Beacoup thanks to Paul Spencer for his excellent guest strip. His will be the last this week as I plan on returning to the fold on Monday. Incidentally, Paul has his own comic called Make With The Funny that delivers just that. I think he has one of the better site designs out there, too.
If MWTF sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because we’ve been running Paul’s ad for the site here the last 3 weeks or so. If you’re interested in advertising with Theater Hopper, we have spots opening up soon! Check the calendar for details!
I’ve been “out of the office” (as it were) attending a business meeting in Ohio as part of the duties of my 9 to 5, so being available to update the comic has been difficult. Thanks for your patience and understanding in the matter.
Thanks, too to Jim Burgess and Kidnemo for their contribution this week. I sincerely appreciate it, you guys. The rest of you? Visit all of these fine artists’ sites and support their work! They deserve it!
So you probably can see where this week of strips is headed, but I’ve decided I’m going to run the joke into the ground anyway. In a way it seems almost fair. Viggo Mortensen’s nude scene in Eastern Promises seems to be the most memorable thing about Eastern Promises. Why not play it to the hilt?
You can expect more wang-talk on Friday. It’s all part of my orchestrated campaign to take "wang" away from Penny Arcade.
I guess it’s a little unfair to say that the ONLY thing people are taking from Eastern Promises is the naked knife fight. Gordon and Joe both saw the movie and we discussed it at length on Monday’s Triple Feature talkcast. If you missed it, you should download it. No technical problems this time! Yay! We’re quasi-professional!
I don’t have much else for you today except I think I made the decision to go forward with redesigning the site in WordPress with the ComicPress template plugin. I’m a little intimidated because I don’t want the site to look like every other site that uses WordPress. I understand that their code is very flexible, but then you get into the "Will I break it?" paranoia. I’ve got someone helping me on the back end, but does anyone have experience designing WordPress templates on the front end? If so, drop me a line.
I probably won’t have the site redesigned until the first of 2008 anyway. But I guess I just wanted to share with you that I’ve picked a direction. Hopefully making the switch will provide a spam-free environment for a comments section, the links to social networking that I want and a more robust search engine for you guys to use.
The one thing I hesitate about? Losing the Top 50 polling information. Man, I love that.
Oh, well. I’m sure there’s a mod similar to that somewhere, right?
Have a great Wednesday!
