  • No. Anything where the important parts of the panel are not easily seen is too small.
  • I hadn't considered that. I wonder if Jon's beard could administer some kind of evil CPR.

  • Two lame games I made up in high school: 1) What's Not In Oil Of Olay? The object of the game is to name things that are not ingredients in popular facial cream Oil of Olay. No repeats. This was actually fun to play if you had a lot of friends with especially absurd senses of humor. 2. Elvis Cards At one point I made a…
  • OMG. This thread is awesome. Robo-tigers. Heck yeah. Actually, the absurdity of the Two of Circles really made me laugh. Hamelin, I enjoy the idea that these characters know who Jon is and are craving sleeping bag updates. But does that mean that 6:35 takes place in Australia? As it happens, I will be updating very soon.…

  • Eee! I didn't know this comic was about ducks!
  • Then you should fix that. In most of your panels in which the sprites are too small, there is a lot of empty space. Just remember that a sprite comic is a comic. Most of your layouts seem to be based on video game screens, which is not a layout well-suited to a comic strip. You have the freedom in a comic to reposition…
  • What about Jason's mobile phone game?
  • I guess the snide intent of my post was less to indicate that I should've been researching genocides as a teenager, and more that it would be nice if sometimes real news could be played instead of celebrity news. But who am I kidding. I read The Superficial more often than CNN.
  • Ryoga-- high five for both The Prince and Three Kingdoms. Fascinating reads, even if the bazillion characters in Three Kingdoms make parts of it hard to follow. I actually am still only about 1/3 through the thing. My newest reads were loaned to me by a friend here in CA-- two books on the genocide in Rwanda, and one on…
  • I love subs and I am well-acquainted with fan-subs. But if the same anime is available as a (technically pirated) fan-sub and a legitimately-distributed dub, I'd prefer the legitimate version. First, it shows distributors that there is an eager American market for good Japanese animation. Second, as Ryoga was saying, the…
  • Well, I personally enjoy watching anime without the luxury of several years of Japanese classes. The people at Cartoon Network who bring anime to US television seem to be fans, not some corporation raping the original works for a quick buck. Viz entertainment is a pretty well-respected importer of anime/manga as well. From…
  • You know, I've never watched Brisco County Jr. This would be a good time to see for myself what the hype was about.
  • Night Lord, they first appeared over the Middle East in Independence Day and then they attacked all of the world's major cities. I actually liked this movie. Especially with edits, it did a great job of presenting a story with a number of interesting character and very little unnecessary exposition. Sometimes movies like…
  • OK, but if hatred made him rise from the dead, why did cannonballs make him re-die? My theory during this movie was that the cannonballs were patriotic weapons, and since he seemed to be raised from the dead by bits of burning Old Glory falling into his open grave, maybe patriotic items were the key. Then Mario pointed out…
  • Yes, and whoever did the backgrounds and sets did a marvelous job as well. I totally want to live on the Forbidden Planet-- its beautiful dark skies and strange geographic plains are awesome. Oh, and the models in this movie are really cool. The flying saucer is adorable!
  • Seriously! This podcast was so, so cool. I love Jeff's voice-- you actually sound very similar to what I think a DJ who lives on Sesame Street would sound. The poem at the end of the podcast was an awesome touch. Amoeba Boy, I can't wait to hear your next written piece. I liked this PS3 one even better than the Survival As…
  • Yeah, but a hood on a mini-sweater is pretty much a hat with shoulders.
  • I'm thinking about making one with longer sleeves later this year. (worse, I was thinking about adding a hood.) I'll tell you how that goes.
  • Good idea! Can you roast us some marshmallows in your heart, Hamelin? I'm kinda hungry.

  • Solar Death Ray will always melt things if you keep it in your heart! Also, you'll need to keep the sun in your heart. For safety, coat your heart with a flame-resistant lining.

  • I think I was right about the guy from Grad School and also Khan. It's usually Khan.
  • *high five* for paranoia! I've also in the past suspected other forum members of being this guy I knew in school, my boss, Khan, or superintelligent Google-bots.
  • Yeah, I thought he was Shadowweed for a minute as well. In fact, The Machine, you seemed so accustomed to the general grammar zeitgeist of this place that I was pretty sure you were some old forum member who'd finally got around to registering a new name after the great Orange Belt crash of aught-six.
  • Hahaha. We should tell these ladies that you can in fact stare at your own chest without the aid of a special sweater.
  • Hammy, my motivation for making sweaters is generally that I want to make them and then wear them, rather than that I want to stare at my own chest afterwards.
  • See, you're not sorry, and that's what the problem is. Tiny sweaters are sort-of a fashion disease. They're undersized scraps of sweater made to be worn over some other thing. Witness: I made that in red.
  • Leesh, what kiiiind of afghan? We need to start another knitting thread. I made Glampyre's One Skein Wonder last week, and now I'm on a tiny sweater kick.
  • Eee! jesshutch.com! Leesh and I like her designs. Leesh even has her out-of-print booklet of patterns. I wish I had one.
  • JC, I also "read" Freakonomics in audiobook form on my drive across the country last year. I'd also like to see some of the data, because in some cases I disagreed with his hypotheses. But I really liked the book. The part about using information as currency to fight the KKK was awesome.
