posted by BobPosted by Bob on December 2, 2005: So, the new comic is up. When Steve laid this arc out to me, I asked what the arc looked like. He said "the first comic will be the setup, the next comic will be a Bob and Colossus comic, and the rest will be..." I was confused. How did a Bob and Colossus comic fit into things? So I asked "How does a Bob and Colossus comic fit into things?" (I never said I was a creative writer in any of these newsposts.) His reply was simple. "They need to buy a ticket." Of course! Tickets! That's what Colossus is there for! He sells tickets! I had completely forgotten that was what we created him for. So I thought about it, and by my count, he's pnly ever been in a ticket situation three times, and has been seen actually creating a ticket twice. So I guess my ignorance was justified. At least, that's what I like to tell myself.

Oh, did anyone notice the little cameo in last week's comic? I had meant to mention it, but I forgot when post time came along.

Steve will probably come along to say more about this, but our forum is... How do you say it? Fucked. So fucked to the point that it's gone. As of now, I don't think Steve wants to keep a forum up, but I'm going to try to talk him into keeping one. Whether its a forum or a Livejournal community, I'd like to keep something up. So we shall see what happens. (**EDIT** Forum appears to be fixed, at the moment at least. -Steve)

You know who's awesome? Fenris. I just thought you should all know.

I so want this. That is so cool! Although, honestly, I'd just be happy with a new battery for my watch.

So, I always talk about how the internet brings the stupidity of the world into my very own home, (which honestly, isn't very necessary- we've got plenty of stupidity at this place without the internet) and then I always tie that into a video of someone fucking their shit up bad. Well, here's some stupidity for you, but surprisingly, there's no pain involved. Well, not that you can see, anyhow. I imagine the buyer must have slammed his head into a wall when he got the empty box. Everybody, let's all point and laugh at mates96!

You probably all remember when Dennis Rodman had his book signing and he was dressed in that weird silver getup, then another book signing he was a bride, and he was "marrying himself." Well, he's got a new book out called "I Should be Dead by Now," which led to another signing. Of course, he dressed the part. What makes me interested is all that goldenpalace.com stuff. I wonder if I can just promote them all the time and have them pay for all my expenses. They seem to sponsor just about everything, so why not me?

Ahh, good old fashioned discipline. Take him out, dad!

So, you think "Emily Rose" had it bad because she was possessed by a demon? (Or whatever it was, I didn't see that fucking movie.) Imagine the horror...of being possessed by BILL COSBY! I think my favorite thing about this is that you watch it and realize that everyone on Earth does the EXACT SAME IMPRESSION of Bill Cosby. I don't think I've ever seen one that was any different than this type.

I've lived in the Chicago area all my life. I've grown up with Michael Jordan. I've seen miracle play after miracle play from him. But, I realize not all of you have had that luxury, so here are the top ten shots of his career. The man's a magician.

A little late, as we're far past Halloween now, but here's the twelve rules of movie serial killers. What's fantastic is that every single one is true.

And here I have the best class lesson ever. Ahh, school.

And I'm sure you've seen the original, but just in case, here it is.

Well, that's all I've got. So I will leave you with William Hung, who wants penis, apparently. Back in a week.


posted by StevePosted by Steve on December 2, 2005: It should come as no surprise that I found a way to work Colossus into this arc. He might be my favorite character, because he's the only one that puts Bob in his place. Bob pretty much runs the show in the Think Tank universe, so every once in awhile it's fun to write a comic where someone just rips into him.

So yeah, the forum is pretty much hosed at the moment. I don't have a clue why. One day all was well, then suddenly whenever you try to post something you get a "the board you specified doesn't exist" error. I tried a clean reinstall, and that didn't work either. Frankly, I think I'm done with forums. If we tried a different forum (again) everyone would probably have to reregister and we'd lose everyone's posts. I just don't think it's worth the effort. I mean, at this point, we've been doing this shit for almost 4 years. If we haven't built up any forum traffic by now, it's just not going to happen. Still, it'd be nice to have some means of communication with what readers we have. I'd be up for trying an IRC channel again if that interests anyone. I'm open to suggestions. (**EDIT** Forum appears to be fixed, at the moment at least. -Steve)

I just wanted to point out that Aikida is a great comic. You should all read it. Well, read our shit first, then go read it. Seriously, at least check out the one we just uploaded. Hey, get back here!

A note about the comic this week. That last panel is one of the most clever ones Bob has ever done. He really does draw this thing better than I write it. See you next week.
