The Begging

Posted by Steve on September 19, 2003: If you click right here, you will be magically carried away to a new comic.

A special note to Bob's mom, who puts the blame squarely on my shoulders for the characters swearing too much. "Yo burger bitch!" was Bob's little addition to the script. I even mentioned you specifically in protest, but he insisted we use it. Sure, all the other swears in all the other comics are mine, but not this one. Just wanted to point that out.

In other news, my room has apparently become the popular hangout for ladybugs. There's been three of them in here the last two nights. I don't know if maybe there's a little ladybug mall or a ladybug health club hidden in here somewhere, but I suppose it's not out of the question. You know, just in case you were wondering.

Note to Sega or ESPN or whoever is in charge of Sega's football games now, having Tracy Morgan jackass his way through a commercial for your new football game is really not the best ad campaign you've ever had. You're selling this product primarily to men. Notice how EA's commercials for Madden practically shower you with testosterone right through the television? That's the kind of thing men relate to. Seeing Tracy Morgan in short shorts and a middrift prance around the screen, on the other hand, leads me to believe you don't take your product seriously. And if you don't take it seriously, I don't see why I should either. I mean really, why don't you just have a commerical featuring Sean Salisbury, Chris Berman, joe Morgan, and Stuart Scott, and see if you can just annoy people into buying your game?

No more Zwan. Word is that both fans are crushed. A co-worker and I had this theory about Billy Corgan that once he gets this solo artist shit out of his system, he's going to be a kick ass soundtrack score producer in the style of Danny Elfman. We'll see how that plays out.

Ok, have a look at this. Now, taking a counterfeit bill is one thinig. No matter how many security checks they put in, once in awhile one is gonna slip through. And I've even had occasions where one of our cashiers asked me about a 2 dollar bill which they had never seen before, and that's ok too. But when the denomination of the bill doesn't actually have a real bill, and says things like "we like broccoli" on it, warning signs should go off. I mean shit, who was on the register for this one?

D'oh! Stupid article making me like the guy from Disturbed. This is not good. Well, his band still sucks, so I guess I've still got that.

This is just fucking hot. See you next week.

Posted by Bob on September 19, 2003: Hey gang. I hope you don't hate the Burger World colors, cause there's a heck of a lot of it in the comic this week.

So, in an idea stolen directly from Blank Page Studios, which was probably stolen from somewhere else which was from somewhere else and so on and so forth, I'm jumping on the Sketch of the Week idea. The bottom line is that all I really draw anymore is the comic. So, in order to get me to draw more, I'm going to let you decide what I draw. Each week, I'll post a poll on the forum, and you can decide what I do next. I'd love to have a poll option on the front page, but I don't know how to do it, and when we had a poll back in the day, it didn't work out so well. I don't think these will be as finished as the comic, in color and such, but they will be more design sketches, like you'd get at a comic-con. So, here's the link to the post. You have to be registered to vote, so if you're not now, then please do it! It's fast, it's free, and it's easy. Kinda like Steve. Uhh, yeah.

I suppose that's all I have this week. So until then, vote, vote VOTE!
