There was a Frontalot show in NYC? Why weren't we informed? I go down there once in a while; that would've been a great excuse for a visit.

Front announced it on IRC and on his own site, but I guess nobody relayed it over here. Oops.

You think so? That's not the impression I get at all. Like i said before, seems like an alright guy, but I've never met him, so I gues I don't know. But for the record, I think his comic is funny. It's no Penny Arcade (and neither of course can even touch Calvin & Hobbes), but I think it's definitely one of the best webcomics out there.

To each their own, I guess. Mostly I've just tried reading comics which people link me to as "teh funny" which I don't think are particularly funny (though I did think the little storyline about John Edward's Crossing Over was cute), and been linked to his various rants about various things which boil down to "I am right about everything, my experiences are universal, and I have a huge cock." Though that last bit I got by reading between the lines so it may or may not be his actual belief.

Just a little update:

18 competitors remain.
I'm still one of 'em.
All the "big names" have long since dropped.
It's only the crazies left.

I guess I am a crazies.

Lately, I haven't been able to produce the kind of "quality shit" I used to, but I'm still hanging in there. There are little gems that surface every week or so, but mostly I battle the clock, the kids, the popcast, the job and the motherfucking sleep to stay in this shits.

Just sayin'.
