioned elsewhere, but you should have a donation or merchandise section somewhere. Even if it's hidden. There are a lot of us who'd like to help with the dream

Thanks folks.

And yes, once I finish redrawing the archives, there'll be tons of extra content. I'm thinking of putting my CHASON strips on a regular schedule (I'll try 3 a week, so if I can build from there), and I'll also be doing the podcast.

I also have some longform stuff that, once the scripts are written, I'll be seeking out other arteests to help with.

In regards to donations - I'm not really into donations. I'd rather give you something, even if it's small. I'm currently working out exactly what it'll be, but I'm sure within the next few months I'll have some cool merch to toss your way. In the meantime, I may try taking commissions to do caricatures, avatars, etc. We'll see...

How much for a forum battle against green crayon?

Well, I know some people around here who'd benefit from buying some of your advertising, for their burgeoning webcomic *coughtwobuyandruocough*.

i've actually bugged twobuy about that a few times (since he provides the cash and i provide the art. mostly i like my side of the arrangement) So harass twobuy about it and we can probably bully him* into it

yes, gratz and huzzah for zach! i'd like to see some of the classic/b&w comics on a black tee. just pitchin here. the color ones would be a little bit harder/costly to put on a shirt, but if you could i would buy them.

also:

ohhhhh yeah.

What the hell is it with nerds and black?! I personally hate black shirts. Why would I want a t-shirt that gets so hot I can't wear it in summer. NOTE TO NERDS: Wearing black does NOT make you look cool, does NOT make you look mysterious, and does NOT emphasize your "internal suffering". Wearing black makes your armpits sweat faster and shows off your dandruff*.

*Unless of course you've used the blue... but you're still sweaty!

It's easier to tell how fat you are if you wear white, as depth is determined by shadow or something.

I have to agree with my english friend here.

and I wear black because I like to...and because deep down inside there is a goth kid trying to get out.

and then of course the guards come with their tasers and their needles and their tranquilisers and their sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep...

ruotwocone · Post by **ruotwocone** » Thu May 04, 2006 5:36 pm

here's an idea... wear navy. that way you can still sweat and have your dandruff show, but it also keeps you from looking as fat while simultaneously making you look less goth.

See! This is exactly my point. Whinney goths with fake, melodramatic inner turmoil (read "not getting any") wear black. That's not to say I don't ever wear black. I have a black transformers "T" I wear in my regular rotation. I'm talking about the every shirt I own is black crap that lots of nerds do.

Also, I don't wear white that often either. But that's because my white shirts are all too small, not because I'm a fatty (I'm proud of that

)

Real men need variety. How about a nice blue, green, grey, or brown (especially grey or brown - they're my favorite shirt colors). Hell even red.

It... really bothers you... what other men wear?

TwoBuy, dude, I thought you were married. I thought that implied something.
