Strategic Grill Locations

Posted by Steve on February 6, 2004: New comic here. if anyone was wondering, the title is nothing more than the name of the CD I was listening to as I wrote the update, since I'm terrible at trying to come up with titles for comics. (By the way, check out the CD. Funny stuff.)

You'll notice that we've got a new logo. (If you didn't notice, it's new. Trust me.) Basically, Bob didn't like the old one, and wouldn't leave me the hell alone about it. He's like a small child sometimes. I didn't really care either way, but finding a font that's really 100% free (for personal and commercial use) is tougher than you might think. So this is what we agreed on. (Actually, I do think it looks better this way, but don't tell him that.)

Bob showed me this earlier this week, and I figured I'd pass it along for anyone who knows html but struggles with color schemes. Pretty neat.

So, I'm guessing that "reallocation of inventory" means "getting these dust collectors the fuck out of our stores." I try to be a nice guy and all, but news of the failure of N-Gage is like candy to me, and my sweet tooth is never satisfied.

And finally, religious discussion aside (which I'm just not about to go into) you've gotta admit that this is pretty cool. See you next week.

Posted by Bob on February 6, 2004: Hey all. I don't have any new art or anything to post this week, but I *should* have something new next week. I'm working on something now, but I'm just not ready to call it done. Keep yer eyes open.

Okay, I know you're not supposed to hit women, but dammit, this is funny. Right here! Don't turn the speakers up THAT loud, cause the chick is grating.

As much as I hate to say it, I know that at some point superhero movies will hit a wall. Now, when this happens, I want you to remember what I say here: This is the harbinger of the end. Just a feeling I have. I know its supposed to be a meow at the end there, but I dunno, it kinda sounds like she's trying to vomit or she's just in pain. No thanks.

Now, I've been part of this comic for a while. Hopefully, you've been reading it for a bit. For this reason, I feel comfortable enough to share certain secrets with you that I wouldn't want to share with anyone else. Well, I've got a confession to make. I, like many, many other Americans, have fallen into the spell of something sinister. Something evil. Something I know better than to watch, but I just can't help myself to turn away from.

My friends, I think I've become addicted....

To American Fucking Idol.

I know, I know. But man, it's hypnotic. I don't care about people winning. I don't want to see the "good singers." I could care less, cause I don't think any of these douchebags are good. I prefer power chords and barking, as Steve would say. I am absolutely in love with the people that are awful and have no business even speaking, let alone talking. I love watching people melt down, and telling Simon to fuck off, cause he dashed their hopes of being a superstar. I love watching the midget sing, thinking she's gonna be the next pop superstar. (And I'm not even making that up.) You know, people think Simon is mean, but I think he's doing a public service. There are plenty of people in the world with no discernable talent, but they think they've got that mysterious it that you need to make it in the business. He flat out tells them to just stop, cause they suck. I think we need more people like that in the world. Where's the Simon of the webcomic world? Can I be the one to tell people to just stop? Can people send me comics and I can just tell them to quit?

Sigh, a boy can dream, can't he?

Well, now that I've gotten that red bitch off my chest, I will leave you with an AWESOME link. I'm not telling you what it is. You just have to trust me. Get with the clicking, and I'll see you in a week.

Posted by Steve on February 6, 2004: American Idol? American fuckin Idol? See? I say he's a woman and everyone thinks I'm kidding. Believe me now? That'd be kinda funny if Bob was the snobby British guy of web comics though.

On Superhero movies, you just know it's all gonna come to a screeching halt. It only takes one or two bombs to scare movie studios away from a genre, and Catwoman looks like one for sure. Although, maybe it'll tank and turn Halle Berry into box office poison and get her the hell away from the X-Men flicks. I can think of about a million characters I'd rather see in the next X-Men than hers. Although, like Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man, I'm not sure if I didn't like her performance, or if it was the writing. (I thought Tobey Maguire was great as Peter Parker, but sucked as Spidey.) Either way, her portrayal of Storm comes off too...Aquaman-ish, so she's gotta go.

Anyway, see you next week. Again.
