Don’t forget to vote for Theater Hopper at BuzzComix so you can see our extra-special incentive sketch! I was really happy with how this one turned out.
Speaking of happy endings, it doesn’t end with the incentive sketch. I’m darn pleased with how today’s comic panned out. As you can see, I broke the traditional 4 panel set up and it feels good. Plus, I’m happy with the script. I think it’s a good joke. I mean, what man *wouldn’t* try to cover up the fact he was watching Steel Magnolias by falsely admitting he was watching porn instead? I like doing the relationship stuff…
But enough bragging. I have VERY important news for all of you.
If you had an account before, please re-register. If you haven’t had a chance to participate in the community, now is an excellent time to start!
If you’ve had a chance to swing by them since our recent server outage, you may have noticed that the forums have a new look. In fact, this is as closely integrated to the overall site design as they have ever been. You can thank Michael Melgares for that. When I put out the call for a little help formatting the forum template pages, he answered and then went above and beyond the call of duty.
Michael instantly understood what I was looking for and took immediate steps to put it into action. Without any prompting from myself, Michael whipped up a demo version of the forums. A couple of small tweaks later and now we have the forum you see today! Michael did in just a few days what probably would have taken me weeks to do otherwise.
To thank Michael, he’ll be given full administrator status in the forum. So for those of you who do business there, please show him the respect he deserves. He’s earned it.
As for the rest of you who wrote in and offered your services, I’m sorry if I couldn’t return a personal note of thanks. Frankly, the outpouring of support was more than I bargained for. A lot of you took your time to write in and I sincerely appreciate it.
I think every web comic creator likes to think that their audience is the most loyal or most intelligent. But I think we have them all beat because we have the largest contingency of both! You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for your help!
Just as a clue to what’s coming down the pike, you can expect to see Micheal’s name popping up more often around here. He’s offered up great suggestions to make the site better. In fact, he’s working on a specialty application right now that I really think is going to add incredible value to the site. I won’t go into details as to what it is, but I can say it will bring a greater level of interactivity to the readers. I’m really looking forward to launching it.
I have a lot of great stuff lined up for the site including additions to the Bonus Materials pages. Guest strips and fan art, for starters (I know, I know. I’ve been talking about that for a while.) Plus a new movie review from my good friend Nick Caster. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for that.
Please take advantage of everything the site has to offer. I’m having a great time assembling everything and I hope you enjoy it.
Talk to you soon!

I don’t know what’s going on with Web Comics List. Seems like it’s been down for a few weeks. So you probably can’t see today’s incentive sketch. Darn shame, because I think it’s really funny and it turned out pretty good. I’m thinking I might switch back over to buzzComix on the whole voting/incentive scheme. We’ll see what pans out.
Truthfully, I’m not really into the ranking sites like I used to be. It was just a kick to see how long we could stick it out in the top spot for a while and pal around with some good friends in the Top 10. The incentives are always fun, though. I like how I can typically sneak in another extra little punchline that I might not be able to squeeze into a regular strip.
Here’s hoping that today’s comic isn’t too blue for those readers with small-children. I don’t know why things have become so sexually-oriented lately. It’s certainly isn’t sexy, so it’s probably not going to drive up traffic. It’s not like I have Cami running around in a bikini for no good reason.
Although that’s an idea!…
At any rate, I had to do careful research coming up with the porn parody movie titles. Some of them are quite profane, as you might imagine. I needed to find something quasi-graphic so you would get the gist of what I was referencing without crossing the line into flat-out offensive territory.
That said, I wish I could claim these titles as my own, but I’m not that witty. These are – in fact – actual titles off porn parody films.
I remember distinctly my first encounter with this phenomenon. It was 1996 and I was a freshman in college. Cami and I were going to the local campus video store to rent Mallrats. It was in and out of theaters so fast, we never got to see it. By the time we were in school, it was out on video.
Prominently displayed in the tiny, privately owned video store was a comprehensive selection of pornography. Not tucked away in some back room behind a beaded curtain and under black lights. No. I’m talking about these things being within arms reach of the checkout counter and comedy section. You couldn’t miss them.
Two titles immediately lept from the shelf. "Black Booty" – a parody of the children’s film Black Beauty – and "Wednesday is Humpday." I don’t think that second one was parodying anything specific, but the title was so unintentionally hilarious, it became a catchphrase of sorts for the remainder of our college career.
"Hey, what day is it?"
"Wednesday is Humpday!"
Oh, how we laughed!
I’ll be back later in the day to annouce a VERY COOL CONTEST. So make sure to visit us later to find out how you can participate!
