Okay, I’ll admit that today’s comic isn’t “wet-your-pants” funny, but I’ll be damned if I was going to pass up an opportunity to win some points by doing a birthday comic for Cami on her actual birthday.

For those of you who sent birthday wishes from Friday’s post, Cami has read them all and thanks you. It just goes to show what an awesome fan base we have.

That’s why I feel so crappy for being late on the comic. The Labor Day holiday had something to do with it, but add the big birthday blowout into the mix and it all adds up to about 4 hours in the house total this weekend. We’ve been catching up with family and friends from out of town and have eaten about a dozen birthday dinners. Good times, good times.

I hope you had a great holiday weekend, too.

Be sure to check back tomorrow – I have some news relating to the site you should know about.

↓ Transcript
Cami, it's your birthday. So to mark the occasion, I'm giving you the best gift a discerning movie-goer can give.

It's an I.O.U to the movie of your choice! You can use it anytime I refuse to see some weepy chick flick. It's worth its weight in gold!

AN I.O.U.?! That's like a gift an 8 year-old gives because he has no money! You couldn't have stopped at the mall?

GOTCHA! The I.O.U. was a gag gift. Here's your real gift - a DVD of every Julia Roberts movie ever made!

YAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAMI!

SITE BUSINESS

Buckle in, kids. Because we’ve got a lot of clicking to do!

It’s a brand new month and that means all the vote stats over at Top Web Comics has reset. Do your part and VOTE FOR THEATER HOPPER EVERY DAY! Right now we’re at number 22 on the list, but I’m sure we can crack the Top 10 by the end of the day with your help!

With that out of the way, I want to draw your attention to TWO new sponsers that I want you to check out.

The first is Digital Entertainment News. This is a great site chock FULL of news, reviews and information regarding all of the latest home console and PC video games. Digital Entertainment News has one of the best and most professional looking site-designs of any game review site out there. Articles are easy to find and extremely well written. And don’t forget about the contests! Check them out now!

Our second sponsor is Twisted Kaiju Theater – a web comic of an entirely different breed. Using tiny Godzilla and Monster Island-related figurines, Twisted Kaiju Theater has produced over 400 comics of Japanese-flavored wackiness. It’s hard to explain. You’ll just have to experience it for yourself!

If you could check out both of our sponsors, I would really appreciate it. These sponsorships help to keep Theater Hopper going and I would like to return the favor to anyone who has faith enough to advertise with us. It means a lot.

Thanks again to everyone for their support. Things just keep getting better and better!

JARED BURSTS INTO TEARS

::Tear rolls down cheek::

Tom, did you happen to see what I gave Cami for her birthday?

Apparently I’m an 8 year old, though the money thing is true.

ahhh

::sucks it up::

Anyway, I saw Freddy vs Jason on Friday. I found it good for a laugh. Though it was gory, I didn’t find it scary. There is a kid in it that wants to be Silent Bob’s friend sooooo bad.

I’d like to give a shout out to my friend Pete, the $60 man. He’s getting married this weekend and it should be a blast.

AW, JEEZE – HERE COME THE WATER WORKS

For the record, I did not know that you had included an offer in Cami’s birthday card for a movie until just this evening – a whole DAY after I finished the comic.

Of course, that’s pretty lousy timing and I feel like an ass.

We would gladly have you spend your money on us anytime and thank you profusely afterwords.

Thanks, good buddy. đŸ™‚

A “SPINNING YOUR WHEELS” KIND OF MOMENT

September 3rd, 2003 | by Tom
Posted In: Blog

I’ve been batting around the idea of starting a second web comic – something more informal than Theater Hopper. Not exactly experimental, but less confined by deadlines or expectations.

Lately I’ve been feeling the need to branch out a little bit, but I really like the direction Theater Hopper is going. So it might be time to do something new.

I really enjoy The Journal Comic and have just discovered the Urban Transmission Project. I’m thinking of doing a journal comic along those same lines.

I’d probably follow The Journal Comic’s template in terms of style and update schedule (of course the art wouldn’t be as awesome). But I’m particularly struck by the ellegance of black and white drawings. Plus, I’d like to have the flexability of updating when I feel like it and working in panel arrangements that aren’t so tethered to the 4 panel job I have going here.

I don’t know. I guess I’m just thinking out loud.

If you have a reaction, hit me up in the forums or by e-mail
