There really isn’t a punchline to today’s comic. The whole thing is more of a conceptual exercise. The situation is the joke. I hope it goes over.
Aside from the whole “we can’t reach each other because we’re calling at the same time” bit, today’s comic is true to real life. Neither Cami nor Jared’s wife Patti are the least bit interested in seeing Hellboy. Women – What’s wrong with them? I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a long time. To me, it’s the first summer blockbuster of the year – and it’s barely April! Any film that casts Ron Perlman in the lead has my support. Jared and I are catching a matinee on Saturday.
With that said, I need to get down to business. On Wednesday I announced that Theater Hopper is taking pre-orders for our first t-shirt. All the information you need can be found in the store. We’re taking pre-orders through the month of April. So for those of you who complain, “Gee, I’d really LIKE to buy a shirt, but I don’t have any money!” this gives you at least TWO pay periods to get your ducks in a row. Sit down with a piece of paper and a pencil and put a Theater Hopper t-shirt in your monthly expenses!
I should probably also mention that I dropped the price of ALL posters by a dollar. So if you were thinking of decorating your walls, now is a good time to get in on a good deal. Remember, every order from our store comes with FREE STICKERS!
One last bit of business: Cami and I will be out of town next week starting Wednesday and won’t be back until Sunday. So that means you’ll only get ONE new comic from me next week. I already have two guest comics lined up, but if anyone out there is interested in submitting material that I can post on Thursday, Saturday or Sunday, you can always drop it off in my in-box.
Looks like we’re going to have good weather this weekend. I’m looking forward to pissing it away sitting in a darkened movie theater! Don’t forget to set your clocks forward this weekend!
FINE! I'l just call my friend! HE'LL go with me!
Aww, c'mon! His line is BUSY?!
Man, this sucks
